when i connect to a router it gives me a dns problem. if i cencel DHCP, i get a TCP problem/ HR works for a while and then it doesn't again. it's on WM6
any ideas?
a little addon:
the gprs connection and the activesync connection view the internet just fine...
Im not sure if I follow the problem here... Try assigning the IP manually.
Cheers,
vlodeck.
i did/ i also assigned the DNS manually and tried 2 browsers. when the ip is assigned manually it gives a tcp error.

I feel so much better now!!
Anyways...I have a wireless home network up and running and would like to connet the xda to it.
I can connect to the router no probs but IE cant connect to the web. it says "the page you are looking for cannot be found".
Any ideas why I can connect to the router but not to the web?
Cheers folks - thanks
I know how you feel. There are a couple things you have to do.
First check that you have selected to connect via "work".
Then ensure that the IP address shown is in the range of 192.168.0.X
had no problems with my wifi on my home network, as ale210p said, I think it's with the way your connect via "work" or "ISP" is configured
hiya folks
thanks for coming to my rescue..hopefully i can get this thing on the road.
- in connections - advanced - select networks. both selections are set to "my work network"
- in configure network adapters - network adapters. the "my network connects me to" dropdown is selected to work.
- where can i check my ip address on the device?
Alhtough I am connected to my wireless network as that what the wireless LAN manager says?
any ideas guys?
many thanks
Is your internet provider checking the MAC address? my provider checks for the MAC address and hence I had to register my MAC address first with the provider.
I'm pretty sure my ISP isnt checking my MAC address as my PC and other computer on the network work fine with regards to internet access and I never gave the MAC addresses to the ISP.
However, my modem router does have mac filtering enabled. I have copied the MAC address of the xda to the allowed list. However I've also tried to turn this filter off and the result was the same....I still could connect to my home wireless network but had the same error message when trying to surf through pocket IE.
Any other ideas on why I can connect to the network but IE wont let me surf?
thanks again
I'm having exactly the same problem as Richard. What I don't understand is, I can drive around and find free residential wireless hotspots and surf the net , but I can't do it on my own WLAN!
IP info OK?
These symptoms could indicate that vital IP info is missing on your XDA.
Does your XDA get an IP address + gateway address + DNS server address from the router's DHCP server? Use vxIPConfig to determine this http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I know for a fact that many times (not always) my QTEK 9090 does NOT get the required IP info from my SMC Barricade 2804WBR b/g wireless router, so I started using fixed addresses on my QTEK.
If I use DHCP, many times I can connect to the router but am unable to access the internet... Because the QTEK has not received an IP address/gateway address/DNS server address in those cases. Fixed addresses always work.
whoa
thanks for the advice. i installed the app. rubbed the sticks together and there were sparks i tell you!!! but what does it all mean?
the ip address is 169.254.84.245
subnet mask 255.255.0.0
dhcp server 255.255.255.255
im no tekkie so am not sure what the above means? does it provide any clues?
thanks for the advice so far
just an update
i manually inputted the ip address assigned to my xda by the router as i have dhcp disabled on the router.
nonetheless it sill doesnt let me connect to the net but i can connect to the wlan?

Fixed IP address is good, but have you also put in the gateway address and DNS server address? Normally the gateway address + DNS server address = router address.
If your routers IP address would be 192.168.1.1 (quite common address), then your IP address could be 192.168.1.2, gateway address would be 192.168.1.1 and DNS server (name server) address also 192.168.1.1.
BTW; this:
the ip address is 169.254.84.245
subnet mask 255.255.0.0
dhcp server 255.255.255.255 <========= !!!!
means that DHCP didn't work!
I suppose that when you state "connect to the wlan" you mean that you can 'see' machines on your local network? Or what? That would make sense because you wouldn't need a gateway address and DNS server address for that normally (broadcasts).
siliconaddict....you're a genius!
finally it works, it works i say.
fantastic.
thanks to all for the advice and feedback - much appreciated.
can i stoke the fire and ask how i can sync via wifi as well?
never done it myself, but here is a guide
I have never synced over WiFi myself, but here are some guides:
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/WM2003/ActiveSync/WM2003ActiveSyncConfiguration.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=132820
Please note that the next version of Activesync, version 4, doesn't do syncing over Wifi anymore...
Good luck!
Sorry to be a complete noob, but:
1. How do I find out the IP Address of the XDA (Is it in Wireless LAN Manager, under "current config" and "IP:"?)
2. My Netgear USB WLAN is showing an IP of "0.0.0.0" (on command prompt >> ipconfig) How do I change this?
Thanks
Q & A
A 1: On your PDA use Use vxIPConfig for this http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html. Unfortunately the OS doesn't have a standard utility for it, like 'ipconfig'.
A 2: Does your router hand out IP addresses at all? Or: is DHCP enabled on your router? If true, do you have the correct drivers loaded for that USB NIC? In Device Manager how does it look? Yellow exclamation mark? Can you post the output of 'ipconfig /all'.
Hope someone can help: Every time I connect my JJ to my PC, I get a popup error message "Pocket PC Networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"
This only happens when I connect to my PC via AS, and clearly it's because my JJ is not finding an IP address for via-PC networking - only I CAN access the internet this way! So, it seems that some OTHER adaptor is trying to get an IP address and is failing
I've gone thro all my PPC's network adaptor settings - all set to obtain IP address automatically - but I do believe this problem started when I first looked at these settings.
Is DHCP server enabled on your PC/router/whichever?
No, my PC is not acting as a DHCP server, and my router is an adsl router that serves my PC - which it is doing fine.
I didn't change anything on my PC nor router, just browsed network ADAPTORS on my PPC and next thing I knew I was getting this message. :?
Further, my PPC IS getting an IP address on one of the adaptors, which I can ping from my PC, and it does connect to the internet via my PC without problems (it's 169.254.2.1 on the "remote-NDIS Host" adaptor - which you will show too). Thus, I surmise that the adaptor that is supposed to connect to my PC is working, and it's another network adaptor that's decided it wants an IP for some reason... :? :? :?
Not a critical error, but I hate not being able to solve my JJ problems
I had this problem too.
It's because the Remote-NDIS Host adapter is set to DHCP.
The "catch 22" is this.... If you set it to an IP, the ActiveSync won't connect, but your only other option is to set it to DHCP, then you get this problem.
The solution...
Set Remote-DNIS Host to DHCP via Settings->Connections->Network Cards
Now edit the registry...
HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Params\TcpIp
Edit the key "EnableDHCP" = 0
Problem solved !... No IP set and no DHCP either.
Basically, RNDIS shouldn't have an IP set, but it shouldn't be DHCP either... but as soon as you view RDNIS via the usual network adapters setting then you are forced to have one of the other, which will cause the problem described in this thread or will cause ActiveSync not to work.
Thanks arthurfuxake!!!
You also solved my problem!!!
Good Fix! arthurfuxake

