Hi Everybody!
For some reason, I can connect to the internet when my pda is pluged into my computer via usb, but I cannot connect to my wifi?
I use a netgear router and WEP.
PDA is running win v.5
Thanks for any replies?

When your PDA is plugged into the computer and active sync is active it will connect to the Internet using your computers connection rather than wifi. I'm not sure if there is a way to stop this, I would guess by stopping the PDA from automatically connecting to active sync on connection (I have seen threads about this around the place, I believe there is a tweak on the wizard wiki to help with this also..). Hope that answers your question.
Hi SYN and thanks for your reply!
Iunderstand now how I am gettin online, but I don't understand why I cannot connect via wifi?
I have added the Wizard to my acces list on my netgear router and I use a WEP for all machines.

So your difficulty lies when your NOT connected to the computer via usb.. Does the PDA see the wireless network? Have you tried the PDA with any other public wireless networks?
Hi Syn.
Yes it does see my WiFi.
Maybe as a newbie, I'm doing something wrong?
I haven't tried connecting to any other network as I can't see any others.
Maybe I wil try that 2morrow when I am in the city centre.

Have you added the WEP key to your PDA when you try and connect? When you try to connect it should provide a notification popup asking for the network key, this should be the hex WEP key, not the passphrase (the passphrase may work, but I've never had luck with using them.)..
Hullo again !
No, I didn't see that?
Is there a "THICK GUIDE TO SETTING UP TO YOUR HOME NETWORK"?

Then thats the issue , ok, *grabs his phone and checks where else you can input the wep key*..
Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Network Cards
This should bring up a menu with the title "Configure Wireless Networks" where you should see a list of already configured networks.. these will generally be networks you have connected too (or attempted to connect to) in the past.
If you click on the SSID of your home network, you will be taken to another menu.. hit the "Network Key" tab at the bottom and add your routers security settings here! Once this is done you should have no problems connecting to the network..
I am having a wifi problem as well. My wife's MDA can connect using the wifi, we're broadcasting in mixed right now, and she doesn't have the tweak for G. I have several things installed, and am running the custom 2.17 TMO usa rom.

now i know that some of these programs do allow G type access. but maybe it's something else. last night at an apple store their hotspot wouldn't work either. in the comm manager it'll say it's connecting, but after a few moments it'll just go back to saying available
Unfortunately I do not have the G tweak installed to test if I have similar issues. I would suggest reversing the G tweak and testing to see if you still have problems connecting to wifi networks, if not then clearly the tweak is causing the problems. To be honest I don't personally see the need in pushing from 11MB to 54MB due to the lack of traffic a PDA will use.
:?: :roll:
Totally thick here!
I see my home wifi and when I tap on it it says :
Network name :
Connects to :
() This is a device to device (ad-hoc) connection
Can't see but I don't see SSID?
I'm a plonker ain't I ? Go on say it :lol:

SSID is the Network name .. sorry technical term. Once you have clicked on your home network in the list, you should be able to follow the rest of the instructions without any problems. However, going to your other thread (the Rom update question) the instructions may differ for your rom version.. If so, it might be an idea to solve that problem first as a Rom update will erase all of this anyway ..
I think your right!
I don't have any option to input my hex key!
I called o2, but they will not let me download the new ROM as the phone is originally Tmobile!
Is there a ROM you can reccomend and then at least I might be able to input my hex key?
Thanks again

I'm not sure which would be the best rom for you as your phone is originally TMobile, I would suggest going into the "Wizard upgrading etc." forum and either asking or searching for threads made by TMobile users on the O2 network. You may find that the latest O2 XDA rom will work perfectly fine on your phone (I dont see why it wouldnt...) but I would double check with someone who knows more about the Wizard before doing anything.
All of the roms for the Wizard can be downloaded from the sites FTP which is in a sticked thread at the top of this forum .
Guys, am facing a very weird issue.
i have changed my wirless router from G to a new linksys N router, now my mobile fails to connect to the wirless, though the device sees the connection, once you hit connect-next - next the connection becomes unavailable.
i have searched here and there, and found out that there MIGHT be a cab or a registery fix, anyone can help???
am running TNT.SE
Router Settings
Have you checked the router settings and make sure that it is set up for A/G/N? I have a Linksys N gigabit router and there is an option for N only and other variants. See if that works.
Hi , thanks for your reply as i thought no one will answer me.
the option should be on as i am connected on my Notebook and its a G, same goes for my brother's iPhone, its connected.
i have tried giving an IP,it didnt work out, disabled security, also didnt work out, any other idea's? what Rom are u using?

You have got imate jasjam. I had same problem once with WM5 about an year and half ago. The solution was to do a hard reset to it. Please do back up your stuff before doing so.

