Oh wise ones can you help
I have conected my M1000 to my Wifi network and can surf the net ( connect to internet in network card settings)
and i can Active Sync using Wifi as well ( connect to work in network card settings)
But is there anyway i can listen to my tunes in my shared music folder through wifi like i do with my laptop?
just a thought headphones in while washing the car etc
Thanks In advance
yes.. well maybe.
what you will need is a media player for pocket pc supporting streaming.
basically what you can do is set up a media streaming server
(look at a piece of software called vlc...its a media player for pc's)
then you just need to stream your songs from the pc to the client media player on the pda and you could use the webfrontend from your pda to set up the playlist.
if theres a ppc media player supporting streaming (i've never looked) its actually quite simple and quite nice.

could tell mE how to;
"surf the net ( connect to internet in network card settings)
and i can Active Sync using Wifi as well ( connect to work in network card settings)"
using my sdio wifi connection PLEEEEEEASE
heh as i stated above go look at VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
this will be the server that you stick on your pc..theres a great howto on vlc over at engadget http://engadget.com/2005/11/29/how-to-stream-almost-anything-using-vlc/.
then you need a media player on your ppc to stream to. now i happened to notice theres an experimental vlc for ppc which would do nicely..but you can do a google and find a ppc media player...as long as it supports streams your good to go.
i've not actually tried this myself but i know it'll work.
enjoy!
if I plug my xda into the cradle, I can surf the Internet etc. But even though I have installed the drivers, and the utility for my SDIO CARD, and the utility tells me I am connected to my router, I cannot surf the Internet when disconnected from the cradle.
When I go start menu/settings/connections/advanced/network and I can see and configure my connection.
my network connection name is correct.
when I go into "connects to: (i chose) the Internet"(the other option was "work").
In in " select networks" by port;
programs automatically connect to the Internet should connect using "my work network".
Programs automatically connect to a private network should connect using "my work network".
oh so your issue is you can't get the internet on your phone via wireless.... would have been better if you had made that clear and also created a new topic to ask the question
first thing to do i think would be select the work network... rather than the internet...next is to check its being assigned the routers ip for a gateway
then should work
thanks.
Because my system is new, I actually did a hard restart, then reinstalled the drivers and the utility for the SDIO. As soon as I plugged in the card my router network was named, I selected it and chose work instead of Internet as you suggested. This would not work on the Internet. the xda told me I need to set up the proxy server, which I didn't know how to do,So then I went back into the settings and connections advanced as I said above, and changed it from work to the Internet. I can now connect to the Internet when I'm not connected to my cradle.I haven't done anything in the "tasks" section of my connections, I've only worked in the "advanced" section.
I raised the router firewall and it still worked. I now want to try putting in the WEP encryption, can you tell me where I do that?
now to do an ActiveSync as the guy described above I will have to go through the router IP address, to my desktop computer which is connected through a LAN connection. I just turned on the printer and filesharing in my network setup. And at the Norton Internet Security has recognised the change, and made adjustments. How do I now go about setting up a ActiveSync?
Thanks for all this help, I appreciate it.
right wep im afraid i've forgotten my sdio wireless cards bust.. activesync is a nice easy one tho
under the advanced settings of the card there will be a place where you can put in a WINS server ip in there put the ip address of the pc you want to sync with. then run activesync from your xda and it should work.
you may need to enable sync over network in activesync on your pc first however
I'm sorry to be a dummy mate, do you mean start/settings/connections/advanced/network card, for the advanced settings for the card?if so I cannot find the WINS setting etc.
By the way, I have found if you go through the root above, click on your connection you are connected to, you can put the network key in there.
start/settings/connections/advanced/network cards/select your wifi/name servers
I don´t know why everybody talks abaut music over wifi installing a music streaming software, I think that it´s not really necesary.
For example, at home, I´ve got 4 pcs included in my wifi network. And all of them have a hard disk drive added to the shared drives of the wlan, so I can get access to every one of them. If you just go to resco explorer, share those drives of the network, and try to open mp3 files of those drives, you will be opening mp3 files from another pc with your ppc´s media reproducer...
