hi all...
i just purchased a mda vario 2 and i seem to be having problems connecting to internet explorer and msn messenger via wifi. i have set up the wifi connection and it all shows that i am connected. but it just doesnt find any pages or connects to my messenger. any ideas guys? i know most of the topics on here are to do with some form of connection problem or what not.... so i will appreciate any advice.
settings->connections->Connections->advanced->sellect network
odd ms havent addres'd this a long time agoe judging for how many people who ask this question
but then guess it's the same thing for pc users who wanna change between their internet access between wifi, nic and modem
I don't think that this is the issue because my wm5 os seamlessly switched from wifi to gprs.. I see the same issue where I can access the new through the gprs setting but not through the wifi when connected to an access point. I know that the wifi accesspoint works cause I can access it on my laptop. I think it has to do with a registry setting..

I have a belkin router. It works well with several laptops.
I can connect to it with my JASJAR and get an IP address.
If I sync pop3 email it uses WIFI and works as expected.
If I sync journal bar it uses WIFI and works as expected.
However if I try to use internet explorer it alway tries to start a GPRS session and refuses to work through WIFI. :evil: Why??
Ive sent hours trying every setting I can find.
Anyone have any suggestions? :?:

At least your Wifi network doesn't crash as soon as u connect the JJ. Mine doesn't even get that far...
Anyone who can help???
Hmmm I wonder if this is something in the Telstra settings Cab.
Re those having problems all on Telstra?
Might try a hard re set and then manually build the settings.

Try de activating the phone. this allows you to use IE via your wireless router.
Tried that, thanks.
I just get the "Cannot Connect" message and if I dismiss it. Nothing!
However I can sync the weather without getting the "Cannot Connect" box. SO the WiFi is working, its just that Explorer can see it.
Im running the O2 UK firmware and it works fine (auto gives prefernce to the WiFi if I am in range, try loading on the genuine Imate firmware.

I know how you feel. I can't get wifi to work. Heck, I can't even use IE when synced to the computer via USB :evil:
Have you tried messing with the settings in start/settings/connections/connections?
I finally got it working.
You have to chose the "Telstra Internet" setting in Network Managment.
Its in Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, select "Telstra Internet".
I then did, Settings, Connections, Manage existing connections, Modem, and set it to "Auto"
It uses the WiFi first and then only uses GPRS if there is no WiFi.
Hope this helps someone else !

Can anyone help me with just getting my JJ connected to the wifi network without crashing the router?
Have you tried turning off any encryption etc and re booting the router.
Then try to connect at the most basic level?
Now I'm totally confused
I don't know what is going on!
I have finally managed to use IE via Activesync, using "Telstra Internet" as my My network connects to...
I tried again to hook up to the wifi network. The router is connected to my desktop via a physical cable, and my tablet pC is connected wirelessly (my JJ syncs with the tablet). I turned to tablet off, and then connected the JJ to the desktop wirelessly. On the desktop, I am no longer able to connect to the internet, but for some reason, the JJ is able to connect to the internet :shock:
But, even if I disconnect the JJ from the network, my desktop is unable to connect back to the internet until I reboot the router. What does this all mean????
I have the same issue with my MDA Pro! i done even have the sutp option in the modem settings. I can connect to my belkin router with encryption but no response when in IE!
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
I'm beginning to think that nobody has a solution to such connection problems. Is there any hope on the horizon? Any chance of something being sorted out by MS?
BTW, how well does BT syncing/internet connection work?
Ok frustration rising.
I can connect to my Belkin wireless router with no problems but I can only log onto the router and not browse the internet!
I have checked that the proxy is not configured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Nope
hi, i have the problem, that my mda pro is connected via wlan (DHCP, correct ip and i can use some ip tools to make tracerout etc, so this is working fine.
only internet explorer and icq and agile messenger want to make connection by gprs.
why?
what i am doing wrong?
any idea?
thank you, Wolf
I also have the same issue. Havent had time to work it out yet!
My router settings have all been checked:
MAC address filtering
WEP 128 encryption
DHCP
I can join my home wireless network but like you said no surfin once connected.
Very frustrating. :evil:
i think i found the problem:
if i switch on the mobile phone radio, it works.
it seems to me that only than he can choose between gprs or wlan if radio is on...
please check it...
wolf.
Sorry but what do you mean by switiching the radio on?
Do you mean the wifi?
Surely you need the wifi on in the first instance to be able to join the network?
he means the phone (i.e not in flight mode :wink: )
I have a similar problem but that is for file exploring on a networked pc it keeps trying to dial gprs :x
I tried again lastnight and it maybe becuase I have WEP 128 enabled on my router. I dont really want to go any lower than 128 encryption because the security on that is already pretty pants.
I'll give it another go on just standard WEP just to ease my conscience!
Heya, Does anyone know of a way to stop the phone trying to connect to any wifi connection as you can with a normal wifi connection on a computer.
I have two wifi routers and would like it only to connect to them however it
disconnects when ever it sees a another router i.e my neighbours.
Also does anyone know of a good Free MSN App.
Regards
Nick

