Hi, Can anyone help me with the settings I need to connect my Wanadoo Livebox with my O2 XDA Exec using wifi??
I already connect with my laptop and my wife's ipaq but can't with the exec.
I have 128 bit wep enabled and have put the key successfully into the exec but all that happens is: "connecting" followed by "available"?
I can see the network fine and when I check the livebox config.....the mac address of the exec is there along with the other two devices, so it's mac associated.
At the moment I'm using:
Network Cards Tab:
Wireless Tab:
Shows my livebox with the alternating connecting/available message.
Clicking on the shown network (my livebox) brings up the settings:
General Tab:
Network name: shows the correct SSID for my livebox
Connects to: The Internet.
Network Key Tab:
Authentication: WPA-PSK (Although I've also tried this on "open").
Data Encryption: TKIP.
"The key is automatically provided" box is ghosted.
Network key: Correct wep key, tried in upper and lower case.
Key Index: Is ghosted but shows "1".
802.1x Tab:
All ghosted......
But shows a ticked box for "use IEEE 802.1x network access control".
EAP type: Smart Card or Certificate.
Back to previous menu:
Networks to access: All Available.
Network Adapters Tab:
My network card connects to: The Internet.
As for the list of adapters......I have changed nothing as I know nothing!!
The list is a mystery to me.....I thought there would be just one.....??
Wireless LAN Tab:
Main Tab:
Status: Scanning network...
SSID: Blank.
TX Rate: Auto.
Mode: Infrastructure.
Channel: Blank.
BSSID: Blank.
MAC: Contains the associated MAC addy.
IP: Blank.
Signal Quality: Blank.
Settings Tab: Untouched.
LEAP Tab:
SSID: Shows my livebox, correctly named.
Authentication Type: Open System
Here, I have input my wanadoo user name and password.
Authentication Type: Open System. ( I have tried this with "EAP" selected but it has made no difference).
I have tried changing most of these settings with no luck...... I 've also tried removing the network (livebox) and letting it find it again with the default settings..... All I get is the same alternating messages prev mentioned??
Sorry this is so long....but thought I'd better put as much info in as possible
Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks in advance
Tim

It looks like you're using 128bit WEP Encryption, and trying to connect using WPA-PSK Encryption ?
I'm no expert on setting up Wireless connections, but you'll want to recheck your settings and ensure you're using the same Encryption security on both your Wanadoo Livebox and the Exec.
"The key is automatically provided" box is ghosted.
Network key: Correct wep key, tried in upper and lower case.
Key Index: Is ghosted but shows "1".

Working from memory, you will need to set your Exec to WEP, which will unghost(?) the "The key is automatically provided". Uncheck the box and then type in your WEP key. Also ensure the Key Index is set to the same as your Wanadoo Live box.
At the moment, when it says "available", it basically means you have attached to the Wireless AP, but not authenticated (again, your trying to use different security types), so no IP is handed out to your Exec, thus no access..
Last time I tried setting up my Exec wirelessly I ended up hard resetting it, as I could no longer surf via the USB cable. YMMV of course..
cheers
Do you have DHCP enabled? Are your IP addresses static or dynamic?
Maybe they connect to eachother but if the IP addresses belong to different sub-nets, they will not allow any transfering.
I vaguely remember other people having problems with their Livebox and not being able to resolve them.
Might be worth searching the forums for 'livebox' to see what crops up. IIRC the problems were never solved. Wanadoo weren't interested in helping either.
Hi and Thanks.
I haven't got dhcp enabled so I believe the ip is dynamic?
I've changed my settings to "open" instead of "WPA-TPIK" and reinput my wep key.... but still with no luck
Aaah That's interesting.... and sounds about right for Wanadoo!!
I'm off to search now.
Thanks Again

Did you check the IP address that the Universal is using? Maybe you have to assign one within the subnet mask in the settings of the Wifi configuration of the universal. Normally, they asign in the 169.x.x.x grouping and the routers are normally 192.x.x.x so they will connect but will not send data to eachother.
Wep Keys
It's worth noting that you can usually input the key in hex or Ascii - I believe the key in the XDA will be in hex so make sure that the key in the AP is also in hex (I know that mine works when I use hex on both sides).

