WiFi card in xdaII......
I have installed a sandisk wifi card in the xdaii and it detects hot spots ok but when i try to open a page in IE comes up page not found. I have the network card settings to "this card connects to the internet etc" and i think i'm doing everything ok. surely not all the hotspots in manchester uk can be locked can they?? are we really a nation of paranoid people?? I don't want to crash networks just get me a free fast connection in St Ann's Square whilst I'm having lunch!!
any ideas.
well if i had a wireless lan and a connection to the internet i surely would have a firewall aswell
suppose the easiest way to find out where your issue is, is if you have a wireless lan at home which you can test the connection with
read a review which say that the sandisk card works ok with the xda2
The SanDisk WiFi card works for sure. I'm writing this with it.
Check the network settings under Settings->Connections->Network->Extended->Networkcard->Wireless. You may have to manually select and enable the network.

I have just enquired of Expansys UK if the Sandisk WiFi SD Card will work with the XDA II and they said NO, it has problems???? As I can't find another WiFi D card anywhere, it leaves me a little frustrated. Particularly as it seems it (XDA II) doesn't work with Tom Tom Navigator 11 Bluetooth either, which was my next purchase! If a few people can CONFIRM that the XDA 11 does actually work with the Sandisk WiFi Card, I'll risk buying one, as I need WiFi. Many thanks Steve
Not being to rude here, however Expansys told you crap.. I'm using one here which was purchased from Expansys. Albeit a little difficult to set up I'm online with my own home wireless Network.
There is another WiFi card available in the market, saw it in an interview with XDA sales people, it's from Socket. Got a review here.

work for me
sundisk worked for me right from the box. no driver to install.
just entered my home wlan wep password and got connected.
The original person asking about it: if a network need a key,
it can often show up as "active" but in IE will simply won't load anything...

Hi there, thanks for your response. I access the Internet via a Broadband connection through a Wireless Router in my Office and wish to use the XDA II around the office on occasion (with a working WiFi SD Card installed). Have you used your WiFi card in similar circumstances? I am cautious because Bluetooth Car Kit doesn't work, Bluetooth GPS doesn't work at the moment (appreciate this is not WiFi) but trying to buy something this time around THAT DOES WORK with the XDA II. many thanks Steve
Your impression regarding the XDA II is wrong.
Thanks to TOWA Bluetooth GPS does work. Its just that Microsoft is trying to impose a different Bluetooth architecture than that HP has been using with the IPAQ (they've done it before and they'll do it again). :wink:
As I said above, I've been using the SanDisk WiFi-card on my XDA II since day 1 when I got the device. I've used in at home with my wireless router, in the office through an access point and in the hotspot at Starbucks.
Only problems I've had sofar were in one network that was using a D-Link access point, where I couldn't get in - on the other hand also my PC had problems with this network).
When you insert the card that LED on it should start flashing. If it doesn't turn solid green(yellow) after a few minutes, the network is not connecting. You can check this through the applet on the task bar (Wireless network status). If it says searching it hasn't found or connected to your network. In this case go to Settings->Connections-->Connections->Extended->Networkcard. Ith should list the available networks. Select your network and select Connect on the options popup-menu. If you have encryption enabled it will ask you for the paramters (I've had to got through this procedure a couple of times when I put in a wrong code on the initial setup).
If the LED is solid green then you have connected to the network. If PIE doesn't work check the IP-settings again using that applet on the task bar (Wireless Network Status).
ANd I'm sure that Bluetooth Car Kit will be working soon also. But then again, the XDA doesn't have (andd never promised) Voice Dialing anyway. :?
Quote ex tbd.immigrantsong.de "Your impression regarding the XDA II is wrong."
Thanks for this. I am really pleased with my XDA II. I guess I wanted to install Bluetooth GPS and Handsfree Bluetooth in my car and then found that my chosen purchases the Tom Tom Navigator 2 Bluetooth GPS and the Parrot CK3000 Handsfree Car kit don't currently work with the XDA II Bluetooth. I understand that Tom Tom/O2 etc are working on it.
A colleague has since told me that I wouldn't get BOTH devices working together in my car at the same time anyway. i.e. I could have a Bluetooth Car Kit or a Bluetooth GPS but not have the 2 devices working together? Do you know if this is correct? I appreciate your help on this.
My Wireless Network/Broadband router is the Netgear 824M 802.11B and this is what I wish to use in conjunction with SD WIFI Card in my XDA II.
When I tried to order from Expansys and told them it eas for use with an O2 XDA II they said "It will not work" so you can see my predicament. £100+ purchase then possible not work, and they have pre-warned me, so a refund would be looking iffy?

I don´t know what Expansys UK says about the SanDisk WiFI, I have bought one for 3 weeks ago using with the XDA II without any problem , just works.
I´m using too TomTom with a SatNav Bluetooth GPS and a BT headset.
Of couse I use Towas bluetooth patch.

