hope you are fine guys, my situation is the next one: when i connect the wildfire to my home wifi it conects fine i out the password and everything, but when i try to use the internet or any other aplication that requires it it doesnt work, as i had read, it maybe the password, i also read that this cellphone only uses wireless b&g, my router is a linksys wireless b 802.11b, so any one knows how to proceed?
another thing is that in the router menu my password is under WEP option, dies it have to do anything with the WPA and that?
thats all for now i hope its clear, thanks.
i changed the password from WEP to WPA pre shared key, but still nothing, anyone?

Hi!
I do have problem to connect the device (o2 xda mini S) to WLAN. It recognizes the network, asks for the WPA-PSK key and then attempts to connect - but fails.
If I configure the device with a static IP this IP shows up during the
connection process after a while but the device isn't connected anyway.
If I use DHCP I get no IP ever.
I also tried a very simple 8 alphanum character key.
What may be wrong here?
I hope you get an answer soon, because I have the same problem. Enter the key, then no connect. I also tried it with security turned off on the router, no connect. This thing connected every time before 2.26 ROM update.
bump - having the same issue

Hope there's a reply; having the same issue but I think it's router specific too. I am on Dlink DI-614+ and a friend of mine who has DI-524 (i think) has no problem connecting reconnecting.
if you figure out a way to get it to work, please PM me... I have not figured out this problem yet.
I might try to disable all of my router settings (WEP).. but that would only mess my already configured other devices up.
Stupid question, but is it a B/G router or is it configured to only do one of them ?
Well, I got it to work by disabling encryption and leaving the AP all open...
So, apparently the software has some WPA-PSK-related bugs
Same thing with 2.24a Mr.Clean. Open AP works fine, and any encryption messes the whole thing up. The connection is done, it even gets the IP - and continues to blink arrows and no data comes through.
Windows Mobile only knows TKIP but as I was using AES and wanted to continue using AES on the other machines I configured the router to provide "TKIP and AES". Well, this didn't work but TKIP only actually works now.
I've been having the same problems, could connect to unsecured networks, no problems. The thing would just refuse to connect to my home WLAN (Belkin 54G set to B/G), secured with WPA-PSK and TKIP data encryption. However, just updated the router's firmware from the Belkin website, and BINGO!!!! It found the router, I entered the key and immediately connected, fast too. Just try updating the firmware of your router!
I agree on the router upgrades. And some routers are just crap, sorry to say. I've had bad luck with Belkins and Netgears. Linksys and D-Link typically give me much less problems. You also need to make sure that you installed the registry settings to enable G networks on you device (of course)
I have a Sonicwall using WPA-PSK with no problems.
I personally like molski's tweaks to make the necessary registry settings on my device ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58438
Hope I was of some help.
OK US Robotics MAXG router. All set up, laptops etc working fine. I got the mini s and the xda2i working on it too.
Then i went and stuck the security on it
WPA2 and WPA (PSK)
TKIP and AES
entered all the correct stuff on the computers and working ok.
with both the XDA's it says trying to connect but wont.
I ve looked in the distruction books for both 2i and mini s but they just say you might need to enter some password!!!
so mini s and xda 2i settings are
general tab
network name 'xxxxxxxxx'
connects to 'the internet'
network key tab
authentication 'wpa-psk'
data encryption 'tkip'
network key 'correct entry for my sys'
key index 'greyed out'
802.1x tab
nothing changeable but set to
use ieee 802.1x net access control
eap type 'smart card or cert
they both sit there saying my network is available but wont connect.
anyideas whats going on??

I recall a similiar problem some time ago and as far as I can remember I solved it by changing the encryption to WEP. It's worth a try.
Cheers.

cheers.... dont want to go to WEP as its crackable in under 5mins by a novice now!!
Seems a bit silly that the XDA's have the apparent ability to do this encription but then won't work.

