Hey, i have a problem with wifi ... its already showing that its connected to wifi router.. but the internet not working i had this problem from weeks ! .. till now cant find the way to fix it ! ... what do u think ? is there any apps can let the wifi work perfectly with internet ? .. or is there anyway to get back the internet ? .. i dunno its just showing that already connected to my wirless but no net ...
msTx.
This problem can not be answered with the information you gave us, for the problem might well be the network you attempt to connect to. If for some reason your router only allows local access, you will be able to connect, without being able to reach the internet.
First try disabling all security on your router (including mac-filter!) and attempt a connection. If it doesn't fly from there, give us some more info. (What kind of router, phone firmware etc.)
well, i will check my router settings and check the security... and i will give u the answer l8r ... anyway thx
i checked everything .. and my laptop works perfect with wifi 100% ! , but my xperia still doesnt work and also i restarted my router .. so here's the information about my router ..
It's Linksys router .
Network Mode: Mixed
Network Name (SSID): Linksys Router
Radio Band: 40 MHz Channel

I dont want to Disable Security mode .. coz everyone will join my wireless and make more pressure and slow my net.

Check them if anything wroung .. and thx
From the looks of it, your settings aren't "flawed" (to any extent you can speak of flawed anyway).
I meant disabling the security as a temporary test. If disabling allows you to connect, the problem lies there.
Also something that might help is changing the channel you're on.
If that doesn't help, update your router's firmware.
Finally, try connecting to another network with your X1, if that does work, the problem lies in compatibility (most often resolved with firmware updates for your router).
mstx while you are at it also test the following:
1. are the proxy settings on the phone correct? normally they should be empty
2. can you connect fine with the phone from activesync from the laptop
3. are your ip settings correct? some networks requires them to be static (you manually set the correct ip, subnet,gateway) instead of dynamic (from the dhcp server)?
4. when you connect to the wifi network it should ask you to select internet or work. select internet.
Heeey , i fixed it !.. now its work perfect !! ... well, the problem was in the xperia my wifi connection setting, the wifi setting was "connect to WORK" .. so I changed it "connect to THE INTERNET" .. and it works ...
anyway thanks guys !!
i think the problem come from here
Pre-Shared Key: ******* (wireless password)
try using a wep key instead
i think that wireless passxord doesn't work well on windows mobile

Please can anyone help me. I have just recieved a sandisk wifi card but I am having trouble setting it up and connecting with my netgear wireless adsl router :evil: . Does anyone know where I can get step by step instructions for setting this up and all the settings I need?
Thanks
It would help if you told us which router model you have. What seem to be the problems, remember on routers you might have MAC filtering activated and also WEP encryption.
Sorry it is a Netgear DG834G. Having played with it all night, this morning I have now connected and can browse with PIE. No idea what connections I changed to get it working though, but would like to understand what I should have been setting.
Thanks
Can't make this combination work
Hi,
Have got the same router and Orange SPV M1000 on W2003 SE. Have been trying to make this work for a month now. There is no MAC address filtering and no Encryption. It did detect the router once or twice and worked fine once. But it has not worked since then. Have tried speaking to SANDISK, who said that there is a problem with the router and that I need to speak to Netgear. I also tried the Socket's drivers with the SANDISK WiFi, but no luck. Have checked all the settings etc but with no luck yet. The netgear router wirks perfectly all right with another Netgear USB Wifi adapter on a desktop machine. The problem is that the Sandisk WIFI cannot even see the netgear router (the 'Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)' has been selected on the netgear router).
Can somebody help me out with this?
Thanks

Hi,
Try changing the Wireless Radio Channel to eleven (11).
Regards,
Thanks for your reply. It has been set to Channel 11 by default!
Raj
Hi,
There is a few thing that you can try.
1) Disable the encryption.
2) Disable the G mode.
3) Disable any of the multiplier mode. This means that to run the router at max of 11Mbit/s only.
Regards,
Kueh.
All done still no luck. It does not pickup the router.
DHCP has been enabled on Netgear router. Do I need to add any settings manually for this to work?
Raj
Some settings I have set that now allows me access to netgear router and on to the internet. Still need to understand if I can access files on PC.
Under connections/advanced/select networks (programs that automatically connect to a private network) My Work Network/proxy settings. Tick both and put in netgear router server IP address. In Advanced HTTP has same IP address.
Under Connections/advanced/network card/ My network connects to... the internet. Click on adapter (I used Socket drivers for Sandisk card) for IP address select Use server assigned IP address.
You then need to set up the router to allow you to have access.
Go into Wireless Settings.
Name (SSID) - the default given
Region - mine is Europe
Channel - mine is 11
Mode - mine is g & b
Wireless Access Point
Enable Wireless Access Point selected
Allow broadcast of name select
Wireless Station Access list
Click button
Select Turn Access control on
Add New Station manually
Type in a device name for your XDA
Type in the MAC address off the back of your Sandisk card
Press Add
Security options
Select WEP
WEP Security Encryption
Authentication type - Shared Key
Encryption strength - 128 bit
WEP Key
Passphrase - (I used a word and pressed generate)
Key 1 - was populated and selected (When connecting with XDAII I was asked for this Key)
I think that about sums it up. May have changed other settings in my frustration of trying to get it to work so no guarantees.
Regards
Tried everything as suggested by you. I just can't make it work. I can't even see the router in the available wireless networks lists. I have given up now!
Thanks for your help.