Steve,
If you read this thread, you'll discover that someone called Towa has fixed the Bluetooth problem, so you should be fine once you've applied his patch. Here's a quote from that thread of someone who can answer your question about simultaneous Bluetooth connections:

Hi guy's ,
I have make all this connected at the same time!:
1) ActiveSync via Bluetooth running and syncronising,
2) EMTAC bluetooth GPS connected and sending datas
3)HBH20 connected and a phone call established !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So there you have it!
I have the same problem as Xdaer, I've received advice off-forum from various people (thanks Faisal, tbd and others) but I still can't browse my broadband connection. All I keep getting is that 'this page cannot be found' :evil:
Can anyone who has successfully done this please just post the settings they have at their 'network card' settings?
BTW, I understand that its currently impossible to activesync via wifi, can anyone confirm/deny this?
@andygarside
I use to active sync via wifi.
I´m using a Sandisk SD wifi card. XDA II.
I have at home a D-link 614+ with the firmware upgrade (D-link)
It just works.
When I travell and try to connect to some hot spots that are password protected, then I get the messange can´t load the page.
But will normal unprocteded spots no problems. Okey in same airports you have to pay to access the AP but thats another story.

Under connections->Advanced->Network card-> wireless tab, you should see your signal labeled 'available' or connected.
The networks to access is 'all available'
and check 'automatically connect to non-preferred networks'
in the network adapters tab, you should
my network connects to (work or internet) - works with both for me, but each time it reverts to work, even if i save internet..
see the San DisK Wifi card, clicking on it should give you
the ip address screen on one tab and the name server in another tab. in my case i have to specify the ip, the subnet and the default gateway (rather than server assigned), and the name server
Then under connections->select networks-> 'programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: here i have the name of the network which you configured above.
this should be easily visible from the connections->tasks tab and you can now set the proxy from here - usually with port 8080.
I hope this helps - let me know if it works and do ask again if i am missing out something here..
get a connection but no luck surfing!
hi every1,
iv followed d instructions etc but no luck browsing however i get a padlock icon in the corner with a red slash across it - what does that mean?
thanks in advance!
Please don't flame...
But i've just got an xdaII... i've set up wireless all over the house and was told the xda supports wifi... you lot are talking about a wifi attachment... does that mean i can't use the xdaII on my wirless netwrok without the sandisk modem?
Thanks

you're correct. the XDA II doesnt have builtin WiFi, you need
a small attachment "sandisk wifi card". search for it via google.
Faisal, followed your instructions to the letter and....... it works!! Thanks ever so much, I'm really grateful!
Now, last question, can I activesync via WiFi?
Thanks again.....
Andy.
andygarside
Great to hear that it worked and i am delighted to have been of help.
I have not tried synching via Wi-Fi - so i have no idea. Do let me know if you get it to work.
One can obviously access an email account, though i have not been able to access my mail on the exchange server via WiFi for some reason but i suspect it is a configuration issue that i have not sorted so far
:wink:

Hi there!
I have an Eircom broadband connection for my PC using a Netopia wireless router.
I bought a Sandisk SD Wi-Fi adaptor for my XDA and installed it's software from the little CD. (It's not the one with 256MB)
However my XDA doesn't find an access point.
I'm sorry for being such a newbie, and I did search for old posts to no avail.
Naturally I'd like to be able to use my broadband wireless to surf on my XDA II and activesync etc but I haven't a clue about 'mating' them!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
Conor (Ireland)
I saw an article where it was being used with pocketlan on an xda 2, also saw other articles where it works ok in that combination.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=2825&associateid=148
Still lost!
Hi
Thanks for that!
However, I installed it but then got bamboozled again. I just didn't know what to do with it!! It doesn't link automatically - there's talk of addresses, pings and such which is all Greek to me!
Does anyone know a step by step account of linking XDA by wi-fi to a home wi-fi router?
Thanks for reading this!
Conor
Fool's guide to connecting XDA II to home Wi-Fi??
I'm still at sea on this - please forgive me putting out another call for help here.
I have the SD Sandisk adapter (not the one with 256MB storage) and I have a home wireless router for my laptop.
I installed the software but need a detailed talk-through or step-by-step guide to get my XDA II connected.
Has anyone the time, talent and inclination?
Best regards to all!
Conor
got a safecom sdio wireless Lan card, but xda 2 don't recognize it, putting in card does nothing, do i need sdio now software? if so where on earth do you get it?
thanks
im afiraid to tell you i had no end of trouble getting my safecom wifi card to work on an XDA II
you can get the drivers from here:
http://www.safecom.cn/code/support/DMF.aspx?pid=323
v1 drivers are supposedly the bets ones but as i said mine would connect disconnect etc then not find any networks
In the end i got pissed off and bought a Spectec b&g which works great on an XDA II
Hi,
i've read several articles about this around here, but nothing seemed to work.
I have a notbook with an external umts-modem (huawei e220) and want to share this internetconnection with my t-mobile mda vario aka htc wizard (original t-mobile rom installed) via wlan. I am using win vista home premium. The connectionsharing via usb/mobile device center/activesync works fine.
So does anybody know, how to share this connection via wlan?
Thanks in advance!
