Hi to everyone, I have been looking for a post with my problem but i dont seem to find it. Here's my problem
When i connect to a wifi which is free access or only password protectiom with wep, (only need to enter a password to access the internet) I have no problem, i can access internet, but when i try to access a wifi point with wpa2 which asks for a user and password (The internet connection at uni) the phone gets blocked and even if i do a soft reset, it keeps blocked, i need to do a hard reset
I have downloaded securew2 as htc has no wpa2 where i can enter a username and password, i have installed the certificates which are needed, but still it blocks the phone. i have tried it 3 times and each time i had to do a hard reset (to mention that i have followed my uni instructions of how to setup securew2 and all the steps)
Description of what happens: Basically when I select connect to the wifi, the light turns off, and i can't do anything. When I restart the phone, i have no time to enter the wifi connections to stop the connection because it freezes the screen and then turns off.
If anyone could give me a hint i would really appreciate as i am most of the time at university and i would like to use the wifi connections for email stuff and surfing on the net with the phone(classes are very boring and there are many things to be seen in youtube jajajaaj)ç
thank you people

I've bought a Sandisk wifi card for my XDA2 and I'm having difficulty using it to surf the 'net. An example, a friend of mine has a wireless network at his home and whenever I pick him up the XDA finds the network and asks if I want to connect to the web. I then launch IE which then tries to connect with GPRS. I've looked at the settings but I'm unsure what to change to allow IE to use the wifi connection. Someone here must have experience setting this up. Thanks.
has your mate set his wep encryption correctly? ask him to set it to open and see if that lets you on. On your security settings make sure you turn off any encyption. Once thats done, and you are on, then re set both security levels and try again and type the wep key for the router into the xda/sandisk settings. If that fails from memory, select work instead of internet on the xda.
When I go into the settings for that connection it says it's open with no encryption. There's a similar network at work although I suspect it's a nearby school - open network without encryption. I thought this would be easier to set-up! And what is a wep key?
I have a MDA PRO
Rom Version: 1.12.42 wwe
Radio : 1.08.00
Protocol: 42.41.P8
Ext rom: 1.12.126 WWE
What I want to do: I am trying to connect to the internet using pocket internet explorer using my wifi network at home and not GPRS.
The problem: I go to 'Settings' >>"connections" tab >> 'Network Cards'>> "wirelss" tab
It displays my wifi connection and it says "available" so I {tap and hold} and select 'connect'. It then states that it is 'connecting' but it doesnt connect and reverts back to saying that my network is "available'.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set up something on my pc? Any additional settings on my Universal that i should initiate?
I tried searching the forum with no luck in finding someone with the same problem. Is there a thread with a guide that can help me out. Thanks for your time.
soft reset the phone
then no need to go into settings
on today screen (main screen) touch the "G" at the top
it will ask you if you want to activate wifi
select
it should connect automatically
I have exactly the same problem with my M5000.
Can anyone help?
Are your home wireless networks protected (eg WEP or WPA) ? If so - and I would hope so - then are you using the applicable WEP/WPA settings and key when trying to connect ?
Worth also trying to set the IP address manually on the PDA, see if this helps ?
For me, the first thing to do when experiencing wireless probs is to temporarily disable any encryption and see if it works then.....and then re-enable, carefully inputting key etc.

What happened there ! :roll:
On the Blue Angel, it was simple - you just set up a new connection, enter the PSK, connect and off you go!
On the Universal, however, I'm having no joy. I've set up the WEP and PSK stuff and the PDA can connect to the network, but when I try and open IE it opens up GPRS. Also, PC Anywhere only works via USB - again, it won't connect via WiFi. I'm sure it's just a case of adjusting some settings but I don't know which ones!
Wifi Connection Problems
Hi I'm experiencing exactly the same problems trying to connect.
I have a Wanadoo Livebox and my xda exec.
I've tried with my connection both unsecured and with 128bit wep encryption using the correct wep key....I still get connecting, followed by available, repeated continuously?
I have the xda set to connect to "the internet" and the authentication to "open". Key index is 1.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Tim
Wifi Connection Problems
Hi, Just a bit more info...
Encryption is set to "wep"
Mac address is associated with the livebox.
802.1x is ticked to use IEEE 802.1x network access control.
EAP type is Smart cCard or Certificate
Thanks

