hi!
I have problem connect internet using wi-fi on htc hd2.
Pda is connecting ok to router and when I open IE I am getting: cannot find server or dns error...
Folks, can U help, please!
Same problem!
I have exactly the same problem! I was able to connect to the internet via WiFi till two days ago. Then I have installed few usual applications (Resco file manager, couple of Touch X app. etc) and WiFi connection to the net is impossible, now. I have tried on few networks, but result was the same: it connects to the router, but not to the net...
Check this
settings - wireless controls - tap wifi (not the toggle, the words) - advanced - change network - tap the name of your wifi connection -
Check that 'connects to' says 'the internet' and NOT work. If it says 'work' it wont work.
Thanks, but that was not the reason... I clear storage, and now it works
It is set to Internet... Do you have some other idea Samsamuel? My storage seems to be OK: Program memory 55%, Storage memory 57%.
With "clear storage"(Start>settings>menu>all settings>System>Clear storage) I mean reset device to factory settings and configure again wifi settings and everything else reinstall all programs... do not to forget backup Your data
OK, thanks. I hope it will solve the problem...

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem. You must disable de Firewall of the router and it will solve the problem !!!!

Hi everybody, I've just recieved my wireless LAN card and I'm having troubles finding documentation on how to do what I want to do. I actually want to do three things with my PDA once WiFi is working.
A I'd like to be able to ActiveSync through WiFi instead of connecting the cable. My laptop has a wireless LAN card, but I don't know how or if I need to set up a special connection between the two.
B I would like to be able to connect with my Magician through my laptop, so I can use its internet connection on my Magician.
C My Magician should also be able to connect to a wireless access point at my college, maybe I can have two network settings on my Magician so I wouldn't have to switch between them all the time?
Thanks very much from a Magician newbie .
Alright, scrap B, I managed to do that but I had to turn off WEP... If anyone knows how to keep the connection secure, let me know . But syncing still doesn't work via WiFi.
Edit: Scrap A as well, with a little bit of tinkering I think I got it done .
I can get all the items working but using my Wi-Fi network and not an Ad-Hoc.
All you need to do is go into Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> Here you select the "Internet" for both. This way you I use IE or email etc it connects into the internet and when I select Active Sync it also connects via the internet setting where it see's my "ActiveSync" running on my PC and connects. Make sure the tick box is tick against "Allow Network" in the activesync settings.
As for the Work side of things i dont have a wi-fi network but from memory once you set up the "Network Cards" on your PPC it will connect to which ever one it see's first, someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Hi, my spectec suddenly stopped working. The list show my wifi as available but am unable to go on the net. I have tried reinstalling the driver, doesn't work. This started yesterday, I have not changed or install anything else. Could it be a faulty card or faulty mini ? My wifi is working great on my notebook. WEP is off. What else can I do ? Thanks.
If all fails I try a hard reset and only install the Wi-Fi driver and go from there.
Do a complete backup with say Sprite Backup that way you can restore your PDA back to original.
The other option is to use the modified driver from the E300 Card found in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27069&highlight=spectec+e300
But you need to uninstall the SPECTEC driver first.
Thanks ampda. Have uninstalled the spectec and will use the E300 as suggested. See how this works. Will only go to hard reset as a last resort or perhaps just wait for the universal ??? :lol:

Hellow, can you learn me how to connect active sync via wifi please ? Thank you. I have that same card
Alright, on your PC ActiveSync:
- File -> Connection Settings. I marked the USB and Ethernet options.
On your PDA:
- Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. Here select the network your PDA should connect to. It should connect to "The Internet", on the tab "Network key" I have selected Open and Disabled, because I use an ad-hoc connection.
That should do it, just hit sync on your PDA !
You may have to disable and enable your wireless connection on your PC to get things to work.

On my active sync 4 i don't see ethernet options[/b]
I'm using version 3.8 and I see that option :O! Here, let me take a screenshot for you.
ActiveSync 4 has no syncing over network, it has been taken out. Go back to 3.8 if you wanna use it.

OK thank you
You know MS developers have o get AS4 ready for the WM 5.0 release because WM 5.0 needs AS4. They were a little lazy so they got deadline problems and have to take network sync out for now. They will put it back in in a future update but AS4 as well as AS4.1 dont offer it right now.
it don't ghet it to work
can anyone help me on how to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi without using GPRS.