Hi Jorge, Only problem is which adapter settings to change from the list....I changed the settings for the first one in the list and input the correct primary and secondary DNS then input the correct ip addy and netmask and gateway......but still no joy
Do you know which adapter?
Thanks
Tim
Hi Dave, I used the keyboard to put the wep key in, as I did with the ipaq (no problem). How do I input it in using hexadecimal on the exec??
Much Appreciated....... anythings worth a try
Thanks
Tim
I believe the adapter is the tiacxwin CompatibleWireless Ethernet. It might be easier to just enable DHCP on your router, maybe? Don't you think?

I have the similar problem with a LinkSys router before which generates a HEX pass key based on the ASCII phrase you provide, which did confuse me a bit. It is the HEX key you need to set.
SKTools now has registry editing in SKscheMa, so I can change my wifi network cards IP addrees and config using a script. But I also need to change the Outgoing mail gateway address as I go from work to home.
Does anyone know of a way to do this as this info is not in the registry but in the email.vol.
many thanks for any help, cjb
Alright dudes, thought I'd post this up as it seems to be the most optimal solution for fixing most instances of the "Unable to obtain server assigned IP address." and it doesn't seem to be widely publicised. I chose a new thread as there seems to be so many instances of this issue. Might be an idea to put this in a stickie, or the WiKi.
Change the "EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Then do a soft-reset.
Basically, the problem is caused by the DHCP IP address assignment timing out, causing the connection to be sometimes dropped (even though an IP address may have originally been acquired without a problem) and hence the error message. Disabling DHCP forces the immediate assignment of the default IP address which doesn't timeout (this has already been detailed on this forum).
Note: This fix retains the internet pass-thru ability of ActiveSync, unlike the other reported solution of disabling "advance network functionality".
I hope this helps some of you out there with this issue.
Or if you dont want to do a registry hack when you can do this:
Settings wireless networks -> network adapters -> Remote-NDIS Host -> use specific IP address:
IP address: 169.254.2.1 <-use these addresses
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default GW: 169.254.2.2
Hit OK and that will do it.
ok, so what am I doing wrong?
I have checked my registry, and and value as in post 1 is 0
and I have set the IP address etc as in post 2 and I am still getting this stupid message.
What else can I try?
Any ideas?
thanks
Thanks man!!!
thank you very much....
Nice!
This is awesome. Frustin, I did it without the regedit and the error appears not to be returning. Just go to Settings, R-NDIS on your PPC and put in those numbers. I've been having this error for well over a year!
thanks!!!!!!
you're wonderfull!!!!

I'm using WMDC (Vistax64) and I had same problem with my TouchDiamond.
I solve this after change registry value :
"EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Then do a soft-reset.
Many thank's
thank you man,you can't imagine how you made my life easier with this post. 1000x thx
Hi all, some help if possible please.
I am creating a build for the Sedna which requires the APN connection to have a DNS server set. I add this IP address to the DNS settings and then extract the Reg but cannot find where it adds the IP address. No item in either decimal or hex can be found for the IP address I have entered.
What I want to do is then create a reg key with the DNS value and pop it into a CAB file.
Does anyone have any idea where WM6.1 keeps the DNS settings please?
Thanks
hi there.i want change my celluler line dns server to opendns ip which is 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222.sometimes my gsm company dns server is stuck so i cant connect internet,also sometimes they block some websites as well.so i am changing my dns server in registry HKLM\comm\Cellular Line\Parms\Tcpip\ under dns but after re-connect to internet it turns default dns ip.when i was using kjam with custom rom i ve never had hat proplem.please help guys.thanks in advance.