Thatz one awesome soltion arthurfuxake! Thanx man! It seems to have fixed that nagging "Unable to obtain server-assigned IP" error that used to keep popping up on my screen. There is only one other problem... my Atom still can't connect to the Internet through ActiveSync! Any suggestions?!
Hi,
I can connect to my home router no problem. the connection strength is good but when trying to access sites thru the connection it always comes back as failed? When i do the same thing thru GPRS it works fine?
any ideas?
Do you have an IP address, do you use proxy settings, ... :?:
I have the same problem.
When i choose automatic ip adres and dns servers it could not connect to my router.
I must set the ip adres and dns server manual then it could connect to the router.

cheers
Hi everybody,
I have the same issue for a long time.
I connect to a wifi connection with DHCP enabled.
My Wifi connection works correctly, DHCP assigns my device an IP address but DNS stays empty in Wifi options.
I succeed connecting to a website if following these steps:
-I manually enter a DNS server IP.
-This stops the wifi connection
-I restart wifi
But then if I stop wifi and start it again, I cannot surf anymore.
I have to manually change DNS again (switch main and secondary DNS IP addresses)
Am I the only one to have the issue, or has someone heard of a solution ?
Any help welcome .
No one has an answer to the same problem I have too ....
No DNS if wifi is connected, on 3G it is all working fine ...
No one tests for DNS problems in cooked roms on this site ...
i would look into the settings of the wifi router to discover why it's not providing a valid dns
as it's normaly does when the wifi is set correctly
That certainly sounds like it could be the issue.
In case anyone is looking for quick and reliable DNS servers, try these 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.4. I seem to remember they are AT&T's but please don't quote me on that.
I experience a very strange behaviour in my eyes and did not yet found a solution here.
Conditions:
-WinMo 6.1 on SE XPERIA X1 using different cooked ROMs, maybe also the official ROM
-automatic SE or manual connection setup used for t-mobile DE
Error characteristics:
-data connection itself (GPRS connection either on 2G or 3G network) is active
-applications can't connect to any site (opera, htc weather, quickgps)
-but if IP addresses are used instead of names then connections to a web-site are successful (A direct IP address http://209.85.129.132/ does work, but not http://www.google.de/ e.g.)
-the error is somehow reproducible, but it can not exactly figured out under which condition it appears
-the error stays after power off or soft reset, only flashing the rom new helps
-the error does start after a while (hours/days)
-the error seems to be somehow in conjunction with switching network type between GPRS, WLAN and using the Internet connection of a PC connected with ActiveSync, but there is no unambiguous correlation distinguishable when the error starts
solutions:
-my first idea was that DNS service on the X1 is somehow not working, so I used openDNS specific adresses for the DNS server instead of the server-assigned addresses, but the error stays
I hope you have any ideas for me?
confirm error by my Xperia
Hello yesterday i posted the same error by a rom Thread,
had the same error on 6.5 and 6.1 with skyfire the internet works but Weather, QuickGPS... don't work, hope that find a solution for that.
by the way my Provider is ePlus (Germany) maybe this is an error according to the Provider.
thanks !

Hi everybody,
I have exactly the same problem with o2 Germany. I tried it with the open dns servers but still the same network error occurs... Has anybody solved this?
Hello,
I have a similar problem when I'm using for my wifi static ip and manually settings for DNS. At home I'm using static ip settings for my wifi, so after i closed my Wifi connection on the Blackstone my Opera at GPRS/3G connection will not disolving the URL like www.google.de but when I'm using the IP it works fine. My workaround is to delete the static IP settings and the entry for DNS and the the desolving of the URL is working.
problem solved

thanks bieza, that worked for me as well . i had only static IP (with auto DNS) for WiFi, and dns was failing for cellular connection (EDGE). changed wifi IP back to auto, and problem fixed.
interestingly, when DNS was not working for EDGE, i could use ICS as usual. i was browsing on PC, but due to DNS problem nothing was working on the same phone.
it's a touch (ELF 64/128) running on ONYX 4.6.