I just checked (with my Blue Angel) that the router and everything else is working and I'm happy to say it all is.
I set up the new connection on the BA from scratch - WPA-PSK enabled, nice long PSK, and I'm using TKIP. Network connects to: The Internet.
This allows me to remote up to the PC via PC Anywhere, and allows me to connect to the 'Net for free via the WiFi router.
When I duplicate the settings on the Universal, neither of the above works. What am I doing wrong?
Help!
You haven't got mac address filtering enabled on your router, and have forgotten to add your Universal's mac address to the list, have you?
Cheers,
Steve.
No, it's disabled.
hehe i had this problem tonight and was going to post up.
Has your router got MAC-control or anything on it? My SSID is not set to broadcast so I put the settings in manually.
I deleted the settings, and put them in manually again a few times, making sure I had the encryption stuff set correctly.
Eventually it connected and now seems to be working fine.

Ad Hoc?
Ok, I've tried every possible combination possible and nothing is helping. So my next question to get around this problem>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Can I use my pc as a ad-hoc and us it as my gateway for my Universal?
I have a pc in the office down the hall with the actually wireless router, I have a pc in my room that is accessing the wireless router from the office.
Please let 'US' know if you have tried ad hoc or if you find the right settings to connect to the main wireless router.
Thank you
I am on my wifi network typing this, and my settings show 802.1x network access control not having a tick and network adapter connected to Work......on my iPaq hx4700 before, I used these same settings as they seemed to work well, although it ran WM2003SE not WM5.....
All this said, however, but I was lucky in that my MDA Pro connected to my wifi network at the first attempt - except not with as strong a signal as the iPaq had.....
Wifi Settings
Can anyone who has connected okay, let us have their full settings, so that we can try them?
Is your Router set 802.11g only?
You need to set the router to accept 802.11b and 802.11g.
If your router will only output at 54g, you could try the hack to switch the universal to 54g. I am yet to try this so I don't know if it works.
My MDA Pro connected straight out of the box once I set the ssid and encryption.
Hope this helps

