I think this is a general problem so I'm posting it here.
I have an Omnia II connected with Globe Telecoms in the Philippines. I can surf using HSDPA/3G + Opera Mobile without any problems.
Recently I tried to connect my laptop using Internet Sharing. I connected the phone, ran the app, and nothing happened.
I then installed WMWifiRouter and found out that the problem was the IP address (I am not getting one). I managed to find a workaround: open Opera first, let it connect, then open Internet Sharing. Doing this, I am assigned an IP and can successfully surf.
The question is, does anyone know why I am not getting an IP? Does it have anything to do with the settings or Opera?

I got me a new 2i, and now want to use the wifi function from home as well as hotpspts etc.
I got me a Linksys Wireless-G 54mbps Broadband Router (Back compatibale with 11 b)
Any usefull tips on which software I can use to connect to my home pc and browse to my documents/mp3's/ etc and stream to the 2i?
Also with this I would like to be able to set up a VPN from the 2i so i can remotley connect to my desktop pc when away from home, and do this from a hotspot etc.
Any advise?
Thanks
Just use pocket IE or file explorer and type in the UNC path of the location on your home PC, e.g. \\HOMEPC\MYMUSIC.
Could you let me know which version you are using for the XDA IIi and which model WAP? I've been trying to get my IIi to work with a 3COM OfficeConnect WAP to no avail (both work and home). Work WAP is carrying about 5 different client WIFI cards (and a HP IPAQ). Home WAP is carrying 3 different WIFI cards. No problems in either case. Just my XDA IIi is unhappy. Home WAP is running the lastest firmware from 3COM and Work WAP is running original firmware. My XDA IIi doesn't work with either. I have managed to get the XDA to WIFI on a neighbour's WAP working. Which seems to indicate that XDA IIi is OK.
I've seen another post where there was a problem with a linksys 54g / XDA IIi
Similiar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20178
Anybody got any ideas?
UPDATE: Got IP address @ work wap from MS DHCP server. Can ping/traceroute using vxUtils, but the device doesn't appear to "know" it's connected. IE, etc still tries to use GPRS.
wifi and vpn
I am also unable to keep a vpn connection going with my wifi. Any help appreciated.

I managed to establish a connection and got access to the internet via a VPN-Server in the local network connected via Wifi to my XDA mini. I had also problems with vpn connection going down.
Unfortunately I have some troubles with my Wifi card, so I don't have the exact settings. But AFAIR the problem was solved by doing this:
- Going to Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Execptions
- Using New URL to add "*" and "*/*".
(I have a german version, so I'm not sure, how the buttons are labled in english)
I think the problem is, that the software thinks, VPN connects always to the INTRAnet at your workplace. By adding this "Exections" you tell the device, that the hole internet is included in the intranet.
Maybe there is a routing tool for PPC which can solve this, too?
Hello,
Well I hope I'm putting this post in the right place, if not please move it. I have a 8525 with cingular. I need vpn access for my office connection from my laptop. We use a Fortiwifi 60 with the Forticlient software for VPN access. I used it with the old wireless modem settings on my 8525 and it worked with both wap. and isp. I recently upgraded to the new offical rom and used it fine (without trying the VPN access) for a few weeks. I went on my first trip last week and could not connect to the vpn. It would verify PSK and X-AUTH but fails to pull an ip address. I tried it with a static ip and it failed as well. When I check my connection monitor it shows no data coming back from my vpn gateway. I tried it on the hotel's internet and it works fine. I also tried another wifi signal and it worked as well. I changed the media net settings to go through isp instead of wap but that didn't help. Does anyone else have this problem with there VPN settings? I wonder if it is the new type of connection sharing or a change to the Cingualr network? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had the same problem with another IPsec client with this ROM. For some reason I could not get Internet Connection sharing to work when connected via USB. Bluetooth pan worked. The VPN client was not binding to the ICS/usb adapter. I have since upgraded to WM6...Sleuths ROM...and USB/ICS now works.