RAJ
the WIFI state is connected. but when I try to open a webpage, eg,www.google.com, it shows error: the page cannot be found. Check the name and try again. anyone knows that? how can I fix it?
Thanks.
HELP ME
Someone can help me?!
Where are you using the wifi? Is it your home network or work/hotspot?
Go to settings then the connections tab then tap the "wireless lan" icon. Tell us what you see on that screen, then click the advanced tab and tell us what is there too. Finally click "menu" then "network cards" and tell us what is there (should be a list of available networks).
The only problem I have with my wireless is that i need to have a very strong signal to be able to receive my IP address via DHCP. Once it has it then it's OK and i can wander about but I get no address when the signal is weak ( less than 50%).
Cheers

Check that you have set the connection type to "internet" - I suspect this problem occurs because you have it set to "work".
Chris
I am having the same problem , my signal is nearly 100%, the phone is set to internet, Belkin 54g,, authentication is 'open', WEP, the key was entered manually (26 digits ), do i use 802.1 access ?
mode is infrastructure, tx rate is auto, channel 11,, the mac and ip address is correct,, what is enroll ?
I have tried everything and it is obviously connected so why will it not load pages ?
Had the same problem myself with my XDA IIs. Only solution I could find was to turn disable the firewall on my router. No idea why that worked, and cant find a way to turn the firewall on without causing the problem again, but it did work!
got smilar problem here, some times even when i connected and browsed web say 2 mins. ago suddenly connection can not be established i have tried it with belkin 54g linksys and 3com routers all same couldnt find any solution and accepted it as it is

hello All and Gadget
Bought the XDA mini S from 02 yesterday and havent really been playing with it except installing programs, removing the 02 files and finding my way round the phone.
Anyway, having problem with getting WIFI, can anyone help?
At home, I use Wanadoo broadbrand wireless 'livebox' and here are the following details on the Mini S:
Wireless Lan> main tab> SSID - blank, mode - infrastruture, BSSID -blank, Tx rate - auto, channel - 0
Advanced tab > status, not connected to network, MAC - 00-09-2D-8D-66-BF, IP - 0.0.0.0
network cards tab> wireless tab - wanadoo - 2D9E available
network adaptors> network card connects to 'The internet'
Thanks in advance
Andy
Might be a stupid question but.....
Have you got any security on your wireless router? if so have you permitted the MAC code of your device to connect and obtain an IP address from your router?
Anthony.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Another stupid question is how do I find out if I have security on my wireless router and if i have security, how can i permit the mac code to do its stuff.
Thanks again.
Andy
Check out:
http://help.wanadoo.co.uk/resultDis...Configuration+Manager&resultType=5002#Goto155
Have you set up a WEP security key to prevent unauthorised access to your ADSL Connection? if not then you should; I think the 'LiveBox' has a default key which you have to enter to connect and obtain an IP address.
Not being familiar with this router, I cannot tell you exactly but I would expect you to have to permit a new MAC code under the 'associated devices' menu.
Sorry for being Vague.
Hope this helps. :roll:

First of all, thanks for the link. I am able to see all the details (technical) of my livebox on the wanadoo configuration page.
There is a WEP key set and having tried to enter as much info on the relevant places on the mini s, no luck.
The mini s does recognise the 'livebox' and connects to it then drops off. However, it doesnt pick up any info from the 'box' to complete the relevant wireless tabs on the mini s.
Dont know how I'm going to resolve this but thanks for your help so far.
Shame not to utilise the Mini S with my current wireless broadband connnection.
Cheers
Andy
Hi All
Thanks for the advice so far and after so many attempts I am still unable to configure the mini s to use the wireless connection at home.
Need a huge favour. Would anyone give up a few minutes of their time to go through the configuration on the phone with me.
Please PM me your contact number and when it is convienent for me to call you back.
Much appreciated.
Andy
Hi Andy,
the settings depend to some extent on whether you have an access point (router) or shared connection.
You need to know the network name SSID, (and whether it's hidden)
WEP, WPA/PSK key,
Whether (as previously stated) you have MAC address control enabled in your router
Whether you have DHCP enabled (for automatic IP address from router)
Whether you need to log on (enroll) to password protected shares.
In the mini-S wifi>Menu>Network Cards>Network Adapters tab you should set your network card to connect to The Internet and check that the adapter (SDIO WLAN etc.) is set to use auto IP (if you have DHCP) or pick your own IP address if you have a fixed range.
If you have Zone Alarm or another firewall (I surely hope so :wink make sure that the (mini-S) IP address is in the trusted zone
Lastly; if you seem to be connected but you can't get any web pages - just a page not found error, try killing bloody ActiveSync on the mini-S, sometimes when I'm browsing I suddenly can't access pages and that's what the problem turns out to be - when you stop active sync running in the background it all starts to work again.
This is assuming you have a router not a shared connection which may be slightly different.
Oh....and read the threads about 802.11b and g, if your router only allows 11g the mini-S doesn't connect (I'd find the threads and point you to them but I gotta get back to work soz)
HTH (feel free to contradict or put me straight guys

I had the same problem with my Linksys WRT54G before. I upgraded the firmware (dowloaded from Linksys website) of my WRT54G and the problem solved.
New to the board (Just got my Cingular 8125) Having the same problem.
I get an IP addressfrom my router, it shows I am connected on my network settings, but still can't pull up any pages. It has never worked since I got it (only 3 days though) Someone please help us.
If >Connection Manager>Settings>WiFi Settings shows you have an IP address and are connected (Advanced :Status) then check your firewall settings and try stopping ActiveSync, always seems to do the trick for me
Also check out this post, could this be your problem?

@ cozzykim
I have shut down my zone alarm and don't have firewall enabled on my linksys WRV54G. ActivesSync is also closed. Still no luck
I will try to update my ROM it is not far fetched that cingular Jerry rigged the WiFi. I hope ther is a class action suit coming soon.

Hi Everybody!
I'm looking for some help with connecting to my home WiFi.
In settings, netwok card, I can see my home network.
I use a netgear router with WEP security.
I just can't seem to connect and I can't seem how to input my WEP acces passkey too?
Thanks for any replies
{>
In settings, wireless lan, advanced it states that I am connected to the network, but I still can't connect when using IE?
the message reads : " U~nable to obtain a server assigned IP address . . . etc"
Do you have DHCP enabled on the wireless router? Have you used the wireless network with another device?
Mmm, very good question!
The answer is "don't know". Will check and let you know Syn.
Will start again.now that I have managed to "flash my rom"
Well this is what I have :
Wireless Network

I have added the device to my wireless network list with the MAC address
Signal is VERY GOOD!!!
Am I missing out son some settings?

I've tried to set up a new connection as Internet Explorer tells me it cannot connect with the current settings?
What settings do I need?
I have entered the WEP key, and I don't use passwords on my wifi system??

Do I need an IP address?
Scutter
First things first, forget the PDA for few moments and lets establish what is going on with your AP. The question that [sYn] has asked is very important - do you have DHCP enabled on the AP. The answer you posted is meaningless as it only shows the options and not the current config. Interrogate the AP and look for where the LAN side DCHP option is and make sure it is set to ENABLE or ON or whatever positive indication is used.
Once you are sure this is configured (ideally tested with a PC) then go get your PDA and try connecting again. If it still doesn't work disable all the security and encryption settings and turn off that stupid MAC address authentication which, by the way, is pointless. If needs be do a factory reset on the AP. With no security enabled try conecting the PDA. It more than likely will connect now. Once it does start building up your security one layer at a time making sure you test at each stage. Can I suggest that you forget WAP and MAC authentication and use a WPA Pre-Shared Key instead as this provides bucket loads more security.
Hope this helps.
JT, thanks for all your help!
I use a netgear router. Whilst awaiting a reply here I did a bit of research and took of the security of my router. I then connected my device using a shared key (I have always had this) and then put the security back on.
I had to reconnect my laptop too. I think the reason isthat the router was set for an automatic setting and I chaned this to an open system.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP !!!

