Hello all,
(Skip down to question if you don't feel like reading.)
I recently purchased my 8125 (almost brand new) from my boss, he had it for a week and didn't like it so he sold it to me for $100.
Please do not yell or flame me for this very n00bish question. I would appreciate it if you would read the entire post before yelling at me.
Yes, I have scoured the internet for solutions that are not quite specific to my issue.
Here is my network setup.
I have a Linksys WRT54G that any computer can connect to wired or wirelessly. However my 8125 can see every wireless 802.11b network. (I haven't modded it for G, yet.) I can walk around the mall, school, work, my house and see every wireless B network. I can even input the WEP security keys. The issue is I can not connect to the wireless network(s).
Here is what I have done to try and resolve this issue:
I first tried configuring my different connections, "enable for internet use", "disabling mediaNET Proxy", set up a new connection. None of those work, I always end up connection to GRPS for the internet. I
I have discovered that I can not connect to wireless network, with encryption enabled or disabled. I have tried a hard reset with to no avail.
So to simply state it for my first set of problems are,
I can not connect at all to a Wireless Network, I can see it but can't connect and every solution I've found out on the web has not helped.
Can you all please give me suggestions for help?
I'd also appreciate it if you would list everything step by step.
Thank you all very much in advance,
Duo
u have a tweak that has GRPS always on enabled.
I have the same Linksys AP as you and operate without any problem. What version of software are you running?
does it still not work with WPA turned off?

Sounds to me like your having "regular" networking issues rather than wireless specific ones.
If you go Start -> Settings -> Connections -> WIFI -> Network Adapters Tab -> From the list pick the one that has "Wireless Adapter" in the name and click on it. On mine it's called "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor". Should be similar on yours
NOTE ON ABOVE: I have WM6 and if I recall some of the names of the control panel icons are different. I don't think it was called WIFI in previous versions. Root around for one which has the "Network Adapters Tab".
There you will find your IP address settings as well as your name server settings. (Both tabs). Make sure that the IP is set to "User Server Assigned IP Address" is set. Then go to the Name Server tab and make sure they are ALL BLANK. Nothing in them at all.
My suspicion is your boss changed these settings. Have a go anyway.
any problems following those bad instructions get back to us!

Hi,
I've searched the forum but always found the wrong direction - how to use the mobile internet connection with a laptop. Answer of choice: "Use the WLAN-Router software on the HD2". That might work for others, but I need the opposite way.
I've got a Lenovo T500 with most recent WLAN drivers and the HD2 (OS 5.2.21869, Manila 2.5.19211619.0, ROM 1.66.407.1 (76641) GER) and I want to use the internet connection of my notebook (at work ;-)) with the phone.
So I thought I'd set up an adhoc wifi connection between those two.
But it doesn't work. Both devices see each other but none of them can connect. For the notebook I can set a static IP 192.168.1.xxx for the WLAN card, but how do I set this on the HD2. I've tried setting static IPs for all the network adapters listed under Settings -> Menu -> More -> Connections -> WLAN -> Advanced -> General -> network adapters -> network adapters ... (on my german OS: Einstellungen -> Menü -> Mehr -> Verbindungen -> WAN -> Erweitert -> Netzwerkkarten -> Netzwerkkarten ...). But on the "Advanced" tab next to "General" I get "Status: Connected to network, MAX: ........, IP 0.0.0.0". When I tap the WiFi symbol in the top status bar, it says: "Wi-Fi: not connected ...".
I'm lost! Can anybody help please?
Hmmmm I would assume that the HD2 Wi Fi App emits an Ad-Hoc Wi Fi connection type....which is like a PC TO PC network connection right? Same happened to me, however in this case my PS3 didn't see my HD2 wifi network...so yes, it may not ever work..unless there's a hack someone develops
Thanks for the reply, but that's odd.
I have no problem connectiong to my WLAN router at home (infrastructure mode). DHCP works perfect on that.
But at work my only way would to ad-hoc connect to my notebook and use its LAN connection from there on.
It seems a bit dumb to offer an ad-hoc mode and then not support it properly - so I still hope for some more feedback.
So is the Connection to your laptop a wired connection?
If so you can either connect your phone to your laptop via a cable and WMDC, or if you want wireless you can right click on your wired connection and go to the properties, you should be able to share the connection with your wireless card. the PC will handle the DHCP and IP Allocation. but you need to create a Ad-hoc network for your wireless card.
all you need to do is turn the router on on the hd and connect to it e with windows, you need to set windows to be able to see adhoc networks though, should be in the advanced wifi settings.