Hi I have a O2 Atom and tried connecting WI-FI with my Laptop but it would not. Can you tell me the procedure. I tired turning the Wifi on but it will not. I went to settings>connections>wifi Utility>Menu>Turn On Wifi but it just shows satuts as Wifioff. I checked in Menu>about and it shows Driver Version: Wifi not enabled, Firmware Version: Wifi not enabled, Mac Address: Wifi not enabled.
I am using the latest ROM Official update. What could be the problem? Is there any tweak to solve this problem. Please assist someone.
if you have the latest ROM, use wireless manager to turn on wifi.
tap on anthena on upper bar, then tap "wireless manager", then turn wifi on.
regards
Wifi OFF Will not turn on
I tired it but it would not turn on. I can turn on and off the radio or the bluetooth but the wireless. Would not go on. So I tired through Settings as mentioned before but that too does not help. Please tell me what I can do?
1. Run selftest, to be sure, that it isn't hardware problem
2. Try HARD RESET
In your notebook configure wireless software to Ad Roc, default is infrastructure
I tired Self Diagnostic and the WLAN Module Test Detected a Mac Addr: 02-02-b3-92-a8-c4. Then I reset and then tried to turn it on but does not turn on.
I checked my computer settings and it is set to Ad-Hoc. :?
Please someone assist me
I have noted one thing for sure that when I am away from my computer and have checked the wireless Manager shows the Wifi: Off.
When I click Menu > Wi-fi Settings it goes to creating a new profile. But when I am close to this laptop I want to connect to the profile page does not show. :!: :!:
WHY is this happening :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
SOLUTION to WIFI Problem In O2 Atom
I had tremendous problems with my O2 WIFI which would not connect to my laptop WIFI LAN Network. I asked O2 People & Lot of people on this and other forum but got no perfect response.
Practically trying many options I by chance put back the old ROM upgrade of O2 2006123-45 and tried switching on the WIFI and lo and behold it worked fine.
Then I reload the new ROM 20060426 again and it works fine.
This proves that if you reload the NEW Upgrade ROM more than once it locks the WIFI.
Wi-fi Shut-off when we do the first activesync.
I tried closing all programs by going to settings => memory => running programs => close all.
After that I did the soft reset and started the process "Start => Settings => Connections => WiFi Utility => Menu => Turn on WiFi.
Menu => Jump to Network Cards 3. Under Wireless, select your desired network. (If your network is hidden, kindly tap on "Add New")
Enter your network name (if needed), proceed to Network Key.
Select your Authentication, Data Encryption type and your Network key.
Proceed to 802.1x if needed (it is usually disabled)
Tap on Ok, go to Network Adapters => O2 Wi-Fi Wireless Adapter
Configure your IP and Name Server if needed. (If your network allows automatic assign, you might want to exclude this portion)
Tap on Ok, Ok. Proceed to WiFi Status, check if the status is Connected and IP Address is obtained.
Kindly try to use Internet Explorer to surf the internet"
and started the Wi-fi but it would not go on it showed Wi-fi off instead of the routine radio off.
When if went to Wi-fi => about. It showed Driver: Wi-fi not enabled, Firmware Version: Wi-fi not enabled, MAC Address: Wi-fi not enabled.
I tried the hard reset also yet the Wi-fi would not turn on.
So I reinstalled latest version 20060426-mot0822 of the Atom and before I did activesync I ran the Wi-fi and it worked well . After the first Activesync the same problem started.
For Activesync I am using the new version 4.5.0, Build 5059, Beta taken from the Microsoft site where it has the facility to keep on the Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop yet the Wi-fi switches off.
There seems to be a problem with you software and your technical department needs to study it deeply and provide a suitable solution for it
Will it be the same if we will to connect to the internet in a hotspot area???
Dude i had the same problem..use the wi fi companion program i got off the net (illegal srry cant post it here)..it has fixed all my wi fi problem.
pocket msn
When I access my wifi... I can surf my internet but I can't sign in my pocket msn messenger. How shuold I fix it?

Wifi doesnt work if you are using the usb port as it will connect to your computer. I guess that is the problem for you?
Dear ALL,
I need to know how to disable data Connection (Edge, 3G), because my device sometimes connect to Edge or 3G service automatically, I dont have any running programms that needs data connection or auto update !!!
At the same time I want my phone to connect only when recieving MMS messages !
Please advice !
Hi there,
you can install 'HD Tweak' and Disable the items in 'Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA)'.
You can also try Nodata application from Modaco
=> http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
Edit : Caution, Nodata stop ALL data (MMS too) so cymagnus's solution is better
nodsata can toggle mms on/off.
I cant get that HD Tweak to open, all i get is a long page full of codes and such, any suggestions?

Can you not do it manually like this? Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections button/Advanced tab/Select Networks button. Then in the pop up where it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Select "MY ISP".
I think MMS will still run?
I have done it and it works, thanx alot

ahmad which way worked for u??, i think if u go to phone, options, band, select your network choose GSM, THAT will solve the problem
It's very easy and you don't need any tools!
Just go to Start--> Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Secelct Networks and select 'My Work Network' from the dropdown menus.
after selecting "my work network," my main screen still shows the icon "E" does it mean anything?

Having loaded Nodata and then Tweak and found it also had a 'nodata' element I then discovered the HD built in Connection settings.
Seems to work fine.

