I have an issue about the wifi doesn't work even it connected with an IP address and every time I use IE it pops out a message that says "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again". Please help.
A simple search would have showed you that if you set
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/InternetExplorer/EnableAutoDetect = 1
it would fix the problem and save you the trouble of posting the same question in two different places.
Also, try running the disable proxy file. I got the same error message on mine until I ran that. You have to run the restore proxy file when you go back to using the cellular internet service though.

OK so after having problems connecting my XDA2s to my laptop via wifi to use it's ADSL connection, I began to realise it was a major issue for a lot of users.
Having covered almost all the threads here regarding PPC WiFi issues, I still am perplexed as to how the whole thing is successfully set up.
I concluded that it was virtually impossible; that the PC would not provide the PPC with an IP address so I would have to use some sort of application to manage the connection. However, yesterday for some reason only the omnipotent holy deities of the grandiose gods of WiFi would know, I had it working perfectly. For about 10 minutes, until I decided to disconnect to see if I could readily re-connect. My hopes were of course, dashed, and I have not had it working again since.
I have tried every combination of settings on both the laptop and the XDA to no avail, and have followed more threads and links than I can count on my fingers and toes. I've tried all the same settings I had when it was working (briefly) but still have no real success.
So basically, what's the deal with getting this damn thing working? Maybe what I need is a step by step idiot's guide on how to initially set up the wireless network on the laptop first, to make sure it has all the right settings? I'm using a Vaio running XP home (built in WiFi).
Has anyone completely resolved this problem yet? I would really like a solid, clean method of setting up the connection rather than stumbling through a million different combinations of settings and ending up with something hashed and unstable.
Many thanks for any help on this, I'm sure it's a tiresome subject for many.
......And as is always the case, as soon as you post about it you figure it out!
If anyone is still having trouble using their XDA2 to connect to a PC's ADSL via WiFi, ive got it figured!
RE: ive got it figured!
PLEASE HOW? I HAVE ALSO THE SAME PROBLEM HERE
THANKS
Me too. I have a XDA mini S.
I don't know what settings to put into the thing. I had it connected for a short while but when I went into internet explorer it started connecting to GPRS instead of WIFI to internet.
Clearly I haven't got a clue. The book is of no help either.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Think i'm connected to the internet. It doesm't seem to want a password although one is listed listed in the router. Just can't stop it going over GPRS instead of the wifi for intenet????
problem solved
Hi All
Ok heres what I did .
Connections
under my work network
set ,set up my proxy server to "this network connects to the Internet.
Then go to advanced
Under select networrks ,Network management,Set both to "my work network"
Network Card
Network adapters
"My network card connects to work
Then select the network card ie sandisk
tick Use specific ip address
type in 1 thats on your network ,It will connect but you wont be able to browse still
Then soft reboot
change from use ip adress to "server assigned ip address"
soft reboot
and bingo
After I successfully updated to the latest WM6 rom I can no longer connect to the internet on the cingular network. I have tried to reprogram all the connection information from another source on the internet but my browsers are not picking up the settings.
If anyone can shed some light on the situation I would be very grateful.
thank in advance.
Try applying this cab file to restore your settings. It should work for connecting through the wap.cingular APN.
Thanks for the quick reply I tried applying this cab file and installed very smoothly. Do I need to go to the connections settings and change something because it stil did not work.
I also have an issue with the sim manager, it will not start and I get a message that "phone is not ready please try in 15 minutes" have you encountered these problems when you upgraded?
thanks again!
I haven't had any problems after upgrading to any of the ROMs I've flashed. What you might want to do is set up a new connection using the isp.cingular APN. The username would be [email protected] and the password is CINGULAR1. Call it My ISP or REAL ISP, whatever you want. Then, go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced. Tap "Select Network" and choose the isp.cingular network as your default. Tap and hold on that network and choose "Connect". Can you now connect??
nevermind I didnt know I had to go to the connections setup and change it to MyISP, and now it works great.
I restarted the phone and the message that the "phone is not ready" went away but the problem comes back when I turn the wi-fi on and the phone goes on stand by. If I turn the phone back on I see that the wi-fi is disconnected and it has to reconnect everytime, and I also get the message (cannot execute\windows\nrdwakeup.exe).
Do You have any idea what could be happening.
thanks again
My wifi is not working properly with pocket IE. I can connect to an access point, but when I try viewing a web page with Pocket IE, I get a message saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost."
I am able to download e-mails through wifi, so the connection issue seems to be exclusive to pocket IE. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
I am using WM6 Pro Black 3.01 on a Cingular 8525.
Try changing the following registry entry;
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\
"EnableAutoDetect" = 1
Turn off & on, and check it out... It worked here...
any luck ? im having the same exact problem and i can't figure it out ? i've also tried to turn the proxy off and it still the same. please help !! thanks
Sorry, I didn't have any luck. Thankfully I don't need wifi so it hasn't really been a big issue. Maybe flashing the rom again would work...?
Turns out all I needed to do was disable the proxy server. All you need to do is Start>Programs>Proxy Settings>Disable Proxy
my wi-fi connects and shows a stong signal but when i go on IE and try to open a page like yahoo.com it doesn't load and says connection error, or it says connection lost. i've searched and done everything but the problem is still there. i've done the proxy, changed it to "my isp" and everything is still the same. can someone help me thanks
I think we need two or three more threads about the same thing.

