Has anyone been able to connect successfully to a 802.1x wifi network at a college or workplace? I tried earlier today without any luck. I even manually created the network with the right credentials with no change. Does anyone have a simple how to for the Vibrant?
No problem conecting to my college 802.1n/g wireless network.
MY school's own is kinda hidden so you have to set it up manually first, but i basically just use 802.1x enterprise, add my username and p/w and it works fine, although at first it seemed i had to reset it up everytime i wanted to use it (not sure if i was in low signal areas of campus or what)

I have some kind of problem with my home network with hidden SSID. From time to time vibrant just wont contect to it. I have to delete the network and reset it up.
I can connect to my college wifi, but we have to then log in from that point, and I have not been able to get that to work. I read somewhere that this might be an android issue, can anyone confirm that?
I have not had a problem connecting to my schools wifi. We have for different buildings with four different access points and I connect without any issues.

Make sure your school network doesnt have MAC address filter on. If it does, add your device in your account.
My school does.

For some reason I can connect to the internet very easily through GPRS (even when roaming), but at home with my own wirelss LAN, I can connect with no problem, but each time I try to access anything on the internet, I get a pop-up stating "Could not locate remote server". I don't have a router, I am using a desktop as the gateway, I am currently accessing the net with my laptop through the same means. All configurations for the LAN appear to be correct, but I must be missing something on the JAMin. In the WiFi settings, I see the LAN, almost full signal - Ad hoc Mode - status is connected - I'm assigned an IP ... seems like everything is in order.
Will one of you wizards point out what I've missed? I know it's probably simple, usually is.
If I'm having trouble connecting a device to a network that has previously been working ok, the first that I do is turn off all network security i.e WEP, MAC address filtering etc. Then reboot the wireless access point/router and your device. If you still can't connect, you can start to blame your device.
Don't think it's a network prob...
Thanks Matterhorn, but my laptop is still connected fine, no problems there... I get the feeling that the PPC's only recognising the GPRS as a valid network for internet access... it works okay when I login to a commercial WiFi network (when I'm in the States) but for some reason on my own network here at home, it logs in, just can't find a server for some reason. The first thing I thought of was the firewall, turned it off and still no luck.
Any other ideas? I thought maybe there was a setting for default AP or connection, but can't find it, nor can I find an appropriate reference in the manual. Ugh!
Resolved!
It would seem my JAMin was trying to access the internet not through the gateway, but through my laptop. As I don't have the laptop setup to share an internet connection, it would allow my JAMin to connect, but that was all. I went in the room where my desktop is, registered on the network there and bingo!
Too simple, should have tried that right away but it didn't occur to me at the time. Thanks for the help anyway Matterhorn!
Hi All,
I am pulling my hair out over this problem, so I hope someone can help!!!
I have 2 HTC devices, a Touch HD & Diamond 2, I want them to connect to my Wifi at home. I'm using a Netgear WNR2000 router, my problem is that i can connect to the router fine, signal strength is good etc however when I launch Opera it wont display any internet pages & i just get page could not be displayed error.
I have looked in my settings & these are all set up right i think... I have tried connecting the Diamond 2 to a BT Business hub, this work's fine & connect's straight away being able to browse the internet.
I have found a work around for my problem however, this involves inputting my ISP DNS details onto the network card on both phones this will make them connect & i will be able to browse the internet. However i do not want to do this, as i also have a Blackberry 8900 & this connect's just find without any settings.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?? is it the router config or just these phones?? Im using TKIP-PSK also for my algorithm.
Thanks
Dan
You must set your router to assign IP adresses and the DNS servers automatically. In your routers configuration menu usually (192.168.1.1) may vary on different manufactures, there you should be able to set the DNS servers, and then assign them over DHCP, so your router acts as DNS sever but at the same time it contacts your ISP's DNS aswell.
I have a problem similar in yours in nature, so wanted to join this thread
A few days ago, I managed to unlock my Raphael. It was Japanese (HT-01A) so as a result the Radio needed downgrading in order to be able to unlock.
My problem now, which I cannot say for sure is due to the unlocking, is that my WIFI is misbehaving in a way never seen before. Before the Olipro unlock procedure, I had my WIFI connection fine (with WEP algorythm), with all apps needing internet functioning perfectly.
Now, I can connect to the net by GPRS, but not by WIFI. I cannot understand why this might be...Without WEP I can WIFI still, but WEP or any other encryption allows no data transfer.
ANY clues?
Just as curiosity, I see other people on the forum with later versions of OliNex Radio.
Mine is v1.10 yet I see v1.90.
is there an advantage if I change it?
Thanks!