Well I tried the phone on another computer and the vpn works just fine. I guess it's something on that computer. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try reinstalling the virtual adapter in hopes that it is a binding issue (thanks to tco for that). I'll let you know if I figure it out.
hey, ive been scooping on here for a while and this is my first post.
ive searched for over an hour and i havent found the answer.
i downloaded internet sharing cab and installed it, it runs fine on my wm6, but when i connect it to my laptop using usb, the laptop cant get the IP address.
it eventually says limited connection on my laptop. any ideas?
TIA
Cliff
I can tell you from experience (i connect this way) that you don't need to install anything on your laptop exept for active sync (i think the latest one is 4.5) after you do that you enable internet sharing in your wing ( start/programs/accessories/internet sharing) after you enable it you connect your wing to your laptop, at that point your laptop should regognize your phone as a network connection. you can now browse the net.
if you're on the 5.99 proxy there is one more step. you have to configure Internet explorer to use the proxy. I don't remember everything off the top of my head but I think it goes like this settings/ connections tab/lan settins/proxy server
from there you just enter the same proxy and port that you did on your wing. you should now be able to surf.
the thing is, my phone is unlocked and im on the cingular network. i have all the settings for it. internet explorer works on my phone.(i get internet on my phone)
when i connect it to my laptop, it detects it like its supposed to, BUT it doesnt get the IP address. if you have anymore info, let me know
thanks

My searches on the web haven't yielded much help or information so I thought I would come to the experts...
I have a Treo 750 that I just "upgraded" to WM6 2 days ago. I noticed that DUN has gone away and was replaced by ICS. After configuring my laptop to use that instead of DUN I connected and was surfing the web. My problem now is VPN. I travel frequently (luckily I'm in the office until Jan.) and regularly used my phone to connect to the corporate network via VPN. I also work with a lot of other companies and have VPN access to their systems as well. Basically now I can open my Cisco VPN client, connect to a VPN gateway, authenticate, get assigned all the appropriate IP information, but cannot communicate on the network. What gives? Is there a solution to this? If not, what the heck was MS thinking when they did this!? My phone is basically useless for one of the major reasons I bought it...
Any help is appreciated!
thanks!
Ok, further searches found that DUN can be added back into WM6 via a cab that was posted here at the XDA forums. I installed it and the DUN service is now visible again. I unpaired by phone and laptop, re-paired, and included DUN. Now when I try to connect, I get the DUN connection box after the bluetooth connection is initiated but when I click DIAL I get the DIALING... prompt, followed by Error 678: The remote computer did not respond.
Anybody get this working on a Treo 750? Thoughts, ideas suggestions?
What is the ip address you are getting via the cisco vpn client
It maybe that it is in the same subnet as the ip address assigned to the pc from the wm6 ics. The ICS gives the address 192.168.0.1. and if your Cisco is also giving a 192.168 address then you will have two routes for the 192 address range thus giving you the problem when accessing hosts.
If this is the problem Im pretty sure you can change the address allocated via the ICS using a registry editor. If not you may be able to get work to use a different range for you on the cisco vpn.
Our corporate network is 172.x.x.x so it's nowhere near the 192.168.0.x assigned by the phone. When I look at the route in the VPN client I see 192.0.0.0, 10.0.0.0, and 172.0.0.0 so I am assuming 192 is my laptop, 10 is the phone, and 172 is the corporate network.
I'm guessing NATing is the problem. I've been reading that if I use a different APN (isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular) there is no NATing. I've tried both, and I've tried turning off and on the "force AT&T" proxy setting to no avail.
Tried the DUN cab hack that is floating around for WM6 also. The service is active again and I can also add Modem Link back in and my laptop sees my Treo as a modem but when I dial I get an error stating the remote computer did not respond. I'm guessing along with going from WM5 to WM6 AT&T also updated the radio so the old communications protocols don't work anymore?
Hello Sir,
I have exactly the same problem... I have successfully connected via VPN, however unable to communicate with any devices on that network... Then what is the use of VPN on the phone? I've tried searching online for answers, but no luck... People are having the same problem but no one knows how to solve it... I'll try and trouble shoot this problem more as soon as my exams are done...