Is WEP really that hackable??
heres the info i found on it.

worth a read.
I'm using the exact same router with the same wireless security config. While other clients can connect to the router using WPA or WPA2 with TKIP or AES encryption, my TyTN simply refuses to connect.
After some intensive trial/error, I figured out the problem to be the TyTN itself, which simply can't get associated with the router when both TKIP and AES is selected on the router. Changing the WPA encryption to TKIP only while keeping both WPA and WPA2 authentication on the MAXg router solved the problem (no need to use the less secure WEP encryption).
Hope this helps.

cheers, i have been playing with my settings too. I found that i had to change to WPA and TKIP only to get he Mini s to connect but hte 2i still wont The only thing i really use the connection at home for is to transfer files if im on the laptop rather than having to go to my main puter and plugging it all in. Its a pain as i tend to use the PDA's at work for stuff. Ill just have to get off my ass n go up stairs and do it now. Its a pain and it should work but im learning that these things aint all they should be

You bet it is, Try backtrack 2.0 is self booting linux build for "testing network security"
hi, i connect my blackstone on my wifi lan with wpa2 protection. but with wififofum or every sniffing program i see my wifilan and others lan(all encrypted wpa2) with wep protection.. dont' understand it.. any suggestion on it?
might need a bit more info...
but as a starter for 10, I would suggest:
Temporarily turning off any and all encryption / security on your wifi router (ie make it open to anyone to connect to).
This means turning off WPA / WEP encryption and any MAC key checks - so make sure you note down the settings before hand!
See if your HD will now coonect (it should!) - obviously you need to remove the WPA / WEP key from your HD too.
Assuming it does connect ok, turn back on your encryption on the router one step at a time, and make the same changes on the HD.
So eg, turn on WPA / WEP on the router.
Turn on WPA / WEP on the HD.
Does it still connect?
Whilst this might not solve the problem, it will at least highlight where the problem is - which then gives us a better chance of fixing it
hope that helps!
just for note - my HD happily connects to my wifi, running both WEP and MAC key security, so it ought to work!
thanks for your reply
i think that maybe there is a misunderstanding, my hd is connected to te wify, at home etc. the problem is, when i use wififofum(example) it search only wep lan and not wpa. in office we have a wifi encripted in wpa but with ssid cached. the boss have an iphone wit wififofum installed on it and is able to watch our wpa2 wifi. me not! because with all sniffing programs that i tryed i'm able to watch only wep wifi.
sorry for my terrible english
I can only see WEP in my Wifi setup, is there an update to enable WPA/2 encryption ?
I connect my p3600 to my WEP secured network, so i guess it sould work on p3600i too.
Hope that helps
yes WEP works ,but I'd like to change my home wifi to WPA as its more secure but looks like the phone doesn't support this protocol.
which is strange as I think this has been out for a few years , isn't this included in WM 6?
I'm using Lalle's latest Manila 2D ROM, and I got WPA as well as WPA2 available. I guess it depends on the ROM you're using.
Sorry I misstyped
I wanted to say:
I connect my p3600 to my WPA secured network, so i guess it sould work on p3600i too.
Hope that helps
Sorry for missleading
its funny u should be asking this im have big issues getting my spv m700 to connect to me belkin g mimo + router its set to wpa psk tkip and i cant connect it attempts to but no good just stops then comes up with a cross on me router name only way to get it to see me router as there again is to reset the phone.
now it connects to me dads fine and thats the same router only diff is firmware.
any one else had this if so how was it fixed.
p.s i allso have a ipaq rx3715 does the same thing it wont connect to me router.
Need some help from the kind forumers here.
I have problem with my X1's Wifi.
I can connect to my wireless network which uses WEP encryption. However, I am not able to surt the net with Internet Explorer or with Opera Browser.
When I try to connect to other unsecured networks, that network's status changes from "Available" to "Connecting". However, it would then change to "Unavailable".
Is the Wifi faulty?
Thanks in advance.
sounds like you have the wrong WEP key on your phone. Try to remove any security from your router first and try again. If this works it shows that the wifi is working. You then will want to think about adding more security. WEP is pretty crap these days, so think about WPA instead (unless you have to use WEP).

Thanks for the reply. But I also can't log onto networks without security. Strange...
WIFI cannot connect to my wireless network anymore...?
I used to have my wifi working like 3 days ago. I need help in setting up my X1 and PC to work with my wireless router at home.
can anyone who is a smart guy help me with this problem?
thanks in advance!
