wi-fi conection problem - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I have a O2 XDA-EXEC Pocket PC I am having problems setting up my WiFi connection and cannot seem to find out what to do to resolve.
When using my laptop wifi connect I set up the following
My network name (iiscwlan)
Authentication WPA
Data Encryption TKIP
802.1x EAP Type as PEAP.
Then under configuration of PEAP I uncheck Validate Server Certificate and all connects perfectly
TO KNOW MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS CONNECTION VIST http://www.serc.iisc.ernet.in/LAPTOP_ WN_conf.htm
With the O2 XDA-EXEC I do the same but there is no configuration setting under PEAP to enable me to uncheck Validate Server Certificate. Every thing I do while attempting to connect using the O2 XDA-EXEC I get the following error messages:
Server Validation Error - The server certificate is issued by an unknown authority
and
Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable validate server certificate under Windows Mobile 5.0???

Hi,
i used 802.1x authentication on my MDA.
The only thing you have to do is to add a DWORD Regestry Entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MAICHNE-->Comm-->EAP-->Extension-->25
Name:"ValidateServerCert"
Value: 1 to activate Validation, 0 to turn it off
If you need a Regestry Editor you can use PHMRegedit.

THANK YOU
Thank U Man

XDA EXEC WiFi Problem
Please advise me how to get connected with WLAN of university by using XDA EXEC. I tried a lot, but not successful.
When I click on 802.1x EAP type PEAP, properties, then it says "Network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you".
But with other windows mobile 5 device having 802.11b/g, it works well.
Please help me to rectify this problem.
Thanks a lot in advance.

even if after instaling
if it says validation error try this
The only thing you have to do is to add a DWORD Regestry Entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MAICHNE-->Comm-->EAP-->Extension-->25
Name:"ValidateServerCert"
Value: 1 to activate Validation, 0 to turn it off

Hi,
the solution i have written above makes you visible for a "man in the middle"-Attack so if you can get a Personal Certificate from your Administrator it would be a better solution.
In my case the Administrator was not able to create a valid certificate so i tried this one.

So I installed WM6.0. The option to turn off validation is not there. Attached are the options. Any ideas?

Change WLAN MAC adddress

Hi,
Where I work I've access to the WLAN with my LPT. The WLAN is configured with MAC address access list.
Is it possible to change the MAC Address of my P3600 to access the WLAN?
Thanks
Sbay
No absolutely not possible. You should let your mac adress added to the network.
hello, i don't see the MAC address in settings and the wi-fi doesn't turn on now.
What can i do?????
Help!
and, as i enter in bootloader, after USB i read in Red: WLAN ERROR.
what can i do??
Even if it were possible to change the MAC address, which can be done for your laptop, your employer obviously has a reason for not having the WiFi open to all who have the WEP/WPA key and circumventing this may well not be looked on favourably. Best suggestion is to register your PDA with the IT department so it works without hacking anything
yah
I do agree with deedee
Did someone find the solution to restore WLAN EEPROM?

I have almost the same problem...
I have flashed WM6.5 ROM, then decided to return to native WM5.0 ROM. In bootloader there was the same error.

But my device was flashed successfully. After that Wi-Fi was dead
Reflashing does not help... Wi-Fi is as cold as a key

WPA-PSK issue on windows ce 5.0

Hi All,
I'm now developing wifi miniport driver for windows ce 5.0. Now the driver works, and I can connect to AP which configured Open-System + no encryption or Open-System + WEP encryption. But when trying to connect to WPA-PSK + TKIP encryption, always failed. I use the netui provided by MS to configure wifi setting.
So I check the driver code, and found that when connecting, the association is successful, then AP send EAPOL-Key to start four-way handshake but the WZC didn't react, instead WZC send EAPOL-Start to start 802.1X authentication. (Which I think only used for WPA, not WPA-PSK). So AP think the something wrong with the device and failed the connecton.
I deeply check the netui code, found when select WPA-PSK, the enable 802.1X authentication check box is forced to be checked. So I modify the code, set it as unchecked, and it turns to be WZC don't send EAPOL-Start but still no reaction to EAPOL-Key.
I think netui only configure this struct to setting WZC about WPA-PSK:
typedef struct _WZC_EAPOL_PARAMS
{
BOOL bEnable8021x;
DWORD dwEapFlags;
DWORD dwEapType;
DWORD dwAuthDataLen;
BYTE *pbAuthData; // Pointer to provider specific config blob
} WZC_EAPOL_PARAMS, *PWZC_EAPOL_PARAMS;
I tried many kinds of settings but still not work.
Does anyone know something about this and could give some information? Thanks!

Problem to log on a specific wifi network

Hi everybody! I've searched for a problem like mine here but I didn't find it, so I'm openning a new thread. I hope it's ok to do that!
I'm having some trouble trying to connect to the wifi network at the hospital I work. I tried to follow the intructions they gave, but these instructions are for desktop computers and notebooks and they have steps that I don't know how to follow in my blackstone. The instructions are the following (for windows XP):
-add a new network with the name: wifiuel
-choose WPA2 autentication
-choose AES cryptography
-choose PEAP access, go to properties and uncheck all options. Also, at autentication method EAP-MSCHAPv2, click on configure and uncheck the option to use the logon's name and password automaticly.
There are a few more steps, but from this last one I can´t go on. When I tap on the properties buton on my blackstone, I get the following warning: "Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you."
In case you just didn't understand the steps because of my poor english, here´s a link to them, but this link is for the windows vista configuration (I chose it because it is mainly in english and it has many screenshots, so I think all of you can understand it): http://www.uel.br/ati/suporte/pages/configuracao-wifi-uel/windows-vista-us.php
Any ideas of how I can solve this problem?
I'm runnig Dutty's Leo Holy Grail R0 rom, with WM6.5 and I can log on just fine in other networks.
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi,
just trying to help u.
in your case, maybe you need some sort of certificate like you stated above. Go ask your IT service/help desk on where you can get one.
Or maybe you need to register your device (WLAN Mac address or you need to use fix IP). For this, you also need to ask help from your IT service to register your device to their list, so that u can connect to their wifi network.
Not much help, but u can try them
Oh, thanks, I was going to do that anyway, but I though someone here could help me or indicate some wifi utility that could handle those steps to configure my network.
Well, thanks for your attention!
Moved as not software release...
Hey, I've got some news
I have some new facts to tell you guys and see if you can help me. First, I discovered that when I just ignore the warning that I get when I click on properties, I get another message saying that the server certificate is issued by an unknown autority and it couldn't be validated. Then I finally talked to the support staff at the hospital and they said that they don't use any certificates at all. No personal nor server certificates are needed. So I guess that the problem is with Windows Mobile, which is asking for certificates when they're not needed.
Is there any way to command WM to not ask for a certificate when logging on a particular network, because I believe this could be the solution for my problem!
Thanks in advance!!!