What jasonches is saying is correct. You can set your router to your favorite DNS servers. If I'm not mistaken there should also be a setting to obtain DNS servers automatically.

I've seen a situation similar to this happen on a Netgear router which further strengthens my dislike for netgear products. Back up your settings on the router. Try flashing your router with the newest firmware from the manufacturer's website. Then, test connectivity using no encryption and then testing with encryption using short, easy to remember keys. Is there a reason you're not using WPA2? With WPA2 you can assign a short key to confirm that everything works and then switch to a more complicated key for better protection. WPA2 is also a stronger encryption algorithm than WEP.
I don't think unlocking has anything to do with WIFI connection. However, changing the radio or having an older one might interfere with connections. Upgrading to the newest radio is beneficial because it "should" drain the battery less, increase call quality and increase connectivity speeds. You should do serious research before upgrading your radio.

I have my htc setup to both internet sharing and Wi-Fi connection on my work PC with a lan connection. On both of these connections e.g. wired USB and wireless i can get the internet for about 3 minutes then it stops working. Is there some sort of block? I did see a while back that the WiFi app has no restrictions...
Any help would be superb.
Cheers
Baker0
Thats a little odd, there is certainly no block and I have had the wifi router running for a good 30-40 minutes without failing.
what part is failing, is the phone no longer running the wifi router, or is the pc no longer getting internet on that network connection?
If you need help on how to find this info just reply and I can walk you through some more diagnostic steps.
The phone is still running just the internet stops on the machine. I have to stop the wi fi on the phone then start again then connect. I think it might be t-mobile but the internet on the phone is fine
are you in the uk?
if you connect your laptop to the phone via the wifi router you should be able to right click the network logo, click on status and view the wifi network info, it should tell you in there if it has internet access on that network connection.
If you try this again and when it fails check this status window and see if windows is seeing an internet connection or not?
when the net fails again try and visit http://72.14.203.100/ (this should be the google homepage) if you see google then there is a dns problem if it still says network timeout or failed to connect or something like that then we will have to dig further.
LOL thanks for your help. I am in the UK. ive been working in IT for the last 12 years and I know and have done the test, its not the machine it has something to do with the phone or t-mobile network
Sorry to hijack your thread a little, but I'm on the T-Mobile Network in the UK too (except I'm using a Touch Pro with a custom ROM), and although I can make connections from the PC to websites using the IP address, the DNS isn't working so I can't resolve domain names.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve.

It must be the phone then since I do use wifi router, I am on t-mobile and in the UK and I do not experience this :S
I seem to be saying this more and more but maybe you should try a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem?

This is likely an issue with the way your machine has been setup to connect to the wifi network. Try visting the properties of the network and vieing the dns settings for the tcp/ipv4, It should be set as Obtain DNS server addresses automatically. If it is set like this then try setting it too 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 these are googles, dns servers if this works for you then you could stick with this or do some further digging as to why you are not getting the dns server addresses automatically like you should be.

Setting the DNS entries to Google's makes it work, but attempting to get the DNS Server's automatically leaves me with no ability to resolve domain names. How strange?
Thanks for the workaround, not sure where to start looking to fix it properly.

Hey guys,
I am new to this wifi router thing and got the following questions:
1. To be able to use it, you must have data connection with your provider. Am I right?
2. By any chance, can I use this system by using a sim taken out of a prepaid mobile broadband dongle and inserted into my device (htc touch HD)?
3. Once I get connected can I surf the internet/check emails etc from within the device itself without the need to use a laptop?
Please don't mind these basic stupid questions.
cheers
My HTC Desire HD Wifi has ALWAYS been working at my home wifi network.
Over the last few weeks, it has stopped working for no apparent reason. My pc as well as 3 other laptops work perfectly fine...
When I try to connect to my own wifi network at home now, it REFUSES to obtain an ip address and simply keeps disconnecting...
It however works fine elsewhere....
Anyway I can fix this problem or a simple way to manually connect to my home wifi network?
Thanks in advance...
hi
Have you checked that your security settings are the same on the router? also try and reset the router i.e. unplug for 2 mins blah blah. I know the lappys are working fine but this is what I would do.
I use to have issues like this with my HTC Hero, how i resolved it was by adding the phones MAC Code to the router software. Found in ( Security>Mac Filter ) depends on router! but is something like that. The down side is thou, you will have to add the mac codes from all your other devices to the router also, so everything connects to your ISP. It has the benifts of a more secure network.
Hmm, thanks for the possible answers so far.
It is strange. I just went to a friends house who also has wifi, I connected as normal.
It immediately connected with full reception. It seems that EVERYTHING connects and works as normal accept for my own home wifi...
I have tried resetting it, turning it on/off, it still does not want to obtain an ip address...
what is your make is your router?