I've been on the phone talking to 3rd line support at Orange.
Basically, the guy is totally flummoxed!
After trying to talk me through the setup from memory, it seems as though a whole menu of WiFi settings has disappeared from the phone - specifically, the ones that we need! This being the case, he's going to get hold of an M5000 tomorrow and will then bell me back so we can go through the whole process together, both of us using an M5000.
One thought that did occur to me was this: I've only just (like, 3 days ago!) upgraded to the M5000 and I've taken on some kind of free Internet access scheme with my tariff. Could it be that the settings for that (that are sent by Orange in a data SMS) have knackered the WiFi setup?
I'm considering a hard reset with a soft reset before the .CAB files install but will at least wait until tomorrow.
I'll keep you all posted....
Having looked through the forums i'm not alone in this problem?,i have always been able to connect to the internet through my home wireless network and veiw wap sites while out & about, until yesterday i can now no longer connect to my network? All i have done is to configure it so as to be able to browse the web via gprs via a remote server as shown in a thread on this site. That worked a treat but now no wireless access, just keeps connecting but not able to connect. tried various fixes as stated in numerous threads, no joy. put it back to original config still the same. as far as i (novice) can tell it can't get a ip address of my linksys WRK54G router. haven't touched that so doubt if that is at fault. All other laptops in house still able to connect? DOH Any advice would be appreciated. Going to check on brothers network if it can connect? will let you know.
It would help if you post links to whatever advice you followed to change settings, so we would know exactly what you were trying to do.
On a side note we have a linksys router at work (fortunately not on the main network) and sometimes it refuses to let my Jamin connect for no reason until I reset it. (Pulling the power supply does the trick)
I know it is not much of a solution, but worth a shot (router configuration will not be effected) specially if you manage to connect to your brothers network.
Sorry here is link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269023&highlight=T-Mobile+GPRS.
Also had error message appearing about ip address not being assigned, after/during activesync? fixed this. Could it be related?.
When connecting to network all details show correct in the WiFi settings page, but in the advanced tab ip is 0.0.0.0 and status assigned to network. If i tap renew nothing happens?. Hope this helps tia
Guess you would like to no how i fixed the other problem, "http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc/browse_thread/thread/d6df3cc438b9ca5f/8bd321e9d0200967%238bd321e9d0200967?sa=X&oi=groupsr&start=0&num=3"
Have got it working, tried powering down wireless router - no change, thought about a hard reset, not today thanks, tried a soft reset, bingo! it works. swear i had already tried that??, thanks for help great forum.
Oops Must have been a hiccup, was still unable to surf web through WiFi, managed it once then kept getting message unable to connect, check connections. Finally sorted it.
Set up internet connection through my ISP using o2 payandgo details, but with out proxy server info. Kept gprs settings the same in My Work Network.Seems ok after a couple of minutes testing.
If anyone needs the exact settings send me a message and I will post them.
For some reason I can connect to the internet very easily through GPRS (even when roaming), but at home with my own wirelss LAN, I can connect with no problem, but each time I try to access anything on the internet, I get a pop-up stating "Could not locate remote server". I don't have a router, I am using a desktop as the gateway, I am currently accessing the net with my laptop through the same means. All configurations for the LAN appear to be correct, but I must be missing something on the JAMin. In the WiFi settings, I see the LAN, almost full signal - Ad hoc Mode - status is connected - I'm assigned an IP ... seems like everything is in order.
Will one of you wizards point out what I've missed? I know it's probably simple, usually is.
If I'm having trouble connecting a device to a network that has previously been working ok, the first that I do is turn off all network security i.e WEP, MAC address filtering etc. Then reboot the wireless access point/router and your device. If you still can't connect, you can start to blame your device.
Don't think it's a network prob...
Thanks Matterhorn, but my laptop is still connected fine, no problems there... I get the feeling that the PPC's only recognising the GPRS as a valid network for internet access... it works okay when I login to a commercial WiFi network (when I'm in the States) but for some reason on my own network here at home, it logs in, just can't find a server for some reason. The first thing I thought of was the firewall, turned it off and still no luck.
Any other ideas? I thought maybe there was a setting for default AP or connection, but can't find it, nor can I find an appropriate reference in the manual. Ugh!
Resolved!
It would seem my JAMin was trying to access the internet not through the gateway, but through my laptop. As I don't have the laptop setup to share an internet connection, it would allow my JAMin to connect, but that was all. I went in the room where my desktop is, registered on the network there and bingo!
Too simple, should have tried that right away but it didn't occur to me at the time. Thanks for the help anyway Matterhorn!
Hi,
I have an HTC Elfin that has no problem connecting to a home network with WEP encryption. But at work, I cannot connect to the network with WPA-TKIP encryption. My phone just tries to connect for a few seconds and then the status of the access point goes back to "available". I've verified the network pass phrase, as it does work with my co-worker's netbook. What is the problem here?
BTW, I've been reading up on this problem and somebody mentioned the fix of turning on/off the wifi (turn on wifi, connect, turn off wifi and then on again), but it doesn't work for me:

Try to set wifi to best performance instead of best battery first.
Often the problem is also caused by a combination of the router (brand/type) and a Windows based device/computer.
Some things you can try to get a working connection with WPA-PSK enabled:
1. Modify the registry:
\HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert=dword:00000000
2. Modify the network settings:
Settings > Connections (tab) > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters (Tab)
and select "NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver" (maybe you have to config a static ip-address).
Thanks for the suggestions. I did all those, except for the static IP since our network admin doesn't provide one. It still doesn't work. One thing I'd like to understand is that in my case, why does the WPA-PSK connection work for the standard Windows environment (laptop/netbook, desktop) but not Windows Mobile? What could be the difference?
I don´t know what ROM are you using, but if it is some of 23XXX Builds, disconnect first the Bluetooth and then connect the Wireless... Should work now...
My ROM is MK_872_05 WWE, from chota_shivaji. It uses WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.21872. Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it out on Monday when I get back to work.
I disconnected the Bluetooth connection and tried again to the WPA-PSK encrypted access point at work and it still doesn't work. Just yesterday at a relative's place, I was able to connect to his router with WPA security. I think there's something different with the one at work which does not work with Winmo devices.
at work do u just have a password or a user/password? are u using certificates?
At work I have a guest username and password that I can use to log in for the WIFI access point. The password changes every week, but I confirmed that I used the latest one. But I don't think there's a certificate needed since my co-worker is able to use his home netbook to log in without anything else except the same username and password.
