WiFi Question

I currently don't have a data plan, however I wanted to take advantage of the 801.11b feature on my home network etc. Everytime I connect through WiFi, it tries to go through Cingular GPRS. Is there a way to get online through my network and not Cingular?

I too don't have a data package and also suffered constant unwanted GPRS connections. Since installing the new ROMs, which I assume don't come with the GPRS settings, WiFi works fine.

do I have to install the new ROM for WiFi to work? Where can I get this new ROM?

First, go to Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select networks, and change the first option to "My work network" and this will force it to go through Wifi.
When I had this problem, it still wouldn't work. For some reason, some routers need you to give them DNS info. Call your ISP and ask them what the IP address for their DNS server is. Put this in your router's DNS settings and it will work.
There is nothing wrong with the wifi in the Cingular ROM. A new ROM will not help you.

So this is close to the 'problem' I'm having. My MDA (t-mobile vario) latches on to a wifi network in the area, and I can't figure out how to change it to the network I want it to connect to (other than physically moving to a location that the other networks aren't available).
I always figured it would be listed in settings->wireless LAN. That seems to be display only (the entries are greyed out). Shouldn't there be a listing of detected networks? Shouldn't there be a way to enter a non-broadcasted SSID?

Well, pfft. I didn't search hard enough.
Settings->Connections->Network Cards

I understand what you are all saying but my experience with the I-mate Rom locked up my Router, the new Qtek rom worked first time. I didn't need to search for any settings.
:shock:

Same
Same here,
First connection no problem but if I want to connect a second time I need to Reset my AP.
Any suggestions.
tnx
specs:
Qtec 9100: 2.17.7.2 WWE
2.07.10
AP: D-link DWL-900AP+

Sorry can't help, mine works OK. Try Qtek Rom 2.17.7.2.WWE

WiFi strange problem

I can connect to my wifi network, ping everything dns, gateways, routers, and move files, but I.E. just stalls saying connecting. Started after I added a2dp? Anyone? :twisted:

Hi sely!
Try doing a hard reset and try to connect with IE using default settings without any proxy servers. Then try an alternative browser like netfront or minimo and check if it has the same problem. If it doesn't it's probably some kind of IE fault.

GPRS and WIFI simultaneously ... how?

Running WM6 on a Wizard. Use T-Zones $5.99 plan, and GPRS works fine.
I can connect to my wireless router. Linksys WRT54GS running DD-WRT. Wireless authenitcaion WPA2 PSK. I get an IP, all looks well.
If I turn off GPRS, and try to use WIFI to surf in IE, it times out, and I cannot get a connection. I know my router works fine (using it to post this message).
Any ideas? I am starting to think that WM6 doesn't support WPA2. I'll do some searching ...

i would try the network tools ms have free for download it
include ping and such to see if there was a network connection
also i would try to go into settings connections ....
and set it to use the my network rather then my isp setting
to see if that make it possible to surf using wifi

GPRS is not working

I am using Kaiser with the bellow ROM and radio versions.
rom Version 1.62.502.0
rom date 01/17/08
radio 1.27.14.09
proto 22.45.88.07h
With this setup it works without a problem. Suddenly it stop allowing me to brows net and no traffic (TCP/IP) traffic passing through. APN and all others are ok. I can connect to the GPRS network and i can see the connection duration as well.
I have no problem with the Phone and SMS.

Wifi Connected-ie Won't Surf -help!- Really Desperate Here!

I have a non branded TyTn, running on Schap's 4.31 ROM.
Now, this is the problem.
My TyTn locates a WiFI ntework and connects onto it.
Then, I start IE and try to load a page. But, in the progress bar stands ''Locating'' for some time and then it says ''Cannot locate the page. Try again later.''
And any other app using internet connection won't load. Like, Airscanner AntiVirus when I try to update.
I've tried loads of sonnection settings combinations, like, selecting My ISP, My Work network for ''Apps that connect to Internet should connect using''
Could anyone give me a fair solution or at least could someone who has got his IE to work to write down his connetion settings for me to try.
I am getting desperate, since the main reason for buying a TyTN was WiFI.
Someone suggested that I select My ISP, but there's catch: when enter to edit the My ISP, under the tab 'Modem' there is not a single connection listed even when I'm hooked up on a WIFI network. Should there be something in that list? Maybe that's the issue.
And in >start>settings>connestions there is no Network cards icon at all.
PLEASE, ANYONE!

depend on your network really
if you can check if gateway and dns are the same as
on your computer
and of cause if you are not getting your internet from the router
but from internet sharing your gateway could be required to be set
manualy to the computer sharing the internet

The problem is that it happens even on a wifi free spot, not only my home network.
How to setup gateway and dns on the phone?

One question: under My ISP, tab Modem, does any of you have listed the wireless modem of your device? I have absoluetly no modems listed there, maybe that's causing the problem. And when I try to add one, it offers me only Bluetooth, cell line, Cell line( GPRS, 3G), IrDA, Haynes compatible on COM1; no TIACXWLN1, which is the name for the wireless modem on TyTN.
Maybe, a different Radio ROM upgrade would help? Could it be the radio ROM?
My radio version is 1.48.00.10

I had the same problem as yours previously on my other PDAs and Smartphone.
I simply hard-reset the device or re-flash a ROM

Start> Programs> Proxy Manager
Disable your provider... Give that a go...