No he's wanting to use the Laptops LAN connection if I'm reading it right instead of the phones data connection, ie Internet>Laptop>Phone if you turn on the wifi Router the internet connection will be coming from the phone not to the phone
On the PC right-click on your LAN connection, choose share, select the WLAN connection as the interface you want to share on. Create an ad-hoc network on the PC, then connect to it with the HD2.
Or use ActiveSync/WMDC via cable or bluetooth.

Aaaah Gotya, if that's the case, try Connectify on the laptop to create a WiFi hotspot, and let it deal with the DHCP'd client for you. Works fine for me.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
I'll try them out and report back if any of it worked for me.
Sorry for digging out this thread but I have the same problem (I can connect to ad-hoc with my notebook but I don't have internet on HD2) and any solutions in web didn't help me. Sorry for bad english Please - any suggestions?
I was having problems with ad-hoc connection as well. The only thing that fixed it was to delete the settings for my other networks and then the ad-hoc started working. I don't know if this will help everyone, but it worked for me.

I can't delete settings of my other networks because I set static IP in connection with internet. Maybe I must try share internet via bluetooth. Where I can fin guide about it? (I've already tried to search on forum)
I can acces to internet via router connection, but not by ad-hoc. Someone had this kind of problem and solved it with some program or smth else?
check it out !
chech it out it might help u, but select "work" instead of "internet" and don't open network adapters...
exc.
oops... I can't paste link(because i'm new user), but search with google in the forum "how to access internet with laptop (vista) through wireless" and open the first link. I explained every thing there to set up adhoc connection with hd2...
Just opened my new Elocity A7 today and I can't seem to get an internet connection.
I'm trying to connect to a Belkin Wireless Router. My Windows Laptop and Xbox 360 have no problems with the router. It's using WPA2 / PSK for encryption and the SSID is not hidden.
The A7 is able to detect my network and even goes so far to let me input the key. When I view available networks I see: "Network XYZ - Remembered"
Obviously the A7 is retaining the key, but everytime I hit connect it just sits there and I never get an internet connection.
Thoughts?
So it appears that I'm having connection issues with other Wifi Networks as well. My laptop can snag an unsecured connection from the coffee shop around the corner, but while the A7 detects it, it doesn't connect just like with my wifi.
Do I need a firmware update? Have I missed some settings or config?
I've downloaded and installed the latest firmware update - and surprise! Still no Wifi connectivity. I've been assured by Elocity customer support that this firmware update should have fixed the issue.
I'll be trying a factory restore and re-loading the update once more, and then I'll be shipping this tablet back. Without internet access it's just a giant iPod.
Hi All,
Does anyone know how to manage proxy settings on the Acer Iconia A500?
Also does anyone know how to install wifi LAN certificates....
I'm not too keen on rooting my device.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanx
As far as I know Android only has proxy config settings in 3.1, which we will hopefully have soon.
That being said, I had no problems connecting my Iconia to my work wifi using my intranet credentials. It's EAP authed 802.11x and connected right away.
Phone is connecting and receiving an IP and strong signal no problem, but can't get any type of internet to connect (imo/opera/market/facebook app etc...) there's no proxy or password... Notebook and other computers are using the network fine.
Any suggestions?
nm.. got it.. had to set DNS in wifi -> advanced.
you can ask for help to the sellers.
Check on the router, whether your phone is correctly connected. Try to download from the market some wifi software, that gives more information about connection - i. e. Wifi Manager.
Do you use official firmware or a custom one?
The DNS information should have been provided as part of the DHCP request.
Any firewalls?
Does the phone work on other wifi networks?
