Using a T-mobile MDA Wiz200 w/ WPA-PSK, the correct encryption key, the latest ROM update, and 802.11g enabled, I cannot login to a network with WPA-PSK encryption. That WPA-PSK network does not require a certificate or smart card. The network is detected, MDA tries repeatedly to connect, but no IP address is provided. I can login to Open, WEP encrypted access points, and T-Mobile Hotspots with no problems.
With WPA-PSK enabled, if I click Settings, Connections, Network cards, the access points name, and 802.1x, the checkbox for 802.1x network access control can't be unchecked, although a checkbox is displayed. I believe this is the problem because when I use my HP laptop's built in wireless and uncheck the same 802.1x network access control option, I can login to the WPA-PSK encrypted network with no difficulties.
Question: Does anyone have a hack or suggestion for a way to allow the IEEE 802.1x network access control requirement to be unchecked on a T-mobile MDA Wiz200 Windows Mobile 5.0? Any suggestions are appreciated!
ROM version: 2.16.10.2 WWE
Radio version: 02.15.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
ExtRom version: 2.26.10.105
Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.185 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
Hi, just wanted to note that I'm having a similar/the same issue. Router is a Linksys WRT54G running standard firmware, no Open WRT. I've been able to connect my MDA to every other access point I've tried without problems, but I cannot get it to connect to my own G router with WPA-PSK. Same behavior as above post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i haven't seen wpa in any rom except for orwells1984. even the pdaviet roms dont have it.
WPA/WPA-PSK authentication and TKIP encryption are included in ALL ROMs for the Wizard, no execeptions. Faria managed to add WPA2 & WPA2-PSK authentication as well AES encryption in his AKU 3.3 ROMS which I can verify works perfectly (WPA2 & WPA2-PSK both with AES encryption). The reason 802.1x is greyed out with WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK is it isn't relevent with this authentication type. WPA & WPA2 (Enterprise) requires a back-end RADIUS Server that performs the authentication using 802.1x.
With WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK you are relying on knowing the Pre-Shared-Key (PSK), my guess is you have entered it incorrectly. Re-check the key you entered.

Thanks ADB100. Yes, I'm the network engineer that set up the WPA-PSK network I'm trying to access using a Wizard. What you describe is exactly the way it is supposed to work with an initial Pre-Shared Key (but without any Radius Server, smart card or certificate). All my HP and Toshiba laptop users can access that network without problems using their laptops running Windows XP Pro when in Wirelesss Network Connection Properties the "Authentication" tab for a WPA-PSK wireless network has the check box for "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication unchecked.
Here's what causes my confusion with the Wizard (although this may just be a badly designed GUI in Windows Mobile 5.0). When WPA-PSK with TKIP data encryption is enabled in the Wizard (T-mobile ROM 2.16.10.2.WWE) and I click on the 802.1x tab, a page displays showing a box checked by default which cannot be unchecked to "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" and with "EAP type: Smart Card or Certificate" also displayed but grayed-out in a drop-down box.
I work for a software development company and we would use that display configuration to show settings enabled by default that cannot be changed. To indicate that settings are not in effect we would either (a) not display any settings at all, or (b) have the tab open but have all the text grayed-out with the "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" box unchecked, and with a blank field displayed in the "EAP type" drop-down box.
I appreciate your suggestion about making sure the encryption key is correct because its always useful to start with the basics. I'll also try re-entering the key using both the keyboard and the touch screen on the Wizard just to make sure there are no problems with the type of date entry I'm using. However, the encryption key that I've been entering on all the laptops that I've set-up for users of the wireless network has worked fine.
Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?
Hey folks,
I agree with jonmcad that leaving the box checked when grayed out gives the user the impression that this option is selected and cannot be disabled. But I understand that's not what's really going on. As for my wifi problems, after reading several other threads here, I got things working by changing the channel my router was using from 6 to 1. Works fine now. I don't know if changing the channel would be an option in a corporate environment, that's just what worked for me.
I have the same observation as you on a different device.
My PDA is AIRIS T620.
When WPA-PSK is enabled then the checkbox for 802.1x network access control cannot be unchecked (it is grey on the sheet).
I tried to disable 802.1x by different way. I have downloaded Total Commander for PDA (or for Win CE? I don't remember exactly). With the help of that utility the registry can be searched and edited. I have found \\\registry\HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\Network_name\Enable8021x key with 1 as value. I changed the value to 0. After I started network connection the value was changed back to 1. There is another key too: \\\registry\HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\Network_name\EapTypeId. I tried to delete this key while Enable8021x was set to 0. The result was the same: the WPA-PSK connection was unsuccessful and the original keys and values were restored.
I have no other observations ...

I had the same problem today while trying to connect to my wpa-psk tkip wifi. Then i remembered i had messed around with Advanced Config, setting wpa authentication to enabled. So i reseted it back to disabled and after soft reset i was once again able to connect to my wpa-psk tkip network.