If there´s not a lot of traffic in the network, you will hear the mp3 files without any problems, but it there is, you will hear the music well, but with a little bit of "chskcs" (I mean that it sounds something like: ckshksd when I´m hearing the mp3 file) every 5 seconds more or less..
This is the same for divx films. But here, the trouble of "chsks" is bigger...
73´s
yeah i've never really bothered i just use pc and turn it up loud...the problem arises when you have a number of computers all playing mp3's from the same location...goodbye bandwidth, hello to skippy noise.
with a streaming server the network traffic is reduced which i suppose is a small benifit...also it means you can do it not only on the network but access it over the internet aswell...which for some ppl is probably a good reason. hell why buy an ipod if you have inet access to an 80gig mp3 collection anyway (aside from when you cant get an inet connection :wink: )
Wop... You have turn it on my lamp, and now I´ve got the key to stop the boring study evenings at the library...
The problem is that I prefer to listen music of my 1giga sd card, to be connected to the university wlan and listening from my streaming, cause my wifi card "kills" the battery of my XDA II in... I don´t know, but maybe 3 hours of continued use, whereas listenin music of the sd card consume much less... But it´s a great thing the streaming server...
Thanks 4 all
yeah i know what you mean about the wifi killing the battery. i ended up getting the backpack for my xda2..still found battery power wasn't enough so i keep my charger with me as well
How many time could you increase with the batery pack?
I have seen it in expansys.com (or a net shop lite that) and it costs abaut 115 euros. The pack comes with a TV adapter, to watch your xda II screen on the tv, and the battery.
73´s
i think the backpack battery is about half that of the internal so if your internal lasts say 3 hours on its own with the backpack it lasts 4 1/2 - 5 ish i think was my rough increase..cannot really remember as my wlan card is bust and i havent used the backpack since
I am using a Cingular 8525 with the new rom from AT&T. I was wondering if anyone else encountered this issue. I can no longer stream audio or video from any source including windows media mobile site. I first noticed the problem when i tried to use xstreamxm and the site works but it wont trasfer over to the media player to actually play.
I'd very much like to know the answer to this as well as I'm having the same exact problem with xstreamxm only I'm currently using WXML 0.21.....
XstreamXM ( http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile ) works fine on my device as well but when WMP picks up the stream it goes to Buffering 0% then reverts back to paused. After I upgraded to WXML I used wpbear's cingular mms cab (thank you so much wpbear). Internet and MMS work fine but if I can't listen to Ethel and The Virus then why do I exist???
Whoever is kind enough to solve this issue for me will gladly be given the honorary spirit award for the day =]

This is killing me with the new 3.3 ROM also... hopefully someone can help...
Have you tried...
...using isp.cingular? Or at least configuring "My ISP" (does not use proxies) with the standard wap.cingular settings?
I have both isp and wap settings currently in my phone and set to auto pick. I've also tried using both profiles seperately, disconnecting and trying again to no avail.
Works with Net front
I stated using netfront in order to get cingular video. Now i can get streams to work from xstreamxm.com./mobile and other sites. Any kind of audio stream still dosent work in pie. I am using media net with the wireless.cingular proxy or just wifi.
I have not had a problem, but I have been using www.radio4pda.com
I still cannot get past my 0% buffering no matter wap or isp or netfront rather than ie. I believe ppennza's problem was a bit different than mine. can anyone replicate this problem or solve it?
I have the same problem either I use GPRS or WiFi, I had to go back to the official 1.34 and problem solved.
BTW BBC 2.1.2.54 works fine on both (2.06 and 1.34)
I have a problem with streaming media. I am using WM6 - BLACK 3.0.1 and every time I try to use Streaming media I get this error: “Failed to find network”. The same thing happens when I start the wifi. The strange part is that if I turn off the phone mode (so only the wifi is running) everything works perfect. How should I configure the phone to get the streaming media to work with gprs or 3g?
