I got my 8525 almost 24 hours ago and I still haven't been able to connect to the internet. I have combed just about every thread on the net I could find on this subject and still haven't been able to use the wifi for even a second.
So far I've tried:
* removed media net
* removed my isp
* disabled proxy in proxy manager
* adjusted power save mode to best performance
* changed from dynamic ip's to static
* tried numerous kinds of router security (WEP, WPA, etc.)
* added DNS addresses to device
* disabled router security all together
* updated router firmware
At first all I could see on my device was the wireless network name...each time I clicked connect it just displayed "available". Eventually I managed to get it to connect to the network, but I still can't get a single web page to come through on internet explorer. Each time I punch in a website and hit enter, it just displays "Locating..." in the status bar, and eventually pops up with a message saying "This page cannot be found...".
PLEASE advise!!
* I'm running Windows XP/WM6, wireless router: Linksys WRT54G
setting->connections->connections->adavanced-select network
try setting both dropdownboxes to my network rather then
my isp or whatever yours are called
Thanks, but they're already set like that
sounds like a setting issue somewhere

good reads
you may have to clear the device to make sure that things / settings you changed or deleted which was required
dont cause issues
also as test you can see if you can get internet using activesync overbluetooth
if so you are 1 step closer to knowing where the issue is located
You may also want to try this out:
http://rapidshare.com/files/42598341/wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
The original link is here (kudos to wpbear for all his work) but there are a ton of links in that post. AT&T REALLY REALLY wants you to use their data plan so they include a hidden proxy. The cab above will install shortcuts to enable and disable the proxy.
You can use the search link in my sig line to search for 'hermes enable proxy', 'hermes diable proxy', 'hidden proxy', etc. if you're interested in the back story.
BTW, after you install the cab, you want to click the 'Disable Proxy' shortcut. That may have been abundantly clear to you already but just in case...
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm getting online through activesync, but not feeling any closer to the wifi working. I tried using Fitipaldi1's cab file, but it just says failed to install. Is it not the same thing as the "disable proxy" anyway? I also looked through the threads, but didn't find any solutions.
This is getting ridiculous. I paid a lot of money for this phone and I can't even get it to do what I need it to. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
What about updating the rom? Mine is 3.62.502.3
Try this ...
I'm using Schap's 4.31 ROMs and have to do nothing special (it's a wonderful ROM). I know that in Windows Mobile 6, our 8525's should be able to access 802.11g by default, but maybe your's is disabled.
I do not have a dataplan either, but access everything via WiFi. I know for a fact that I am accessing wireless routers @ work that are configured as "G Only" devices.
A last bit of advice is that you could check your LinkSys and see if it is configured as "G only" or Mixed Mode. Maybe as a test, you might want to change it to Mixed Mode and then see if it connects. If it does connect in Mixed Mode, then you need to change your Registry settings to connect to 802.11g's.
I hope this helps!