I met the same issue.
1. I use WPA2/PSK - AES or TKIP
2. "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" is checked, and grayed. I can't uncheck it.
3. My phone can connect to the router, but IE won't show a webpage.
4. While my laptop works fine.
Hi guys, does anybody found a solution for this?
Can anyone find the solution for this as i Have HTC Touch Diamond.
Hey guys, I've been lurking for a few months now and have been able to figure out all my questions with the almighty search, but this is one that I'm having issues with.
I picked up the AT&T Fuze a couple weeks ago, and immediately flashed it to ROMeOS 1.40. Everything is working great, except I am having problems connecting to my schools wireless network.
The campus uses 802.1x and WPA. On desktop and laptop machines connected to the network, they require the use of Cisco Clean Access.
Here is the link to the ITS (Information Technology Services) page that covers smartphones, PDAs, etc...not very detailed is it? http://its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=327
I'm trying to connect with the following settings:
Best performance power mode
Network Name: TrumanSecureWireless
Connects to: The Internet
Authentication: WPA
Data Encryption: AES
Checked "The key is automatically provided"
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control
EAP Type: PEAP
When I try to connect to the network, the device says "Connecting", but eventually quits and just goes back to "Available" Shouldn't it prompt me for my network user ID and password at least?
iPhones and iPod Touches are able to connect to the network (http://its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=331&audienceId=), so I figure my superior WM6 device should be able to as well.
For what it's worth, I have tried the registry tweak listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-284534.html with no luck.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!
Hi,
I have a SPV M700 and I am attempting to connect it to my wireless router. The Router has WPA as the security. I have gone through the confirguation on the SPV M700 but I get stuck on the to the EAP Type. I cannot untick the box which states "Use IEEE802.1X Network work Access Control". The only options I have is select either PEAP or Smart Card or Certificate. If I then hit the properties button for either the PEAP or Smart Card or Certificate. It states "cannot log on the wireless network. This network requies a Personal certificate to positively Identify you". If I hit the finish button all it states is my network is available and I am unable to connect.
Is there anyway of connecting to my router via WAP? How do I get a PEAP or Smart Card or Certificate from my router ?
I know its bad form to reply to your own post but I think I have discovered the problem. Its the Zoom Router that I am using that is causing the Problem.
I borrowed a Dlink router and it connects with no problems straight away. I also discovered I can connect to unsecured networks in my street also with no problems.
Anyhow I spend hours trying to configure the Zoom Router from no security to full security to no avail. I have change every setting on the router, once again to no avail. I have contacted Zoom themselves to find out what could be the issue. So far they are clueless.
So my advice is don't use a Zoom Router with WM5 or WM6
So anyone got a suggestions for a router that works with there SPV M700?
my universal now is running Tomal's v10 rom, all goes well, but when I'm trying to connect to my wifi lan, it's discovered by my device as available but never connects.
my wifi lan is hidden (this isn't a problem for my other devices), I allow the universal mac tol connect to the land and I've asigned an specific ip direction inside my lan (as on my other devices)
I've configured my universal as my hermes: network name, as a hidden network, authentication wpa_psk, data encryption tkip, network key ok, use ieee 802.1x network access control marked, and eap type smart card or certificate
I don't know what else to do
Please, I would appreciate some help, dudes
These are the instructions that my corporate has for connecting an iPhone
For your iPhone to access CORPNET you need to connect to the wireless network "CORPNET1". Not all buildings are configured in a way that the iPhone can connect to "CORPNET1". This is because most buildings are only running 802.11a. In some buildings "CORPNET1" is configured to run both 802.11a AND 802.11g (using WPA authentication), the latter being the one the iPhone supports. The other wireless network "CORPNET2" is 802.11b and uses WEP authentication, which doesn’t work for most people. If you can't see "CORPNET1" on your iPhone it's probably not going to work.
Assuming you're able to see CORPNET1, simply select it from the network list. It will prompt you for your credentials, enter your domain\alias and password. It should prompt you to accept a certificate, go ahead and do so. Now, click the blue arrow next to CORPNET1. Scroll down to HTTP Proxy, then select "Auto" and enter: CorpnetProxy. Back out to Safari and check connectivity.
-- When i try to connect to CORPNET1 on Dream (running CyanogenMod 4.2.5 , Firmware version 1.6) i see the following options
EAP Method -- ??
Phase 2 Authentication -- ??
CA Certificate -- i have this as corpnet.cet on my sd card but the dropdown does not show it
Client Certificate -- i have this as corpnet.cet on my sd card but the dropdown does not show it
Private Key password -- ??
Identity -- ??
Anonymous Identity -- ??
Wireless Password -- ?
Can someone please tell me how to configure this so that I can connect to the network. I have rooted my phone.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