/D
This is very odd. Suddenly today I'm getting connection errors (GPRS) on every program on my phone EXCEPT for Skyfire. Skyfire can connect and surf the net with no problem, but not one other app on my phone will connect to the net, and I've tried several browsers as well as apps that connect directly (i.e. YouTube, Google Maps, etc).
I'm on AT&T in the US (New Orleans, specifically). I've checked and triple-checked my Media Net connection settings, and nothing has changed that I can see since the last time I was able to use it successfully. I've soft-reset several times, to no avail. I don't know if this is an issue, but while I was using WiFiWMRouter yesterday, it crashed. But I used the "Reset All Settings" function of that which is a crash cleanup of sorts, and still no luck.
What else can I check? It would seem that if it were an AT&T issue, Skyfire wouldn't be able to connect either!
Weird, I have the exact same problem too. I probably wouldn't have known that Skyfire could connect until I saw your post. My problem began (I think) when I uninstalled WMWifiRouter last night. I haven't gotten a connection with any other app since then. I had a hell of a time uninstalling an old version or WMWR I had installed just so I could install the PAID version and now it is apparently causing problems even on uninstall...
To add to this - I've confirmed that devices connected with ICS can connect to the internet through the phone. So it seems to me that the problem is related to some wifi settings (maybe that WMWR sets up) that aren't being "released" when wifi is turned off/disconnected.
If I do a hard reset the connection seems fine. If I then restore a backup from right before the problem started the connection is okay, but only until I try wifi again. From then on it's borked until I restore the backup again... frustrating as hell.
FWIW - I think I pinned down what was going on with my phone. In my wifi settings something (probably WMWR or Phojo) had set a static IP when establishing an ad-hoc network and didn't revert to "obtain an IP address automatically" when I quit/uninstalled the program. I don't know why the IP address of the wifi network adapter affects my cellular data connection, but setting that to "obtain automatically" and turning wifi back off allowed my phone to connect again. So it seems like it was using that IP address regardless.
Hi there,
Recently upgraded to the 1.48 rom and since then been having connection issues of all kinds.
Basically, when on 3G or equivalent I get timed out connections when contract internet / data connection is turned on and supposedly working. I then have to soft reset the handset to get access again. There's no specific time this happens, it is quite random though I have noticed it happens without fail after I upload to Facebook or send email?!
I also have a problem with iPlayer or streaming flash video (I have run the Opera Flash patch). Again, I will be downloading and streaming happily but after ten minutes (flash) or 5 minutes (iPlayer) of video the stream drops and I have to refresh the page or restart the stream. This is frustrating on an hour long programme. This happens on 3G and WiFi
Are there any settings I can play with or registry entries I can change so that streaming is continuous?
I am using Windows Media not Core Player - if this is the issue let me know.
Thanks
go to
settings > connections > issues > clear all
and reboot your device..
but seriously maybe some restriction of your provider? have you tried it without the proxy? (if any)
I'm having some connection issues with 3G/HSDPA on certain sites (eBay). I can get through the links from my web gmail to ebay hyperlinks (questions, offers, sold items, etc) OK via WIFI but not on 3G. It was working but these 2 days. Doubt it's the provider doing anything. I've upgraded to 2.07 Radio from 2.05
I'm just running off the standard Vodafone connection and my Virgin Media connection at home - Netgear router, no additional firewalling etc.
It happens elsewhere though and is sporadic. I'm going to update the ROM as soon as 1.66 becomes available over here in the UK. Hopefully that'll tidy things up.
Randomly, I can't send picture attachments from Outlook but if I log in to Yahoo on Opera I can attach them! Weird.
HOW CAN ADJUST MY CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO CONNECT AUTOMATICALLY VIA WIFI AND ALTERNATIVELY VIA MY PROVIDER (GPRS etc)
DOES ANYBODY HAS AN ANSWER WILL BE HELPFULL
THANKS IN ADVANCE
