Hello everybody,
I live and work in densely congested WiFi areas. So whenever I switch on my WiFi connection to use it, I keep getting bombarded with the message "multiple networks detected" which i then have to hide only to be hit with another five seconds later. It is seriously annoying and makes anything I have to do over WiFi very painful.
I have discovered PocketWinc which is a serious improvement on navigating WiFi networks. I would love to simply use PocketWinc as my network selection and disable any of the in-built capability. Does anyone know how to stop the built-in software from scanning and reporting new networks? Is there a registry setting to disable the automatic scan or at least to stop the dreaded popups???
Any help greatly appreciated. Thx. Ian
I am not 100% sure about this but check your registry under :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WLan\StringTable
Check the value of the item called "Recover WiFi".
If it is not set to 0, try setting it to zero.
Is this anygood?

I think that application just does what I specified above.
It can also completely diable WZC Wireless if you want to use another program to manage your wireless connection.

I just checked and I don't have a WLAN service shown under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services. In fact I checked through the whole registry and I couldn't find anything resembling something WiFi ' ish. That said I am new to the PPC registry.
P.S. I am on Windows Mobile 2003SE if that makes any difference.
Anyone know what registry setting I change in WM2003SE to disable the WZC since I don't seem to have the one mentioned above? Or can anyone confirm that WZCDisabler will work on WM2003SE?
Thanks again!
Ian.
I am also on Windows Mobile 2003 SE on a BlueAngel.
What device do you have ?
I am surpirsed you don't have this setting.
It is likely that the WZCDisabler will work but it disables ALL of WZC, not just the popups.

Its an HTC Magician using a SanDisk 256Mb+WiFi SD Card. Here are the registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTAGSVC]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CallerID]

BTW, I don't mind disabling WZC alltogether as I believe PocketWINC gives me the equivelant.

It's possible that your don't have WLan setting because you are using this SD WiFi card.
Did the card come with any drivers or utilities to install for managing wireless connections ? It could be this rather than WZC that is creating the popups.
I have a major issue with my college WiFi network, I can join from every OS, but not from WM (even Symbian can do it!)
My university uses a certificate-based wpa-tkip, I have installed the certificate on my Touch Pro, but I can't login...
More details can be found @

http://www.asi.polimi.it/rete/wifi/istruzioni/Istruzioni WiFi Linux v1.0.pdf
The language of the guides is Italian, but the images and the scripts are in english, I hope you can help me out with this issue *__*
I even installed Secure2W, but it seem to not work...
SOLUTION @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2815200&postcount=15
Anyone?
I can't really find a solution ç__ç
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?
Fulcrum.
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.

Ok, I'm gonna try tomorrow morning and I'll report back asap.
Thanks
Thank you, I'm going to try tomorrow too
I hope to reply a success from my Raphael!
Uhhhmm, tried today and nothing happened...
Sometimes it doesn't connect ad sometimes it asks for User+Domain

Sorry to hear that - it worked for me and others - sorry.
Can anyone else help this guy???

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?
Same on My Rhodium TP2
My University settings are:
SSID: 4csuuseonly (visible)
Security: WEP-enterprise
Encription: TKIP
cert: PEAP
than i have to put Username and Password; but i could never get to that step.
It did worked couple of time for me,
What I did was I created a LEAP in wifi settings with SSID, USERID and PassWord
then I enter the SERVER ,ID n Password Under "Enroll" tab in wifi settings
It did work few times; I don't know if that may help
We all Need a Solid Solution
Edit: I tried SecureW2 software to connect , Played with the software for two days. Did the reg hack, didn't help either.
Finally I uninstalled the secureW2, and guess what after the soft Reset, when i hit connect it did ask me Id and Pass.
And Now it connects within two seconds every time I go to school.
Couldn't really figure out How did it worked
please help i can not connect
i select WPA -> AES
then PEAP
i need to click PEAP Properties and select Server Certificate and check GTE CyberTrust Global Root
but when i click Properties it says
"Can not log on to the wireless network. this requires a personal certificate to positively identify you"
i changed Wifi from Best battery to Best Performance hoping it will show me Properties, but doesnt show still
i read these posts, would these solve?
"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."
another post
"i created the dword value you mention in this thread i still have the same problem.
Does anyones has the same problem with wm6?"
another post
"Now after days of reading i found a solution for all the devices that couldnt connect with the modified reg-key(HKLM/COMM/EAP/EXT....ValidateServerCert) to a wpa and eap-mschap secured wlan.
To enable the eap-options you have to install the securew2 client. Once you had installed you can choose for authentication method one of the securew2 has provided(this is where you see PEAP and 802.1X) in the WLAN Connections. Just select the TTLS method and disable the outer authentication and the certificate validation in the options. Now you can select EAP and MS-chapv2 in the authentication tab of the securew2 client. and at least you can sign in here your name,password and domain. You can also set an Profile with your settings in the Securew2 client.
This Solution has worked for me on a HTC Touch Cruise(XDA-Orbit-2)."
here are my registry settings
HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\wu-dot1x\EapTypeId 25
HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\wu-dot1x\Enable8021x 1
HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\
...EapTypeId 25
...Enable8021x 1
...ValidateServerCert 0
\HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\26\
...ValidateServerCert 0
also added
ValidateServerCert 0 and tried 1
but didnt solve
I've seen this problem and have done all the registry mods mentioned above.
Some days it works, some days it does not.
We're using WPA with TKIP and PEAP.
I don't know how to enable logging to see where things are going wrong.
The symptom I get is this:
1) Add the network to ID "Configure Wireless Networks" list
2) Setup the properties as above (WPA, TKIP, PEAP)
3) Choose Connect
--> At first I get Connecting then I get Unavailable
If anyone has a fix for this I'd love to hear it.
I'm currently not even getting the login screen.
Could you solve the "personal certificate" issue?
I'm having the same problem!
Thks
Personal certificate
I've not gotten around the personal certificate issue though I think it's a red-herring.
Rumor has it that MicroSoft will be pushing out a fix for ExchangeServer in December 2008. I've not searched around to verify this.
When the exchange server fix is out, I'll upgrade my ROM to Wm6.1 (SNN Diamond) - this has been great for connecting in the past and I expect it will work fine again.
i have the same problem
After a year, still no fix ??
i have this problem too.. can anybody help? :s
me too i have problems with 8.2.1x devices.

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to configure my TomTom GPS unit to use the Telus network in order to use TomTom Services. Unfortunately, the TomTom won't read the network settings from my phone and asks me to fill them out manually and I have no idea what they are.
Does anyone know the following info for the Telus network?
Access Point Name
Username
Password
DHCP (auto/manual)
DNS (auto/manual)
Login Script (if necessary)
Thanks in advance!
been waiting a while hunh?
Hi,
Does anyone know if i can point both "My ISP" and "My Work Network" to the same connection.
Ive done a query on CM_GPRSentries and i have alterd the xml but i cant get it to work. I want the connection to have two DestID´s and that doesnt seem possible.
Also ive been faffin about in the "Connection settings" but its a no go.
Anyone got any pointers???
I hope im clear enough for someone.
thanx in advance.
Don't think it's possible, you can do it other way round though, if there's any value for you in this. E.g. set up the same connection (e.g. My Work Network) as preferred both for programs that connect to Internet and programs that connect to your workplace. Not sure what exact steps are required to set this up via XML provisioning though.