If you are already connected to a WIFI router the phone should not disconnect even when other WIFI networks are detected.
MSN messenger and Hotmail can be accessed using the preinstalled "Pocket MSN".
I have been reading this forum and many others all day about the wifi problems people are having but none are like mine so I would like to ask this question, I turn on wifi and it will not find my network or any network around. I have tried to manually put in the ssid and ip address and still it will not connect that way either. I have checked and double checked all my router setting (currently set to open with no wep or anything) I am begining to wonder if the wifi is broken? My second problem I have found it when I change the connection setting to my isp I cannot connect to the internet. Maybe a bad setting, I am not really sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
is your router set to broadcast the ssid? if not then that is the problem. if this option is not enabled then no one can see your router.
as far as connecting via a cell connection, make sure you are using an operator cab. I am sure if you do a simple search you will be able to find a cab that will load all of the proper setting for a cellular internet connection.
who is your provider?
Yes, my router does bradcast the ssid and I have four computers and printers that find it without anyproblems. When i turn on wi-fi the phone doesn't even search for a network the icon shows up but I don't get the arrow that go back on forth to show that it is searching or connecting.
I am also having a problem with my 8525. I do get connected but i cant browse the net. Can someone tell me how to setup a connection from scratch to connect to wifi. Thanks

Search around on the Hermes forum. IE doesn't know to use the WiFi connection when it's available. There's a registry key setting that needs to be changed in order for IE to make use of the WiFi connection rather than going out over your data connection with your carrier.
Hi guys,
Got my Xperia recently on Vodafone UK network. Had problems with Wifi connection as it wouldnt connect to my home local wireless network although all security keys were right. So decided to flash it to the generic UK ROM...did so and everything else is working just the way it is...but the WiFi problem still exists. I cannot connect to my home wireless network. I can see my network, can click connect and it prompts for my network key...I've put the correct one in and it scans for a little while and then a message 'unable to connect to network, please check your network or service provider settings.'
Any idea? This phone seems like a total waste of time and money if I dont make use of it connectivity to the max! Please please please advise!
many people exp problems like this with phones with wifi and iphones and ipod touch and other portable wifi devices
most success seem to be with upgrading the firmware of ones wifi router
other people use changing to another encryption form like wpa or wpa2
wifi
i had the same problem with my netgear router, but all i had to do was log on to the router with my pc, where all the settings are and allow the connection with my X1's mac/IP address. hope this helps.
THanks for all the info guys...I have upgraded the firmware for my wireless router and it works now, I can log on with the Xperia to the WiFi. However...I still cannot use it to do anything useful. I try login on to Windows live...no...Skype...no...Opera...no. Although it is connected to the WiFi, it does not seem to be able to surf the internet. Any ideas?
well.. I would first try to disable any security to make sure your router and the phone can talk first....
now I have just got my phone 2 days ago and since then I have been using wifi all day long.... I can get on msn live and skype and opera and youtube etc... if you want to try it is the phone or the router just try to logon to another router and see... otherwise you can try bringing your phone back to the shop =P