Anyone?????????
No idea mate...
Been having the same problem and its P*£$ING me RIGHT OFF too!!!
I got a Buffalo WZR2-G300N Router and it dont wanna connect to it no-matter wat!!!
Do you have set:
An encryption key (WEP or WPA)?
MAC address filtering?
Also, is the router set to allow N/G/B/A (or whatever it supports)? Tried setting it to operate in G only mode?
Checked for firmware updates to the router and made sure you are using the latest?
Hi there every one...
I got my phone just couple days ago, and I'm really satisfied with every thing , Bluetooth, GPS, Speed, etc...
but I got very interesting problem with the WiFi..
It detects networks, but can't connect to them.. also I can't connect to my home Wirless network,
When I try to connect to any WiFi network, it tries to connect and then it marks the connection with red "x" with comment that the network is unavailable
when I tried to make an adhoc connection with my Laptop, it says that it is connected, and could ping my phone..
tried later to connect to my WiFi network after I disabled all kinds of protections and encryptions and after I enabled the protections again... no good
please help, because WiFi is extremely important feature that I need...
ROM: PDA = PHONE = i780DXHD1
I didn't flash the device, nor touched the ROM...
any help will be very very appreciated
thanx in advance
common guys...
no body experienced such problem?????
please I need your help...
Well... could a 3D party WiFi manager force it to connect ??
if it could... can you please recommend me one?
You havent said much as to exactly whats happening vs what you've tried. Have you tried connecting to your home network with encryption off?If it connects with security switched off, then try connecting with wep on,then switch to wpa.
Well.. I did every thing you said and nothing happened... even after a hard reset...
also what I've noticed is I can't ping my phone on each connection... =(
sometimes it connects and can be pinged....and sometimes not which drove me crazy already =(
do you have any ideas???
Same here, no solution.

how do you think??

Hi guys... Actually i faced this problem several days ago. I think this is a bug but im not sure since im not expert in this. My i780 can connect to some networks and can't for some. Here is a trick:
In the network device tab, edit the setting of your Samsung wifi card
Change to Use specific IP address:
IP 192.168.0.1
and that's all for now, leave other settings default
Now you can connect to the network but cannot use it. And somehow when you disconnect the connection, the Wifi in your Wireless Connection might disappear. Try to reset the phone and the Wifi is back.
Change the settings back to Use server-assigned IP and you can use the Wifi now. It really works. And now my i780 can connect to any network, lucky me
Ahh, forgot abt this... You can refer to this topic as well. Hope this help

MMS Settings for Samsung i600
Hi there
Is there anyone who can possibly help me with MTN mms settings for a Samsung i600, I have tried *123*12# and it doesnt work.... I am tearing my hair out!!!!
Hi all.
My qtek is not ok...
I used to have WM2003 2nd Edition. Very hard to set up my Wi-Fi connection... After some time, and all the possible configurations, I managed to access the internet using it...
On the next day or so... nothing...
Well, good reason to upgrade to WM6. Just finished, upgrade ok, I think.
Wi-Fi not much... Once again, my SSID cannout be found - just my neiboughors´s... Add it manually, after some tries with the "work" and "Internet" options, it worked...
I made a soft reset, and now cannot connect anymore... SSID appears as unavailable, and is impossible to connect to it... My laptop is working fine with the same router, same ssid, same everything
Tried to delete the connection and create new one several times, nops...
Is it normal that the network cards work sometimes, and then without any changes, stops working?
Thanks for your help
Definetely no. Try to adjust the router to broadcast in 802.11b only but I think that will not help, something is wrong with the network card I think...But you should try
BTW turning on the wifi on WM6/WM 6.1 is kind of strange, you have to enter in the comm manager, then settigns->wifi->turn on wifi, and finally to turn it on the comm manager. How did you turned it on?
yes mate, I also believe the problem is with the network card.
Is there any way I can test it?
Is there a way I can substitute it?
Or my best shot is buy one SD network card (that will use the only SD available...)
Have you tried to connect to other networks aside from yours? The reason I am asking is because you can see your neighbor's network, so it is weird that it would see yours randomly. Try with different networks before spending the money in a SD wifi card. Good luck.
Understood... kind of
hi guys
I tried the Simeonfilipov suggestion of adjusting the router to broadcast in 802.11b only and Wifi connects in no time...
Now I have slow wireless connection, but all devices can use it
Does anybody around have a D-Link DSL G624T router working fine with a Blue Angel integrated network card??
Can you publish or email me the specs to let me check mine?
Thank you all guys.
So the problem is not in the network card You have to have an option in the router menu to broadcast mixed signal - B an G, to use G on your laptop for example for faster connection, and B for the Blue Angel ? Good luck!
Hi guys I am having an anoying problem with my phone.
I connect my Wifi to and ad-hoc connections which works fine for all devices.
The connect is stable and almost 100% quality
The problem is that the phone doesn't have any data transfer, I can get online for but for only a few seconds like update Weather and open a page, then is like offline the Wifi stays connected.
I tried using both settings connects to internet and to work, I got the same problem.
Can please someone help, it must be a problem in the settings, I am new in WM phones
Have you checked if you need to put in a security code? Is signal strength ok? And sometimes you have to wait quite a while for the webpage to be downloaded.

I have WEP code inserted, the signal is very strong 90 to 100% I am really close to the source.
The pages open pretty fast but after some seconds it doesnt open anything neither Skype or Weather works but the connection stays on.
I even try static IP and still got the same issue, I wounder whats is the problem, Saturday I will connect it directly to router instead of an ad-hoc to see what the results may be.
I really need help with this... It is so anoying.
I do not understand, yesterday it worked all day, and today is not working only for a few seconds and the only thing I touch was trying to connect to a network in different place.
Does anyone have any idea? Any info could be useful
I think I just found problem. DNS It seems that the phone the last dns added. What I did now was to delete the dns numbers so the server may add it again. It is working again.

I'm sure your problem needs some helping, but you're posting in the wrong device forum for that. This is the Iolite section.
By the way, the original problem is solved already, so this is considered answered.
Closed.
