Hi All, i got a problem here with my Dopod 818 pro, my company here are using Apple Air Port Extreme Wifi system, i manage to scan the Wifi hotspot but when i try to connect, i can't... It will trying to connect for about 3 minutes, after that a error message apper :"Pocket PC Networking - Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network setting." how to fix this problem ah? help me please...http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Are you sure they're using DCHP? If they're using Static IP, you'll need to set up the IP by yourself.
Actually it may be an AES issue
The thing is that the apple airports are only compatible with AES encryption when using WPA/WPA2. they will not do TKIP. So if you have WPA/WPA2 encryption enabled on the router it will not connect without a compatible wifi setup on your device. (Im not sure which all work but i was able to connect, ironically, with the iprophet ROM) Try to find a rom with WPA2 support and make wure you are set to AES this will let you connect. Or you can (i dont recommend) disable the encryption on your airport device. Good luck hope this helps.

Im looking to get the Wifi working on my Vario at home. My current Access point wont connect due to T-mobile's lock out of the 802.11g.
So I can get a Access point that works, I thought it would be helpful to post up your Model with a Yes or No after you have tried all the different settings as posted on the forum e.g. different channels and mixed mode etc.
This is for g Locked Varios only please not ones with flashed ROMs.
Please keep it simple Model YES or NO.
Thanks
:wink:
To Start us off......
Inexq HR054g Access point (NO)
if your Wizard has b only (ROM issue, not hardware) then ANY router which is set to allow g only will fail to connect. yours "should" allow "b" devices to connect http://www.inexq.com/web1/images/product/spec/hr054g.htm
So maybe you have a setting that is allowing "g" only

Router is set to mixed mode, it can see the network but wont connect
Have you got MAC address filtering enabled on your router and forgotten....I did.
Also try changing WLan card settings on your XDA from Best battery to best performance..Make a lot of difference. and many have found theirs connects after this
All turned off any other options
I have a BT2100 wireless router and mini-s, sometimes it won't connect until I stop active sync running on the mini-s ???
3-Com OfficeConnect ADSL Firewall Wireless 11g Router (set to mixed)
Vario will only connect when router set to open access i.e. security disabled. Any other setting i.e. WAP, WEP causes the routers internal DHCP server to fail to send an IP address back to the Vario... or the Vario being unable to acknowledge the router?
Have got a couple more routers comming my way, will post them up when Ive had a chance to test them

I've seen this issue detailed elsewhere but I can't remember exactly where - apparently for some reason the 3com sends back an IP v6 address when security is enabled, which the Wizard can't use.
So far I've used a cheapie Origo wireless router (conexant chipset) and a Netgear D834G (in mixed mode), my Wizard seems happy with both.

Hi!
I do have problem to connect the device (o2 xda mini S) to WLAN. It recognizes the network, asks for the WPA-PSK key and then attempts to connect - but fails.
If I configure the device with a static IP this IP shows up during the
connection process after a while but the device isn't connected anyway.
If I use DHCP I get no IP ever.
I also tried a very simple 8 alphanum character key.
What may be wrong here?
I hope you get an answer soon, because I have the same problem. Enter the key, then no connect. I also tried it with security turned off on the router, no connect. This thing connected every time before 2.26 ROM update.
bump - having the same issue

Hope there's a reply; having the same issue but I think it's router specific too. I am on Dlink DI-614+ and a friend of mine who has DI-524 (i think) has no problem connecting reconnecting.
if you figure out a way to get it to work, please PM me... I have not figured out this problem yet.
I might try to disable all of my router settings (WEP).. but that would only mess my already configured other devices up.
Stupid question, but is it a B/G router or is it configured to only do one of them ?
Well, I got it to work by disabling encryption and leaving the AP all open...
So, apparently the software has some WPA-PSK-related bugs
Same thing with 2.24a Mr.Clean. Open AP works fine, and any encryption messes the whole thing up. The connection is done, it even gets the IP - and continues to blink arrows and no data comes through.
Windows Mobile only knows TKIP but as I was using AES and wanted to continue using AES on the other machines I configured the router to provide "TKIP and AES". Well, this didn't work but TKIP only actually works now.
I've been having the same problems, could connect to unsecured networks, no problems. The thing would just refuse to connect to my home WLAN (Belkin 54G set to B/G), secured with WPA-PSK and TKIP data encryption. However, just updated the router's firmware from the Belkin website, and BINGO!!!! It found the router, I entered the key and immediately connected, fast too. Just try updating the firmware of your router!
I agree on the router upgrades. And some routers are just crap, sorry to say. I've had bad luck with Belkins and Netgears. Linksys and D-Link typically give me much less problems. You also need to make sure that you installed the registry settings to enable G networks on you device (of course)
I have a Sonicwall using WPA-PSK with no problems.
I personally like molski's tweaks to make the necessary registry settings on my device ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58438
Hope I was of some help.
OK US Robotics MAXG router. All set up, laptops etc working fine. I got the mini s and the xda2i working on it too.
Then i went and stuck the security on it
WPA2 and WPA (PSK)
TKIP and AES
entered all the correct stuff on the computers and working ok.
with both the XDA's it says trying to connect but wont.
I ve looked in the distruction books for both 2i and mini s but they just say you might need to enter some password!!!
so mini s and xda 2i settings are
general tab
network name 'xxxxxxxxx'
connects to 'the internet'
network key tab
authentication 'wpa-psk'
data encryption 'tkip'
network key 'correct entry for my sys'
key index 'greyed out'
802.1x tab
nothing changeable but set to
use ieee 802.1x net access control
eap type 'smart card or cert
they both sit there saying my network is available but wont connect.
anyideas whats going on??

