Hi y'all,
Firstly I've had my XDA about a day! so 'cuse the noobiness here.....
I'm trying to access the internet at home from my xda via my laptop....
I have a router (not wireless) that my laptop connects to and my laptop then has a wirless card through which my xda will connect.
I have setup and ad hoc network between the xda and laptop and switched Internet Connection Sharing to be on for my LAN connection.....
However I cannot connect to tinterweb with my xda, the error message I receive is 'The Page Cannot be foun. Check the name and try again'
Anyone advise on how to sort this please.
Many Thanks
Frosty

hi there, i can connect to my wireless network, but cant get to log in to the web. whenever i try to load the page, it pops up the i window asking for O2 active (GPRS) password and domain. how can i connect to the internet without goin through GPRS although m connected to My wireless router.
Anyone pls help. THanks a million.
I have a XDA mini S. At home I have a wireless router/hub that is hard connected to my PC, but I connect to internet from my laptop via wifi (direct to router/hub) using an always on broadband connection.
I use WPA security, but when I tried to set up the XDA to connect wifi it didn't seem to have the ability to enter the WPA settings.
Ideally I'd like to use the XDA to network with the PC and the laptop for file transfers, but if I can't do that, at least I'd want to enable the XDA to access the inernet via the router/hub directly (ie without the other devices being turned on).
Can anyone help with this please - I know from other postings on this site that I'm not the only sufferer, but I haven't see a definitive solution.
Thanks
Charles
Forgive me if this has been covered before, I'm new to the forum. I did a search but can't find a problem which is just the same - hence the new thread.
I have an XDA Orbit II and run Vista Home Premium on my desktop, connecting to the internet via a Netgear WiFi router. My desktop and my partner's are connected via ethernet to the router, my laptop connects via WiFi and all have normal internet access. The router is set up for WPA-PSK and TKIP with a long password and when I turn on WiFi the XDA connects to the router immediately, and shows a valid IP address - which can only have been assigned by the router, confirming the conection.
I seem to be able to be able to access the Internet from the XDA OK, but then another time I get "page not found" errors and cannot connect to any sites at all. Generally when this happens it stays that way and subsequent connections cannot access the Internet either. Deleting all details of the connection and starting again seems to restore the status quo, but in view of the time it takes to retype the 32 digit password, I'm not too keen to do that often!
Whilst the XDA shows as connected and shows an IP address, accessing the router setup does not show the XDA as a "connected device" - I presume it should?
I'm not overly technical, but this seems quite incongruous to me. Has anyone any suggestions as to how I should go about troubleshooting this? I've no idea if it is a problem with the XDA, Vista or the router.

Bob
Can anyone help. I've been searching all morning but I'm getting nowhere...
First my setup. I've got Orange internet (ADSL) so connect to the net using its (inventel) livebox. Connected to that is a Netgear (DSL) WNR834B which I have to use as a network switch as the livebox only has 2 lan ports,
(just for info Livebox is 192.168.1.1, netgear 192.168.1.5)
After nearly 1 week of trying I've finally got my XDA IIs to connect to my Netrgear router (thanks to my brother and his XDA Orbit).
But I cannot for the life of me get my XDA to connect via Wifi to the internet. I have a wifi connection, but everytime I try to access the net it tries to use GPRS.
I've tried all the help I can find on the XDA itself and tried (and failed) to setup a work network, and route all internet via that (can't find a way of doing this as the wifi isn't even listed...). Tried looking on the Wiki and searched for similar problems on this site. Nothing seems to work.
Can't remember where but I tired to set up proxy to go via 192.168.1.1. Didn't work...
1 week of getting it to connect to the router to fall at the next hurdle... Help.
BTW my brothers XDA orbit connects via my router with no problems. All pages are displayed.
Can anyone help??
'Fraid to say I'm ok with normal cable networking but this Wifi is giving me a headache.
Thanks

Are you trying to setup your phone or laptop for internet?
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
why not just connect to home router.. it's much slower for the phone to connect to a laptop, which is connected to router anyways...
