WiFiMAX - Networking

Hi.
I've just bought a HTC Touch, and Im trying to setup a WiFi spot with my WiFi dongle from my PSP. It's a 802.11g USB adapter. I've tryed numorus combinations, but my smartphone cant connect to the access point.
My network:
[internet (one IP)] -> Router (IP:192.168.2.1):
Rounter connection #1: My PS3 (IP:192.168.2.200)
Rounter connection #2: PC (IP:192.168.2.100):
- WiFi dongle connected to PC (IP: 192.168.2.150)
When I leave the IP settings to dynamic I get a network error, so I try to define IPs in the TCP/IP Protocol of the WiFi dongle:
IP address: 192.168.2.150
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.2.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.2.1
Alternate DNS server: blank
I've also tryed the DNS and Default gateway to my PC (192.167.2.100), but my Touch couldn't connect to the spot, although my PC recognizes my phone MAC address. I don't have any firewalls, antiviruses etc.
Any ideas?

DNS no server specified error on all wifi activity - HTC Wizard

i must have jacked something up. first i could not get a wifi connection at home, then i flashed the firmware on the device and asked it to use the mac to connect with static IP and now the pda browsers cannot get any DNS info
netfront states no dns server specified and wireless router log states DHCP Discover no response.
must be a setting somewhere i'm missing.
wireless laptop and wired pc working fine
you can really just use the ip of a known dns from the device too
all dns servers should respond from all devices asking for the ip given the hostname
setup
cable modem to wired linksys router (DHCP on) - DI-524 wireless router connected to wired router (DHCP on)
when you say 'known IP from device' you mean the wireless router? Do you mean have the wireless router give the PDA my ISP's DNS IP?
if so what happens to my ability to browse the LAN since the devices IP is now out of the scope of my LAN
SORRY I THINK I MEAN the error is
<< DNS Discovery no repsonse. >>>
basically no DNS server found when browsing with the PDA when connected to WLAN.
PDA is ok browsing when I connect to work routers. I'm getting IP ok from home wireless dlink router but router cannot give the PDA a DNS server.
ps- wireless laptop ok for DNS connecting to the same wireless router so i'm thinking the firmware update made the dlink not like the PDA
update- i think it's the device and a setting.
now i cannot get to the internet through netfront or ie at work connected to wifi router. same error
DNS no server is specified
can get anything by IP, is wm5 wifi challenged for internet access?
any takers?

Help me to setup wlan enabled adsl modem. [ Solved ]

Hello,
Yesterday I got a wlan/wifi enabled adsl modem/router for my broadband connection which uses telephone line. I wanted to use the wifi output given by the modem, for my ppc in my home for internet. Something like wireless home networking. As this is the first time, I don't know or I'm a noob. The security settings in modem are :
Network Authentication: Open
WEP Encryption: disabled
When I search wifi signal, My ppc detects the modem; Says connecting and after few mins says unavailable so it don't connects.
Here is the manual : Link
Please help................
Solved : The modem was setted to "Bridging" ( Manual Connecting ) and after setting it to "PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)" ( Auto connect ), The internet in my ppc is working fabulous.
Thanks and regards
Ok, now my PPC says connected. When I assigned ip in network adapters->wlan setting ( SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter ).
But another problem here, Cannot use the net. Mean, IE or weather report or IM don't connect to internet.
Is there any MAC filtering set on the box? Are you getting a genuine IP lease, or is it a Windows auto-configured setting (169.254.x.x)?
Just looked at the manual - other things to check:
Is NAT (page 48) enabled?
Is DHCP Server (page 55) enabled on the box with correct IP range, subnet mask and gateway IP?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
First, It was auto configured IP setting so in my ppc it was not connecting but after assigning the IP ( IP : 192.168.1.2, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Gateway : 192.168.1.1 ) the ppc says connected.
OK, I will checkout that NAT and DHCP.
Thanks again.
Hey buddy,
This is right down my alley, if you still need some assistance just pm me.

Trouble setting a Wi-Fi network between my PC and my phone in order to share iternet

In the past I would successfully set an Wi-Fi ad-hoc network between my PC (WinXP) and my phone (WM 6.1, Omnia) and shared my PC's internet connection to the phone. The PC used to get an IP 192.168.0.1 and in 20-30 seconds phone used to get an IP in the range 192.168.0.x and the phone successfully received internet from the PC's shared LAN connection. Both the PC and the device were configured to automatic IP address.
But sometimes (like now) I decide to change the wireless network connection's IP to Automatic (because I like automatic settings) and both PC and phone get IP in the range 169.254.x.x (after long waiting) and the phone doesn't have internet. If I manually change the Wireless Network Connection's IP (on the PC side) to 192.168.0.1, then the device gets the right IP (in the range 192.168.0.x) and everything is fine; it has internet.
The question is why when devices are set to automatic IP addresses they do not get the right ones - 192.168.0.x and the phone doesn't have internet.
EDIT: Ok, today I solved my problem. I found out that re-disabling and again re-enabling the internet connection sharing on the broadband LAN changes the IP setting of the wireless network connection from automatic to manual and sets manual IP 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and everything is fine. So if I change the wireless network connection's IP to automatic obviously I won't have internet and I either have to change it back to manual and enter 192.168.0.1 and subent 255.255.255.0 OR I have to re-disable and then re-enable internet connection sharing and this changes the wi-fi's IP to manual and sets it to (again) 192.168.0.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0

Running a d-link range extender with Streak

With a theory of more is better tried to improve my signal strenth on my Streak and laptop using a d-link router and range extender.
1: Disconnect from your wifi connection with your laptop/pc, turn off streak.
2: On pc navigate go start > show all connections and right click on the ethernet adapter, double click on TCP/IP properties and choose "use the following IP' then enter the following:
IP Address: 192.168.0.29
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
Then click OK.
E. Now plug the ethernet cable into your extender and laptop/pc.
F. Now open browser and type http://192.168.0.30 and follow the wizards instructions.
G. Once the setup is complete you will get a warning 'network cable is unplugged' unplug the Ethernet cable!! refresh site survey of your wireless card on your pc.
You should now have a recognisable better signal.
Turn on your Streak and connect to the internet as you did before you should have a noticebly better signal, i now have full signal strenth at over 110ft.

Cannot Set Static IP Over USB-C Ethernet Adapter

When attempting to set up a static IP, via a cable connection, even after the fields are filled out, the option to save is greyed out. The fields are slightly different from the wifi static IP options. The connection is working with DHCP. The options are:
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.0.166
NETMASK: 24
DNS: 208.67.222.222
DEFAULT ROUTER: 192.168.0.1
So already you can see its odd compared to the more standard wifi options -only 1 nameserver can be used? These settings work no problems for wifi - but wifi settings also have the subnet mask and two nameservers.
Is it something I'm doing wrong? I've not used ethernet on a phone before. Otherwise, I'll report it to Samsung.
