into teeny weeny little pieces.
I feel so much better now!!
Anyways...I have a wireless home network up and running and would like to connet the xda to it.
I can connect to the router no probs but IE cant connect to the web. it says "the page you are looking for cannot be found".
Any ideas why I can connect to the router but not to the web?
Cheers folks - thanks
I know how you feel. There are a couple things you have to do.
First check that you have selected to connect via "work".
Then ensure that the IP address shown is in the range of 192.168.0.X
had no problems with my wifi on my home network, as ale210p said, I think it's with the way your connect via "work" or "ISP" is configured
hiya folks
thanks for coming to my rescue..hopefully i can get this thing on the road.
- in connections - advanced - select networks. both selections are set to "my work network"
- in configure network adapters - network adapters. the "my network connects me to" dropdown is selected to work.
- where can i check my ip address on the device?
Alhtough I am connected to my wireless network as that what the wireless LAN manager says?
any ideas guys?
many thanks
Is your internet provider checking the MAC address? my provider checks for the MAC address and hence I had to register my MAC address first with the provider.
I'm pretty sure my ISP isnt checking my MAC address as my PC and other computer on the network work fine with regards to internet access and I never gave the MAC addresses to the ISP.
However, my modem router does have mac filtering enabled. I have copied the MAC address of the xda to the allowed list. However I've also tried to turn this filter off and the result was the same....I still could connect to my home wireless network but had the same error message when trying to surf through pocket IE.
Any other ideas on why I can connect to the network but IE wont let me surf?
thanks again
I'm having exactly the same problem as Richard. What I don't understand is, I can drive around and find free residential wireless hotspots and surf the net , but I can't do it on my own WLAN!
IP info OK?
These symptoms could indicate that vital IP info is missing on your XDA.
Does your XDA get an IP address + gateway address + DNS server address from the router's DHCP server? Use vxIPConfig to determine this http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I know for a fact that many times (not always) my QTEK 9090 does NOT get the required IP info from my SMC Barricade 2804WBR b/g wireless router, so I started using fixed addresses on my QTEK.
If I use DHCP, many times I can connect to the router but am unable to access the internet... Because the QTEK has not received an IP address/gateway address/DNS server address in those cases. Fixed addresses always work.
whoa
thanks for the advice. i installed the app. rubbed the sticks together and there were sparks i tell you!!! but what does it all mean?
the ip address is 169.254.84.245
subnet mask 255.255.0.0
dhcp server 255.255.255.255
im no tekkie so am not sure what the above means? does it provide any clues?
thanks for the advice so far
just an update
i manually inputted the ip address assigned to my xda by the router as i have dhcp disabled on the router.
nonetheless it sill doesnt let me connect to the net but i can connect to the wlan?

Fixed IP address is good, but have you also put in the gateway address and DNS server address? Normally the gateway address + DNS server address = router address.
If your routers IP address would be 192.168.1.1 (quite common address), then your IP address could be 192.168.1.2, gateway address would be 192.168.1.1 and DNS server (name server) address also 192.168.1.1.
BTW; this:
the ip address is 169.254.84.245
subnet mask 255.255.0.0
dhcp server 255.255.255.255 <========= !!!!
means that DHCP didn't work!
I suppose that when you state "connect to the wlan" you mean that you can 'see' machines on your local network? Or what? That would make sense because you wouldn't need a gateway address and DNS server address for that normally (broadcasts).
siliconaddict....you're a genius!
finally it works, it works i say.
fantastic.
thanks to all for the advice and feedback - much appreciated.
can i stoke the fire and ask how i can sync via wifi as well?
never done it myself, but here is a guide
I have never synced over WiFi myself, but here are some guides:
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/WM2003/ActiveSync/WM2003ActiveSyncConfiguration.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=132820
Please note that the next version of Activesync, version 4, doesn't do syncing over Wifi anymore...
Good luck!
Sorry to be a complete noob, but:
1. How do I find out the IP Address of the XDA (Is it in Wireless LAN Manager, under "current config" and "IP:"?)
2. My Netgear USB WLAN is showing an IP of "0.0.0.0" (on command prompt >> ipconfig) How do I change this?
Thanks
Q & A
A 1: On your PDA use Use vxIPConfig for this http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html. Unfortunately the OS doesn't have a standard utility for it, like 'ipconfig'.
A 2: Does your router hand out IP addresses at all? Or: is DHCP enabled on your router? If true, do you have the correct drivers loaded for that USB NIC? In Device Manager how does it look? Yellow exclamation mark? Can you post the output of 'ipconfig /all'.
Hi
ihave a O2 XDA IIi and an belkin router
the wireless connection is established and my xda recognise the network but i cannot acess internet
what can i do?
go "setting>connection>network card"
and setup a card for your router.
doesn 't work
I TURN ON WIFI ON XDA IIi the connexion recpgnize wi-fi belkin 54g status connected
start settings/connections/network cards
configure wireless network page
belkin 54g connected
networks toaccess
all available
network adapters page
my network card connects to
work
tap an adaptor to modify settings:
NE2000 compatible ethernet driver (configured with all ip adresses and dns)
L2TP NDISWAN miniport
ASYNC MAC NDISWAN MINIPORT
PPTP NDISWAN miniport
tiacxwln compatible wireless ethernet (configured with all ip adresses and dns)
bluetooth pan user driver
is this ok?
i come back on
configure wireless network page
belkin 54g connected