It's Siemens Gigaset SE568
I would advise you against using MAC security on your router. Instead try to "forget" your home network (Settings->Wireless&networks->WiFi settings, then hold your home network and "Forget network") and then re-add your network. If this doesn't work try assigning static IP address (Settings->Wireless&networks->WiFi settings then tap "Menu" and "Advanced" but this will make connecting to hotspots more difficult (you'll have to uncheck the static address every time you need to connect).

Thanks for the response. I tried the forget wifi network and readd it, still a no go...
Strange how my phone works ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE accept for my own home network...
It's not important/urgent so I'm not too bothered. I just think it's strange why it refuses to obtain an ip address...

Did you try to asign a static IP address (don't forget to test if you are connected to the internet after/if this seems to work)? Then you'll know if the problem is with the DHCP service or something else.
Ok. Sorry, I miss understood your problem! First is the router assigning ip address via dhcp as you don't state?. So the static ip method, You can try, Im here to help not say what to do and not to try..But as your pc and laptops are working I don't think the problem with dhcp.
A very quick test is to set your router to a open network and try to connect. Does this now work when you try to connect? We will work backwards to solve your problem. Also are you using a wizard cd software from the router? Or connecting to the router software via the internet explorer?
e.g 192.168.0.1 ? etc.

Just tried the static ip address, still refuses to obtain an ip address...
As for the router, it's automatic, we simply turn on wi-fi on the computer/laptop, click the wifi network, put password and simply connect as normal....
Strangely my HTC Desire HD refuses to obtain an ip.
A few days ago I went to my brothers friends house for the first time, turned on wi-fi on my phone, went onto his network, put the password and it immediately connected without any problem...
I'm 100% sure the problem lies with my old piece of **** router, well it's not mine but my fathers and I cannot exactly tell him to throw it out the window it's complete ****...
What can I do simply to make the router work with my phone?
Is there any new device in the network? If there is turn off all wifi devices restart the ap and try to reconnect.
Try changing the ap name too.
Hope it helps!

Last resort might be to factory reset the router, then putting all the settings (e.g. WPA keys) back on.

The simplest way is to set your router to a open network. Then no key is needed by the phone. The phone SHOULD connect with no problems.
You then no its a key issue.

If it's not DHCP issue then it looks like authentication one. So wipe the router's configuration and if this doesn't work either I have another solution for you. It involves a hammer and an alibi
Hi
I'm currently using the stock 3.1 rom and prefer not to install custom roms. I can't connect to my university wifi network which uses EAP network. Is there any way to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot!
MY uni uses EAp with MSCHAP, I have no problems connecting, however they provide instructions for how to do it as well, have you spoken to your Uni's IT dept ?
[/QUOTE]=boganslaw;17588042]MY uni uses EAp with MSCHAP, I have no problems connecting, however they provide instructions for how to do it as well, have you spoken to your Uni's IT dept ?[/QUOTE]
I haven't talked to them, but when trying to connect, we put in ID (email) and password. Then it usually connects just fine. My previous tablet worked just fine and my laptop worked fine with the network too. Is there something else that I need to put in in other spaces when I type my ID and password? There were spaces for other stuff, but I have no idea what those are. HOWEVER, other devices connected just fine without filling out those..
EDIT: I just checked my university website for how to connecting it, and it says it's PEAP type, and WPA2, AES, etc..not sure what those are, but..
And it also says that the authenticate method is Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2). So I assume it's the same as yours? But I don't know why it wasn't connecting.. It kept saying "connecting..." and does nothing. I can connect to home network just fine. Help please!