I recall a similiar problem some time ago and as far as I can remember I solved it by changing the encryption to WEP. It's worth a try.
Cheers.
Phil C
cheers.... dont want to go to WEP as its crackable in under 5mins by a novice now!!
Seems a bit silly that the XDA's have the apparent ability to do this encription but then won't work.
Pete
Is WEP really that hackable??
heres the info i found on it.

worth a read.
I'm using the exact same router with the same wireless security config. While other clients can connect to the router using WPA or WPA2 with TKIP or AES encryption, my TyTN simply refuses to connect.
After some intensive trial/error, I figured out the problem to be the TyTN itself, which simply can't get associated with the router when both TKIP and AES is selected on the router. Changing the WPA encryption to TKIP only while keeping both WPA and WPA2 authentication on the MAXg router solved the problem (no need to use the less secure WEP encryption).
Hope this helps.

cheers, i have been playing with my settings too. I found that i had to change to WPA and TKIP only to get he Mini s to connect but hte 2i still wont The only thing i really use the connection at home for is to transfer files if im on the laptop rather than having to go to my main puter and plugging it all in. Its a pain as i tend to use the PDA's at work for stuff. Ill just have to get off my ass n go up stairs and do it now. Its a pain and it should work but im learning that these things aint all they should be

You bet it is, Try backtrack 2.0 is self booting linux build for "testing network security"
I have a brand new wireless router; BELKIN N1 VISION.
I have set the security for this router as followed:
- Security Mode: WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
- Authentication: WPA-PSK +WPA2-PSK
- Encryption Technique: TKIP + AES
Unfortunately my Qtek 9100 (with WM5) does find my wireless connection, but it refuses to make a connection after input of the WPA-code.
I'd try setting the security to either WPA-PSK or WEP. Some older laptops and wireless cards have issues with WPA2 and that could be causing it. Anyways, I'm probably wrong, thought I'd just throw it out there.
or also that you have a MAC (Media Access Control) Binding enabled on he router as a security measure.
I had the same problem yesterday, figured it out by adding my Wizard in the Access Control Enabled list.
Then there was the problem of not connecting automatically which I fixed by enabing IEEE.
Did anyone get this fixed ? - I have also bought a Belkin N1 - not MAC Enabled, no security enabled (WAP et al) - I live on a farm so that's not an issue !. My Nokia N95 *M works well with this over WiFi however my K-Jam finds the Router but cannot connect, comes back as unavailable all the time. HELP PLEASE !!!
hey guess what
my ignorant ass has.. the same problem!
my linksys router (WRT54G) has both b and g broadcasting (mixed)
i use static ip addresses and i'm not seemingly capable of assigning a static ip address on the G3.. before i attempted to assign the IP on the wiz, it would draw the connecting icon and eventually come back with "unable to obtain ip address"
so i knew that i needed to assign the ip.. so i gave it my best shot (i was able to do this on the laptop) and now it doesn't complain about not getting an ip address, it just never stops drawing the connecting icon, never connects, and i'm (obviously) unable to connect to the net via wifi.
any ideas or help or will this be a thread that just slowly rots without one of the xda-developer gods stepping in and solving problems for us brainless members?
hey man if it was a Ford i'd fix it for ya..
Hi all,
i am new here
I have problem with my Xperia.
When i connect with my phone to unsecured Wifi network everything works fine.
But when the wifi network is secured (WPA2), i cann't access the internet. (IP address is assigned, but ping to the router is without answer)
I have allready trying to set the IP address manualy, but without any success.
Can somebady help me please?
Thanks

Is the WLAN-SSID hidden? That often makes trouble with devices like Phones, Radios, MP3-Players or something else. If so try to activate SSID-Broadcast (unhide SSID) and connect again.
What does your phone show in it's wireless settings (IP, Gateway, Subnet, Encryption etc)?
On my Cisco router I use WPA2-PSK Authenication with AES-CCM Encryption. The SSID id is hidden. No problems at all....
Is your router using MAC Address filtering??
This will also make it unresponsive to pinging if it is Enabled
and your x1 in not on the permitted list!
good Luck.
Stuart
hi,
now i use only MAC address filtering (without WPA2) and it works fine.
(SSID broadcast is enabled)
With activated security WPA2, MAC address filtering dissabled, SSID broadcast enable/disabled, it doesn't work
Tested with wifi router Belkin.
With HTC Diamond it works fine also with WPA2 secured network.(almost the same HW like the Xperia)
Tomorrow i will "play" a little bit with the router and phone settings.
It must works !!!
Note: i have observed the same problem/behaviour with nokia E66 (OS Symbian)
Hi,
Netgear Router.
WPA2 enabled.
MAC filtering on.
Broadcast Off.
Device added.
Browsing a doddle.
Des. . .
Deactivating the encryption nor use of wep is never a good idea.
Try to change to wpa-psk tkip.
I'm not sure what it could be, but there are some articles on the internet that WinMo phones (in general) have trouble using WPA or WPA2. WEP is apparently fine to use, but then again not secure.
I have a netgear, and using WPA/WPA2 (no MAC ACL) on my router with the Xperia doesn't work, but some of the other guys work fine
Try updating your Router Firmware (or making sure you have the latest firmware flashed to your Router) - this has been known to solve connection problems with new hardware e.g. Windows Mobile or PS3 or Wii.