Hi
Working successfully for me. I am using Imate jasjam wm6. Pc using cisco client connecting via ics on phone. I have telstra 3g connection tested ok on both telstra.internet (Nated ip) and telstra.extranet (real ip).
You are correct it may be an nat issue. Can you check that your transparent tunnelling is on as follows: right click on your connection entry in cisco client and select modify then transport tab. Check that enable transport tunneling is enabled ipsec over udp(Nat/pat).
The other thing to check is that the cisco vpn server aslo has transport over Nat on as well.
Also are you sure your corporate ip range is 172 or is that the range given by the cisco vpn to clients.
Transport tunneling is on (always was). I'll have to check with our network admin and check on the VPN server setting...I guess as long as I have connectivity back to the office, I don't need it that badly for all the customers I need to connect to at various times.
Yep, positive on the corporate IP. Right now it is 172.28.1.87 and I'm in the office.
Thanks for the help so far. Got any other suggestions on how I can troubleshoot further?
One other thought...should I modify the registry on the phone to assign a different IP address to my laptop? Would that help?
Same Problem
MX. I am having the exact same issue but with Securemote VPN. I've looked through the registry and found the assigned address, but I'm wary of changing anything until I can find some more information.
Anyone out there ever change the DHCP configuration for their phone?
Somewhat related question?
Im attempting to route my connection on my mobile through a laptop acting as a wan bridge, then uplinking it into the router. The issue Im having is that XP and WM6 both use the same IP Block. Ive read and read and cant find much to tell me how to change the WM6 IP BLock to something like 192.168.2.1 rather than the default 192.168.0.1
Does anyone have any pointers? Ive looked through the registry. There MUST be a simple way to change a default.
To clarify my setup, I am using ICS Via USB into a UMPC laptop running XP. The UMPC is set to share that same connection back out over Ethernet. The ethernet runs into my WAN Uplink on the router and then back out via wifi/rj-45
This setup works as I have done it using Wifi with other networks, and I can chose the "Lan3" to share under the advanced settings on the UMPC. The reason I dont just share out via Wifi from the start is that Wifi on my Kaiser and Raphael both make the device to hot to charge, thusly killing the battery within a couple hrs of sharing. If I share via USB , it stays pretty cool and still charges.
Anyone have any pointers?
I have already tried tricking XP into using the Lan on another block but as soon as you try to share the USB lan, it reverts back to the 192.168.0.1
The only way I can imagine is a registry modification or a program change in ICS.
Thanks Much!
Hi everyone...
I have a touch HD that is not getting anything from the Internet even though it is connected to the wireless network. I was told that this problem started when the new proxy server was implemented and it applies to all windows mobile devices. I have checked the proxy settings and they are right. The Internet works fine at home... it just does nothing at my work.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
By the way... I have tried the solutions mentioned around here - like changing the channel - and nothing works.
Hi,
im facing the same problem and i suspect my WLAN access point. It works on all Wireless unless mine at home. I`m using a Zyxel Router.
Are you using DHCP? The answer from zyxel was to change the ip settings on my HD to static - means manual IP, Gateway and DNS.
It works now for a minute or so but then again dead. Now using data flat from my mobile company.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nils
Thanks for your reply...
I have tried that.. but I cannot get anything to work...
I will try again... although one solution I want to try is to find a way to share my laptop's connection with my mobile and use it while I am close to it... but wireless connections cannot be share it seems...
anyway, thanks.
sounds more like it's you adhoc wifi on the laptop which is the problem
you have to set it up to work on the laptop for it to ever share with a pda
Actually it connects to the wireless router. There are three access points at work and I have tried to connect to them all. The only difference between these and my home wireless connection is the proxy server at work. I tried every possible solution with no success.
Anyway.. I will try something new when the weekend is over.
Thanks anyway.
OK. So this is how it is:
I got the internet to work by using a fixed IP instead of the dynamic IP assigned to me by the DNS. Once I supplied my username and password I could access the Internet. However, the touchflo interface cannot access it.
Is there a way to configure the HTC touch flo interface to set the proxy for it?
Regards