i click on belkin 54g
this is what it shows

when i type an internet adress
the message : the page you are looking forr cannot be found
thanks for your help..
Have the O2 XDA Exec myself, but the settings should be the same, checked with my Acer N50 to make sure
Leap is blank for me too.
some setting differences betweens yours and mine
neither the NE2000 or tiacswln cards have been touched in anyway, left them as default.
mine is set to connect to 'The Internet'
the key is provided for me automatically is unchecked, I manually typed it in with the key index.
use Ieee 802.1x is unchecked
check the belkin setup page, and see if the XDAIIi is staying connected or it is connecting and disconnecting.
looking at the manual, check the Belkin setup page at Firewall/Client IP Filters and make sure the PDA isn't being blocked there. Also check that the Mac Address Filtering is not enabled, if it is, you will need to add the PDA MAC address into it.
Hi Wytey
Thaks a lot, your configuration works perfectly.

Hi Guys!
I've been reading here as a guest for a while and finally took the leap to buy an iMate Jasjar. So far so good, buuuut...
I am trying to connect it to my home WiFi LAN and having some troubles.
The home WiFi AP is set to up as a gateway and connected to a router (ie AP = 10.0.0.10 and Router = 10.0.0.3). Therefore, a device connecting via a DHCP client which doesn't allow the gateway to be specified isn't very useful.
On the JasJar, I would like to be able to specify the IP, NetMask, Gateway, etc. Is there a way to do this?
Similarly, when I select the 'Configure Network Authentication' window on the JasJar and select Authentication = WPA and Data Encryption = TKIP, it auto-checks the 'The key is automatically provided' - which it isn't! The key needs to be manually entered.
Worse yet, in the next tab "Configure Network Authentication" it forces "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" for PEAP (not supported on my AP) or "Smart Card or Certificate" (I have no smart card and I have no idea how to issue a certificate).
So sorry to be asking what must seem like gross newb questions, but I'm so keen to use my Jasjar with my wifi.
Is there a chance someone might know the answers?
Kind Regards - Virgil.

Is your AP a brodband router if so check DHCP configurations add the gataway to your DHCP config.
Explain what device you have probably some one may help you.
Kind regards
Howlingwolf
Thanks for the reply.
The devices in question are:
* JasJar (PPC/PDA, etc)
* Linksys WRT54GC (AP)
There does not appear to be provision for a general routing entry (ie all connections route from 10.0.0.10 (the AP/Gateway) to the router (10.0.0.3)). Unless I'm really missing something.
Cheers - Virgil.
EDIT: Entered bad IPs.
i must have jacked something up. first i could not get a wifi connection at home, then i flashed the firmware on the device and asked it to use the mac to connect with static IP and now the pda browsers cannot get any DNS info
netfront states no dns server specified and wireless router log states DHCP Discover no response.
must be a setting somewhere i'm missing.
wireless laptop and wired pc working fine
you can really just use the ip of a known dns from the device too
all dns servers should respond from all devices asking for the ip given the hostname
setup
cable modem to wired linksys router (DHCP on) - DI-524 wireless router connected to wired router (DHCP on)
when you say 'known IP from device' you mean the wireless router? Do you mean have the wireless router give the PDA my ISP's DNS IP?
if so what happens to my ability to browse the LAN since the devices IP is now out of the scope of my LAN
SORRY I THINK I MEAN the error is
<< DNS Discovery no repsonse. >>>
basically no DNS server found when browsing with the PDA when connected to WLAN.
PDA is ok browsing when I connect to work routers. I'm getting IP ok from home wireless dlink router but router cannot give the PDA a DNS server.
ps- wireless laptop ok for DNS connecting to the same wireless router so i'm thinking the firmware update made the dlink not like the PDA
update- i think it's the device and a setting.
now i cannot get to the internet through netfront or ie at work connected to wifi router. same error
DNS no server is specified
can get anything by IP, is wm5 wifi challenged for internet access?
any takers?
In the past I would successfully set an Wi-Fi ad-hoc network between my PC (WinXP) and my phone (WM 6.1, Omnia) and shared my PC's internet connection to the phone. The PC used to get an IP 192.168.0.1 and in 20-30 seconds phone used to get an IP in the range 192.168.0.x and the phone successfully received internet from the PC's shared LAN connection. Both the PC and the device were configured to automatic IP address.
But sometimes (like now) I decide to change the wireless network connection's IP to Automatic (because I like automatic settings) and both PC and phone get IP in the range 169.254.x.x (after long waiting) and the phone doesn't have internet. If I manually change the Wireless Network Connection's IP (on the PC side) to 192.168.0.1, then the device gets the right IP (in the range 192.168.0.x) and everything is fine; it has internet.
The question is why when devices are set to automatic IP addresses they do not get the right ones - 192.168.0.x and the phone doesn't have internet.
EDIT: Ok, today I solved my problem. I found out that re-disabling and again re-enabling the internet connection sharing on the broadband LAN changes the IP setting of the wireless network connection from automatic to manual and sets manual IP 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and everything is fine. So if I change the wireless network connection's IP to automatic obviously I won't have internet and I either have to change it back to manual and enter 192.168.0.1 and subent 255.255.255.0 OR I have to re-disable and then re-enable internet connection sharing and this changes the wi-fi's IP to manual and sets it to (again) 192.168.0.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0