I'm using an XDA2 with the latest public ROM version from O2.
I have three GPRS connections that I use - the Internet, a work VPN, and WAP.
For day to day work I tend to use just the Internet and work VPN. Sometimes, however, I also use WAP.
Is there an easy way of connecting to WAP WITHOUT having to go into the connection manager and change my Internet settings from the Internet connection to the WAP connection?
Or, is there a better Connection Manager out there that can handle more than 2 connections?
Or, finally, is there a way to detect that a WAP connection is needed, and connect as required?
An alternative would be a program that allows you to, with the click of a button, select the two connections that you want to use (i.e. profile 1 is VPN and WAP and profile 2 is VPN and Internet).
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem.
Too many operations to change the connection!!!
Someone any ideas?
Same here .. Having the same issue ..
It is inefficient to change the connection through Conn Manager ..
Perhaps can we do it through registry change? i.e. create several registry files, and just click the one we need when we want to connect to certain profile ..
Tried to look through the registry setting for Conn Manager, but it is confusing, they are using so many {436EF144- ....}, {18AD9FBD- ..} thingy
Maybe some expert can help here?
Thanks
Back From The Grave!!!
I was wondering the same thing!
I hate to say it, but the iPhone does wifi much simpler than Windows Mobile -- just flick a software switch and you're on, no changing settings, and no changing back when you go offline.
It's over 10 taps in Windows Mobile to do the same thing! I know there just HAS to be a simpler way to do this!
you can make you life a easier if you create a shortcut of the remnet.exe (inside the windows directory) to the start menu folder
rename "shortcut to remnet" to "connections"
Hello,
i've been searching around the web for a definitive explanation of the communication settings (Wep, Wap, GPRS, Internet, ISP, Wlan, etc.) in WM2006.
I can usually fiddle my way through setting something up, that seems to work...but i never know exactly why or what i did!
Now that i've got the HTC tytnII with built in Wlan this has become even more complicated.
For example, sometimes when i have an active Wlan connection and am surfing the internet, the phone connection pops up and asks me to connect via GPRS (Wap or Wep).
This is something that i've been confused about for some time anyway: how doese the unit know which way it should connect to the internet when i start an application?
IN any case, i've now been searching for a definitive explanation of the various settings contained in WM6.
Is there somewhere a good explanation of how it all works, so that i can understand the various settings?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Same here, I'd also like to know the difference.
For example, right now I seem to be able to configure a specific network connection to use for my Gmail synchronization. However, this ranges from 'The Internet' to 'My Internet', and just don't forget 'Work'.
Having a more profound understanding of these 'networks' and how to properly configure them is vital in this day where devices can also connect to the net using USB/ActiveSync and Wifi.
Hi,
Being a mobile device, it gets used in many places, with many WiFi networks.
Setting the various networking parameters involves opening several different setup screens and (often) fiddling around with entering IP addresses, proxies, etc.
Does anyone know of a utility that allows the easy setting of DHCP vs fixed IP, maybe DNS servers and proxy vs no proxy? And, perhaps more importantly, a utility that both does this and remembers the settings for the various networks, allowing a rapid setup on the second and later connections?
Regards,
Geoff.
Sad but am replying to my own message.
Am I the only one that regularly connects to networks with different parameters?
Am still hopeful that someone will know of a utility to store network parameters and allow same to be set with one tap - or someone clever will make such a utility??
Hi Geoff,
No you're not the only one.
Have you found something yet? I could do with the same!
Michael
Here's another vote for such a utility, i'd love to be able to use mine at hoem and work without having to dig through several menus to get there.
What about a CAB install with different settings..
Same here mate. I am looking into XML cab files, that modify your network card settings eg DHCP \ Fixed IP and also changing over the Wireless network settings, eg SSID, WEP Keys etc.
Its easy enough to create a shortcut to a CAB file, and one that just changes a few registry settings operates very quickly.
Yes, its a manual workaround.
Yes a application that detects the loss of one WIFI and attempts you connect the others in your device and then configures the WLan card accordingly (DHCP\Fixed IP etc) would be very handy.
No - I haven't got very far yet, I took the idea from another thread where someone used it to RESTORE their WIFI settings after a cold-reset.

Help...
I have a HTC 3600 (handy as I'm posting in this forum ) and I have been trying to connect it to my work wireless setup. This is fairly locked down and has a hidden SSID and requires me to enter credentials (user name, password) to access the web. I can successfully connect to the Wi-Fi, I am issued with IP address etc but can't then take the next step to connect it to the web.
I have found an area to add a proxy with username and password - I do this but still nothing. One odd thing is that when I then go back to try editing the proxy settings 9 times out of 10 it has vanished and I have to create it again!!
This is causing much hair pulling!
Any direction/help in this would be great as I am now a little stuck.
I am on AX3L v3.0.9 build.
Cheers
Update
I have found out that if there are two settings in the connections summary - such as 'My Work Network' and in my case 'etisalat UAE' the proxy setting never gets lost. Is this a quirk, is there something that I am not understanding (I know the obv. answer to the last question is yes!)
This now brings me to my nest challenge which is how do you arrange these connections? What I mean is that if I am at work/home and have a wi-fi link active how do I get the device to pick this in preference to a GPRS connection which it should use at all other times? I have tried looking for some kind of guide so I can work through this my self but no luck so far..... if anyone knows of such a thing or can point me in the right direction then please reply to this.

Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???
If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...
OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.
This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?
i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.
still no update
no update ??
configfree from Toshiba
Dear,

I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?
From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.

Same issue here. This connection would be very useful, because the whole campus is covered by wifi and since I spend lots of hour there...
After installing the certificate, while attempting the connection, a further username+domain is required. That does't happen with a pc or a mac.
Some specs about the authentication:
- Auth: WPA
- Encr: TKIP
Certificate:
- Sha1 RSA @ 1024 bit
Did someone succeed in logging into similar networks?

Are you using Schaps Advanced config 3.2? If so then you need to make a couple of changes.

Do you mean enabling:
# Validate server certificate
# WPA authentication
???
No I mean setting:
Network -> WPA auth... from enabled to Disabled
And Wi-Fi delay after boot: 0
I could not connect - I changed these settings, rebooted and it resolve my problem.
I hope this works for you too.

Sorry for the bump, but I think I have found the issue.
When I try to connect to the network and configure the access wm tells me that there is no personal certificate, but I have installed the certificate.
But I noticed that the provider certificate is an Intermediate, not a personal certificate!
So I can't configure anything, nor connect!
There is something wrong with the certificate installation, why it is located in Intermediate and not in Personal?
EDIT: I've renewed my certificate, and now it's in the personal tab, the previous one was without the personal Key, this time must be it
It's a no-go ç__ç
If I choose PEAP autentication the phone locks up and needs a soft-reset when I try to connect
I've solved it!
Now I can successfully connect to the WiFi Area!
A tutorial is on the way
Here I am, sorry for the long delay.
I solved my problem following this procedure:
Install the certificate on your device (The certificate must have the user key emended)
You must edit this registry key: HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValdateServerCert change it to 0
Reboot your device
Now you can create your network settings, for my network I had to set:
Network name: The network SSID
This is a Hidden network: True
Autentication: WPA
Data Encryption: TKIP
EAP Type: PEAP (Select your certificate from the list)
That's it, now it should work, or at least it's working on my network
Hi!
u have a little typo in there: its HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert ... and unfortunately this solution does only prevent WM to check for a serverside Certificate but does NOT solve the bug with the configuraton - popup:
o When coming to the page where u can change the auth method from certificates to PEAP, then the popup will nag us. No chance to get into the peap config to set MsChap V2 for example. We *can* prevent the popup by renaming the key for the certificate method HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\13 to HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\130 for example (so the popup is elimanted because then peap has the lower number and is handled first) *but* its still impossible to get into that damn config...
*That* Problem seems to be unsolved so far.. :-(
One of my employees told that he managed to get into the network by simply pressing "ok" at this popup, closing the wizard and when connecting to the network the username / password (mschap v2) Dialogue came -> and he was online. But unfortunately this was un-reproduceable
Any hints highly appreciated (for getting into a secured network by mschapv2 on user/password basis)
Yeah, I'm having the same problem as well...
I tried to follow the intructions to log on the wireless network available at the hospital I work, but these instructions are for desktop computers and notebooks and they have steps that I can't accomplish 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."
I've tried to make the registry tweaks available in this post, but I still can't connect. The network manager says I´m connected but at the same time, the little locker icon is also shown in front of the network's name and I just can't access any website.
The real thing is, as licht77 said, I can get rid of the WM checks for a serverside Certificate but it does NOT solve the bug with the configuraton, as I still can't get into the peap config to set MsChap V2.
Can anybody help us?

then I enter the SERVER ,ID n Password Under "Enroll" tab in wifi settings