Hello everyone,
this is my first post here.
So far I found any info i needed in this forum. And i can tell.. this is not a forum, it's an enciclopedya. So I give you all of my complimentes and thank you so much for the job you all are doing!!
Now I have one question that hope you can answer.
In wi-fi setting, network adapter, I see "IEEE 802.11B/G compatible network adapter".
Is this the same adapter used to connect to my provider HSDPA?
I did manually set IP and Gateway for my phone to connect my home-wireless and after that It stopped connecting to my ISP!
I managed every kind of configuration, I even called my provider to check for black-out of service, and eventually I had to hard-reset and It worked again.
After Hard Reset I set-up my wi-fi IP addresses again and then I realized this broke the connection to my provider.
Hope I was clear and I'm here to ask if my reasoning it's right.
Thank you in advance.
IEEE 802.11B/G == wifi == nothing to do with phone networks
When you turn on your wifi it should automatically find available wifi networks in the vicinity. Should be no need to enter IP & Gateway manually into device. Your wifi will most likely be password protected (if not set this up immediately). When you try and connect your HD it should prompt you for your password. Enter this and then your device should be connected
first, thank you for your answers!
well, the reason i manually set up gateway is because i've got two different devices: 1 as gateway and 1 for routing and access point. i have just solved that problem by setting default gateway in my access point config. now my blackstone connects to wi-fi without setting any parameter.
anyway i still have the idea that previous configuration broke my phonenetwork connection?
what do you think?
The strangest thing I have even experienced, and perhaps can save you time and headache.
** Summary (for those not wanting to read the whole story, but just the fix)
If your HD2 Android can connect to your home WiFi but cannot access Internet, check if your WiFi network uses a 192.168.20.x IP subnet address. The HD2 Android's USB port uses the same subnet, causing a conflict. If you change your home WiFi to use any other subnet, it will work fine.
** The Long Story
Been reading and admiring all the Android developments in XDA-Developers for some time, finally decided it was time to give it a try. Picked one of the more popular and stable MDJ Froyo (Desire HD) for SD and loved it.
Problem is couldn't use the Internet via WiFi from my home. Internet via GPRS works fine, Internet via USB/PC works fine, just not WiFi. The connection to WiFi is successful, picks up a DHCP IP address just fine, but no Internet.
Oh well, perhaps there is a WiFi bug in HD2 Android not reported so never mind.
Wait! On a business trip, when HD2 Android connecting to the hotel's WiFi, Internet works fine! Subsequently in many other places WiFi works also flawlessly.
Must be the WiFi router at home. Not too surprising as I don't use much wireless but wired all my other computers (including notebook PCs), it is faster anyways.
So went back and tested WiFi on a notebook PC (prior to that upgraded the WiFi router's firmware), PC connects and works, but HD2 Android still not. Tried all kinds of WiFi and encryption combination (BGN, BG, G only, WPA2, WPA, WEP), just nothing works for HD2 Android. >> Conclusion: not the WiFi router at home, just HD2 Android working with this particular WiFi router.
Finally (but forgot what app it was), I saw the USB port binding to 192.168.20.x subnet, exactly the same as my LAN subnet in the WiFi router.
Bingo, changed the LAN subnet to something else (really anything is fine because it is inside a NAT so not an issue getting out to the Internet) and HD2 Android works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
sorry, can you explain more where to change in the router settings? i can't find anything to change in my wireless settings
Look up the LAN (local area network setting) in your router, where the IP address for most WiFi router is set to use 192.168.0.1
In my case the WiFi router is set to use 192.168.20.1 (and DHCP to pass out 192.168.20.x IP addresses).
By changing the IP address of the router, most router automatically change the DHCP assignment to corresponding subnet, say from 192.168.20.1 to 192.168.x.1
x can be any of 0 to 255, just not 20 for my case or it causes conflict with HD2 Android.
Hi Dear friend , And Thanks for sharing experiences.
I have the same problem , but my router's setting is :
IP Address : 192.168.1.1
and my Starting IP Address : 192.168.1.100
IP Pool Count : 101
DHCP : Enabled
NAT : Enabled
Default Route : YES
but no webpage loaded , the weather not work . but the meebo messenger
with my yahoo ID just worked .
so how can i fix it ?
tnx
I notice the conflict (with my 192.168.2.x) when I checked the HD2 IP addresses (after connecting to the WiFi). When I see the USB port bound to 192.168.2.x I know the two just conflict with each other.
If something (meebo messenger?) works but not others... could it be your HD2 not getting name resolution (DNS ?). Say if you try opening this do you get the Google page:
http://74.125.153.104/
** This is Google's page without the need to resolve via DNS.

i think my Android's Kernels have been changes. maybe i'll can find something like this (equal IP address)
thanks.
I have following problem : At my university i have hidden Wifi network, locked with password.. But, ofcourse, we cracked their password, and now we can use their WiFi.. But i cant use it.. On WM i could use it .. One more thing to mention, there is a proxy u need to setup before u can go on internet trough that Wifi network.. but thats not my concerne yet.. I cant get connected to that Wifi.. I make new conn, with password and other settings, and it keep saying : Connecting... Disconnected...
Any ideas to help me ?
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem. I solved it by updating the radio to version 2.14.50.2. I think this version works best.
For me 2.15.50.14 works, too...