Means you have an EDGE connection.
nodata its good and works fine on my HD
Hi. I'm not shure what you wanted to do but i'm having the following problem:
In network management if I have selected "programs ...that connect to the internet should use->Mobile Internet" then it allways uses this connection, even if i'm on wifi....and that's not good for me. If i select "my work network" and i'm not connected to wifi, it doesn't go to gprs.
I don't want to manualy set Data connection off every time i'm on wifi and then turn on when i want to use gprs/3g.
How do you do it?

If you select "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using "yourproviderGPRS" (or whatever you have got that is relevant to data connection) it should connect to the internet using WIFI when WIFI is enabled and GPRS when WIFI is off. That's how mine works anyway. If I set it to "my ISP" GPRS will not autimatically connect until I manually change the settings. Hope that makes sense.
It maybe is a poor mans solution, but whenever I travel abroad I simply switch to a copy of my active account in which I deleted the password of my dataconnection. That way i am sure it won't connect. Whenever it tries to connect it will simply ask for the pw first.
You are on an active data connection only when you see the "E" as part of the 4 bars cell phone signal icon.
Not sure ? Then just tap the title bar where you see the "E" and the grey "System Status" screen comes on. here, tap on the "E" icon here and you will see the connectivity status message that says something like "No active connections" or similar.
Basically the E means that you are on "EDGE" signal.
Hope this helps !!
Cheers !!

Has anybody worked out who has the final say?
I have the Standard Built In Connections, NoData and HDTweak.
From what I can see the Built in gets overridden, i.e. with Built In set to Off using the Internet outside of a WiFi area, stills connects via the cell network.
I think adjusting the settings as suggested previously is the best route.

What exactly is the problem? When connected via wifi, you are unable to surf the net, update stock & weather? Or is it just internet access?
Go to Settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adaptors and set 'My network cards connects to' to 'the internet'
Would also change Settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode and set this at best performance
Let me know if this works
Is the problem with just surfing the internet, or no internet at all? You can try to update the weather and/or stocks, just to see if the problem is with the connectivity (in which case you should try to follow the previous advice) or with the browser itself (for example with Black Perl ROM the first time you open Opera, there is a problem with rendering of the page, so you have to close it and reopen again).

i've tried the settings but it seems to appear the same problem...
when i try to open yahoo, it says "could not locate remote server, bla bla bla... make sure your internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection working".
i also tried to update the weather and it says "there was a connection error while attempting to download weather data".
any idea?

Are you connected to active sync or wmdc while you are trying to access the net (i.e. do you have your phone plugged into you pc)?
Check |START|SETTINGS|CONNECTIONS|USB To PC| and make sure you have "Enable advanced network functionality" checked.
If all else fails, soft reset, if that fails... hard reset
If in Internet explorer is ok then Check opera:config for a wrong proxi !
(opera keep setings from last conections)

my hd wasnt connected to pc... i even tried to connect using my 3g...
the 3g is connected but still cant browse the internet... i dont think theres a problem with my opera... since i tried to update the weather it appears the same errors..
I had this problem today - wifi connected but opera and weather updates not working.
I selected
Start->Settings->Connections(tab)->Connections(icon)->Advanced->Select Networks
and set "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" = "My Work Network" (was "Orange Internet").
This worked fine and I can now surf and download. I don't know if it will affect my 3g connection yet but I will try it later.
install schaps advanced config and disable "Proxy Auto Detection" in Internet Explorer section
Is your problem similar to this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508418
Sorry for not having the solution, just trying to determin what would be the cause.
Which firmware do you have?
perhaps it will be easier to change it directly in the registry.
one can see that this is not relevant to internet explorer only.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000

Thanks, this solution worked for me as well. Wifi and 3g both work with "My Work Network"
email doesnt work using data connection, only wlan...how to fix that or you cant fix that?
yep. have had the same issues.. even weirder is that the internet does work but not mail.. not sure if restarting might help, I gave up.
Everything works for me too, just email doesnt update itself when I press receive and send, not even data connection is established.
I have same problem with live msn, but there at least connection establish itself, but then I get connection error...
Everything else using data connection works...
I've found exactly the same thing - some applications only seem able to access the internet when my HD2 is plugged in to my PC or using wifi.
make sure in settings/all settings/connections/connestions under your proxy settings you do NOT use the "connect using proxy server"
My phone provider uses proxy, in manual setting is written you should select this option...if i set it off...everything will work or settings there will be deleted and i will have problems with internet connection then...?
For my provider (Vodafone) the written instructions are to use proxy also, however without it all is working-class perfect, mail AND internet. just try it. At the customerservice they told me that for the high-speed connections as the HD requires the standard settings simply aren't correct.
i had exactly the same problem and i figured out that it was because the opera / connection registry tweaks ive found in "Leo Hints&Tips" thread... Reverted everything to original values and it worked for me ...
I dont use any tweaks except bsb tweak and email didnt work before i had bsb tweaks...
I have almost the same issue... Everything works over the data connection except Remote Desktop.
Proxy disabled btw. What gives?