My brother gave me his 8525 after his girlfriend bought him a new phone. I then unlocked it using the unlocker that i found here so that I could use it on tmobile. I am on a prepaid plan and there is no way to get internet through tmobile with prepaid, but the WIFI should still work, but it doesnt. I can get it to connect to a network but when i open IE it wont go to any web adress i type in. Any ideas????
try changing your wifi power mode to best performance

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tried that, and it didnt make any difference.
When I try to go to a site it says " Cannot Connect: Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings"
I have tried messing around with the settings, but i still cant get it to work right.
I think IE is still trying to connect to the internet via AT&T's network service instead of going through wifi.
Under start>settings>system do you have a proxy folder? maybe it's under programs as well. Look for it. If you do, run disable proxy.
Also go to start>settings>connections>network cards>network adapters
make sure this is reads under "my network card connects to: the internet"
select your 802.11b/g and make it "use server assigned ip address"
Hopefully that helps
hey man thanks for the tips, but it still is not working.
I found my proxy folder and ran disable proxy, my card is set to connect to the internet and it uses the server assigned IP adress.
But now when i try to use the internet it does not give me the "can not connect due to your settings" message, it just keeps trying to load the page but nothing happens.
go to start>settings>connections
click on connections
go to the advanced tab and click on select networks
on the first dropdown make it "my isp"
with the second select "my work network"
That should do it
i think that worked. Im not near a strong wifi signal right now but i think its doing the right thing. Ill know for sure tomorrow.
Thanks Pedro 2K
I was having the same issue on my 8525 after going to 6. Seems fine now. I'll try from work on Monday.
~E
well as it turns out that did not work. I still think it has somtething to do with it trying to connect to AT&t's network.
any other ideas?
i posted in another thread about a similar issue that i have and it is still not solved
some programs that use data on my device will not connect using 3g (pocket outlook using gmail), but they will connect when the wifi is on
it's kind of the opposite of what's going on with yours, but i believe the root of the problem is the same, because we are getting the exact same error message
i believe the problem stems from how/why windows mobile 6 organizes connections; which makes no sense to me whatsoever
under connections i have:
"My ISP"
"MEdia Net"
"Work"
Of course there is nothing even under my isp, or work, yet it wont let me delete them
i tried deleting them manually from the registry and that messed a whole lot of things up, so plz do not make that mistake
my media net settings ARE correct, but why are there so many different connections here, that arent even being used, yet i cant remove them?
what the hell is "MY Isp" ? I thought Media net was my isp...lol
this is confusing and frustrating
any more ideas????
Try disabling and data connections using this:
http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-Software/246171/New-FREE-Utility/
This should make sure it is trying to go through wireless. Just a quick question, you are not connected to activsync while trying wifi are you?
ok, since you're using t-mobile, and only just want to use wifi, do this
go to start>settings>connections->connections->advanced
switch both to "my isp", click on edit (either one is fine), delete the modem number in there.
The last thing you need to do is disable the hidden proxy proxy. I dont know exactly how, cause i dont use the AT&T rom anymore, but its somewhere in the start menu, just poke around, there should be a "disable proxy' somewhere
@ surgex0
if you think that's confusing......on the tilt, they've added a 4th one.......AT&T ISP. But basically, whatever settings that was in My ISP, is now in AT&T ISP.
