Im facing a very stange problem with my phone.
I have wifi at home that i can connect and surf the net with my laptop at any time with no probs.
With my HTC i do get connected but i cannot surf the internet, unless i do a reset of my wifi modem. Now when i do reset and start surfing the net, and disconnect, in a few hours if i do try to get connected, i do get the same problem.
The thing is, i can get connected and do a wb surf at any other wifi spot secured or not, with no problems at other places...
My modem was checked and it was found to be in perfect operating condition.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
security settings i had the same problem

Hi,
Got my Jasjar today and very happy with it. I am in and out of a LOT of Wifi zones daily so was wondering if there is a way, when WiFi and GPRS are both on and im in a WiFi area all net connections use WiFi not GPRS/3G if both are active.
I did a test and it seemed my messenger program was still using the GPRS connection when on the WiFi Network.

I need to get a proper answer - but I have discovered this.
I walked home from work the other day on MSN using 3G.
I arrived home, and the unit picked up my WiFi signal and connected.
I then dropped the phone (radio) link using the control panel.
The MSN connection remained active, and I remained on WiFi even when bringing up the phone radio again. WiFi was definately being used in this instance.
I wasn't able to tell whether or not this would work WITHOUT turning the phone part off and back on again.
Yeah that is whats happening here. I put on GPRS monnitor and set it to watch the GPRS connection only and hit my WiFi spot, even when wifi was connected it was still using the GPRS to send/recieve internet data. If I then turn off GPRS the it carrys on as if nothing had happened on Wifi.
With the cost of mobile Data these days it really should always default to a connected WiFi connection if its available and not the GPRS/3G connection.
I suppose a utility that disconnected GPRS when a WiFi connection becomes active would effectively do this as once you are out of the WiFi spot GPRS would be initiated to make connection.

hi all...
i just purchased a mda vario 2 and i seem to be having problems connecting to internet explorer and msn messenger via wifi. i have set up the wifi connection and it all shows that i am connected. but it just doesnt find any pages or connects to my messenger. any ideas guys? i know most of the topics on here are to do with some form of connection problem or what not.... so i will appreciate any advice.
settings->connections->Connections->advanced->sellect network
odd ms havent addres'd this a long time agoe judging for how many people who ask this question
but then guess it's the same thing for pc users who wanna change between their internet access between wifi, nic and modem
I don't think that this is the issue because my wm5 os seamlessly switched from wifi to gprs.. I see the same issue where I can access the new through the gprs setting but not through the wifi when connected to an access point. I know that the wifi accesspoint works cause I can access it on my laptop. I think it has to do with a registry setting..
I have had intermittant problems with tethering my laptop via an 8525 since the release of the att2.15 rom. sometimes it would work correctly, sometimes intermittantly, sometimes not at all. After trying numerous combinations of proxies on and off, and various connection settings, I have finaly isolated what i believe to be the problem. When my wifi adaptor is turned on, IE on the laptop appears to prefer to connect to the internet via wifi instead of the usb connection to my hermes device. I do not have an internet connection on the wifi router/hub at my home. Is there a simple explanation for this that one of you network gurus could educate me with? Does anyone else experience this?
There is no broadband access at my residence (rural area) other than satellite or cellular. The wireless router is functioning only as a network for several computers and printers at my home. It is a hassle to lose my tethering connection every time i need to access wifi to print, or get data from another machine.
Any info would be appreciated.
I attached poll because i wondered how often people are using this functionality.
mthomas,
I just flashed up to the 2.15 ROM last night. Internet Sharing would never stay running on my laptop. I had my wireless card active on the laptop as well. It worked fine before I updated the ROM.
Edit:
I turned off my wifi card and still have the problem. After a few minutes of internet sharing, my laptop cannot recognize the the phone.
Hi Guys
My G1's having trouble holding my WiFi connection. I have a Qwest DSL connection and, although the phone remains connected to WIFI, pages stop loading. The connection works but seems like it gets timed out. It's weird b'cos it's just MY WiFi connection this keeps happening on. The phone holds on to connections at work and to even my friends DSL.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any input would be appreciated
Cheers

Could be your phone, could be your wireless router... Would need more information to diagnose.
it's going to be ur wireless router i have the linksys N and it dose not see it i put up a linksys B router works fine
Does your screen timeout by any chance?
I believe the wifi shuts off when the screen times out to perserve battery.
Since now i was surfing the Net using wi-fi via my modem at home or at work.
Since last Sunday though, i get wi-fi connection to both my modems, but for some reason i cant get an internet connection. For sure the problem is not on my wi-fi modem cause i can get internet connection when using my laptop. Any ideas would be appreciated.
SOLVED ....
how did you solve your problem ... i have the same... thank's
Accidentally both of my wi-fi modems at home and at work were problematic
