Hello
have anyone an idea how to get acsess to internet through wpa-psk protected network? My problem is selected "Use IEEE 802.1x network".
Best regards
Hey guys, I've been lurking for a few months now and have been able to figure out all my questions with the almighty search, but this is one that I'm having issues with.
I picked up the AT&T Fuze a couple weeks ago, and immediately flashed it to ROMeOS 1.40. Everything is working great, except I am having problems connecting to my schools wireless network.
The campus uses 802.1x and WPA. On desktop and laptop machines connected to the network, they require the use of Cisco Clean Access.
Here is the link to the ITS (Information Technology Services) page that covers smartphones, PDAs, etc...not very detailed is it? http://its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=327
I'm trying to connect with the following settings:
Best performance power mode
Network Name: TrumanSecureWireless
Connects to: The Internet
Authentication: WPA
Data Encryption: AES
Checked "The key is automatically provided"
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control
EAP Type: PEAP
When I try to connect to the network, the device says "Connecting", but eventually quits and just goes back to "Available" Shouldn't it prompt me for my network user ID and password at least?
iPhones and iPod Touches are able to connect to the network (http://its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=331&audienceId=), so I figure my superior WM6 device should be able to as well.
For what it's worth, I have tried the registry tweak listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-284534.html with no luck.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!
Hi
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA Vario III. I would like to be able to connect to my home network via the wifi/wlan (what's the difference).
On my router I use WPA/WPA2 with PSK authentication - not 802.1x.
I ave never been able to configure the VIII to connect, it always wants use this 802.1x thing and it's greyed out.
Is there some way of getting rid of it? If I use open network it connects ok.
Please help I am heading for a breakdown!
thanks
Mike
I think you are missing how these things work.....
WPA is either PSK or Enterprise - PSK you enter a key (Pre-Shared-Key), Enterprise the key is dynamically assigned. This is the same for WPA2. The reason it is greyed out when you select WPA or WPA2 is it isn't an option, with WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK a manual key is mandatory.
If you use WPA or WPA2 (Enterprise) then you MUST have a centralised Authentication mechanism in place (RADIUS).
Does this help?

Ummm... not really, sorry.
I've attached a couple of screen shots if that helps.
On my router (it's a Belkin) the ieee 802.1x is off when I select wpa2 and psk (i don't have anything for tkip, and have no idea about what the other settings mean when it's not psk).
It seems incredibly complicated this wifi caper. I've never manged to get to connect to any other network except mine with no security.

No, the reason the options on the 802.1x page are not available is because they don't apply when using Pre-Shared-Keys.
TKIP & AES are the encryption methods used, WPA/WPA2 is the authentication method, they are independant of each other but reliant on each other as part of the standard. i.e. if you want to use WPA-PSK authentication then you have to use TKIP or AES encryption.
I am still confused over your question? I have a HTC Kaiser and it is configured to access multiple networks - one uses WPA2-Enterprise/AES, a couple use WPA-PSK/TKIP, another one uses WPA2-PSK/AES and a few are just Open with no encryption. They all work though.....

OK, let's approach it a different way round then. How do I configure my VIII to connect to my router, using a secure method?
Thanks

On your Wireless router or Access Point you enable WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK for your WiFi network (SSID) and enter a Pre-Shared-Key, depending on the device you may or may not get options for the Encryption type, if you do it will either be TKIP or AES. My access point allows me to use either, however older equipment may only support TKIP, even older equipment may only support WPA-PSK as well and not WPA2-PSK.
Lets pretend you use the WiFi SSID 'MY-WIRELESS' and use WPA-PSK Authentication with TKIP Encryption and a PSK of 'My-H0m3-W1F1'. Lets also assume you aren't making this a hidden network (Broadcast SSID).
On you VIII device you then enable the WiFi (or Wireless its the same thing) when you see the 'MY-WIRELESS' SSID you select it which should open the 1st page of the configuration. Select 'Connects to: The Internet' and click next, then select 'Authentication: WPA-PSK' and 'Data Encryption: TKIP' and enter ''My-H0m3-W1F1' in the 'Network key:' box. Click next, ignore the next page and click finish. That's it.

That's it! Just like that. I don't believe it.
Thanks muchly!
The Belkin router uses wpa or wpa2 and aes( according to belkin site). Authentication is via 802.1x or PSK, not both.
I did have the VIII set for tkip originally, and wpa2-psk. Set at WPA-psk aes and it went straight on.
Thanks so much Andy. Ur a diamond.
my universal now is running Tomal's v10 rom, all goes well, but when I'm trying to connect to my wifi lan, it's discovered by my device as available but never connects.
my wifi lan is hidden (this isn't a problem for my other devices), I allow the universal mac tol connect to the land and I've asigned an specific ip direction inside my lan (as on my other devices)
I've configured my universal as my hermes: network name, as a hidden network, authentication wpa_psk, data encryption tkip, network key ok, use ieee 802.1x network access control marked, and eap type smart card or certificate
I don't know what else to do
Please, I would appreciate some help, dudes
Hi all,
At my work we have a WiFi network with the following settings:
WPA2
PSK Auth
TKIP
WEP-104
The problem is, I can't connect with my HTC Tattoo. It shows the network as WEP and not as WPA2. My home network has WPA2 and I can connect to that one.
Does anyone have an idea to get this to work on my Tattoo? Or is there any update or app to solve this problem?
Many thanks!
