Hi,
I've been using my Nook Color w/the Cyogenmod 7.0.3 for quite a while, but today, for the first time, I tried to VPN to my home network via PPTP, and it won't let me connect.
I am able to connect via VPN with my HTC Evo, and I have checked to make sure that I didn't type in anything incorrectly.
I have rebooted my NC, and still no luck.
Is this a problem with 7.0.3? Does VPN work with any of the older stable (or nightly) versions?
Thanks!
Hi, I recently made an attempt to enable ad-hoc connectivity to my Acer Iconia Tab using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060909&highlight=ad+hoc
After following these instructions I was able to connect to my phone through barnacle and I was able to surf the web on my tablet. Both Wifi and Ad-hoc were working right after I replaced my wpa_supplicant file and everything was working perfectly but around 30 minutes later when taking my tablet out of sleep I attempted to connect to my Wifi connection but it gets to "obtaining IP address" for about 4 seconds then rapidly says "disconnecting" and then back to "obtaining IP address". It does this 7 times before disabling the connection and staying on "scanning".
I have tried replacing the wpa_supplicant file with my original but the only differences that i have noticed are that it does not detect my phones ad-hoc connection and that it does the Ip address and disconnecting loop for a total of 10 times before disabling my Wifi connection.
My tablet is rooted and running the official android version 3.1.
I am using ES File Explorer to move and replace the wpa_supplicant file and to change the permissions for the modified wpa_supplicant file.
So, i was wondering if anyone else has the same problem or a solution of any kind. I was also wondering if anyone would be willing to share their stock wpa_supplicant file for the Acer iconia for 3.1 honeycomb

I tried this but when running the patch the android robot appears with gears in it's center appears for a few seconds and then the gears get replaced my a warning sign and exclamation mark.
I have tried re-formatting my sd card and unrooting before running the patch but my initial problem persists along with the exclamation mark on each attempt to apply the patch. Decrypting the file results in corrupting the file and making it unable to extract it's contents.
I d/loaded the patch direct to my tab and ran it inside android. You might've curupting the file moving it.but strange
I'm having the same trouble Today. Finally got it to tether with barnacle. After doing that once I Now get the endless loop of "obtaining IP". I am at work so cannot check other wifi yet but will when I get home.

Another fix that may work is deleting the file dhcpcd-wlan0.lease located in /data/miscellaneous/dhcp
Thanks, I ended up just restoring but if I run into this problem again I'll definitely try that
Downloading the Wifi Fix directly from Acer seemed to do the trick for me. At least for connecting to my home wifi. I'll be testing tethering at work again today to see if it repeats the problem, but hopefully it does not.
wpa supplicant for ad hoc use
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, but have been reading the posts for over a month. I bought my Acer Iconia A500 to be more convenient than lugging around my 17" laptop. After purchasing was when I realized that I couldn't tether it to my JB iPhone 3gs. Started searching and learned how to root the tablet. Mine came with HC3.1. Rooted the tablet, found an alternant wpa-supplicaant file, followed the instructions, and pleasantly surprised that I could then tether to my phone. THEN Acer sent an ota update (4.010.11_com_Gen) I accidentally installed the update before unrooting. Messed everything up, and had to do a factory reset. After the reset I rooted again. Everything working fine until I tried to find the wpa file again. Couldn't find the same one. Used a different one. Followed the same steps as before and suddenly my wifi went wacko. Wouldn't stay connected, kept looping. Very frustrating. Undid the wpa and could connect to regular wifi. Did more research and found the original ad hoc file. Used it and now have no problem connecting and disconnecting. MORAL TO THE STORY: use the wpa supplicant ad hoc file that has XOOM in the file name. I would have saved myself a weeks worth of frustration had I just kept looking.
Btw....I tried all the 'fixes posted and nothing helped the looping until I rooted and used the correct supplicant file.
Good luck!

Could you share the file? I have one but it doesn't work so I reverted to stock.

The file attached to the first post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060909&highlight=ad+hoc worked perfectly after I did factory reset. But instead of following those instructions to the letter make sure you turn on airplane mode or disable wifi before messing with the original file (renaming it to wpa_supplicant.old) and setting the permissions of the modified wpa_supplicant file to User:RWE Group:RWE Other:RW only.
I also restarted my tablet before enabling wifi just in case and my tablet has been connecting to ad-hoc and wifi connections without any issues whatsoever even after multiple restarts.
Order things went down for me were, upgrade to the OTA update from Acer... Then I rooted, used the ad-hoc wifi thinger, tethered once before getting endless loop. Then I downloaded the wifi fix directly from Acer, installed it via sd card as they say and I have not had any issues since. Tethered as I type this, 3rd time today as well.
I'm not sure if using the ad-hoc then acer update changed anything, but it works great now.

A500 here too and ran into same loop issue. Deleting the lease file worked like a champ, thanks! Rooted stock 3.1, haven't installed latest Acer update.

I am also getting the looping IP address (DHCP) after applying the wpa_supplicant as directed. I tried to reset the Acer A500 with a pin two times like it was listed on Acer.com. That did not fix it. I tried to delete the dhcpcd-wlan0.lease but could not find it anywhere. I don't have a /data/miscellaneous directory. Only found /data/misc/ and that did not have the lease file. I then tried the wifi patch from Acer and then updated to version 4.*^*.13 (latest update) but it is still looping. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it possible I got the wrong wpa_supplicant that has a problem? I am now able to see ad-hoc networks as well as my router but with the looping problem.
Thanks,
Rich
this also happened to me
This happens to me when I switch networks.I turn off wifi del the saved networks,reboot then turn wifi back on and resetup my wifi password.I do not know a better solution.some claim this is worse with some routers.
Can't obtain ip address
Hi I'm having trouble with my sons acer iconia b1 when he first go it everything worked perfectly until I went onto it a few weeks back it isn't connecting to wifi and is saying that the IP address is unavailable. I have tried everything it has had factory reset I reset the router everything I could think of I done it. I know it's not te router as my other son has th same tablet and his works perfectly. The only thing I can think of is he has went into it and done something and I don't know how to get it back. I'm at the point where I'm close to throwing it at a wall as it's frustrating me so much
Thanks
I have a US wifi only xoom
It has been rooted on android 3.1 stock for months with bigrush dogs kernel.
Today I decided to upgrade to 3.2 using solarnz hammerhead. So I performed a nandroid backup, booted back into cwm and then wiped, then flashed hammerhead and then proceeded to reboot. upon rebooting I was ask to connect to wifi and now I cannot connect to wifi for anything. Every network I try to connect to just says connecting or says nothing and never connects. So I flashed my nandroid backup to go back to normal and I still have the same issue. I can't connect to wifi. Anyone here know anything at all?
Thanks for you help
Wanted to post an update to this problem. Apparently when I flash a new update my system name changes in my routers Mac address settings. My router then automatically blocks my xooms Mac address so I had to unblock it in the router. Never experienced this with my evo. Fyi. I have a 2wire router with Att
I actually experienced the same problem the first time that I flashed hammerhead. I thought it was a fluke or had something to do with the wifi issues that I have had with all of the 3.2 roms, including stock 3.2 on the xoom and the transformer. I just flashed back to tiamat 1.1 wiped again and then reinstalled hammerhead. That did the trick for me.
So I dont exactly know what is going on. I go to connect to a wireless network and it will start to connect, say its obtaining IP adress, and then refresh and start all over again. It never actually connects and stays connected. I know its not the router because I have tried numerous networks (that worked before) and now they just stopped working. I did have trouble with root and I re unlocked the tablet because root wasn't working. Is there anyway I messed something up? I installed the 3.2.2 rooted rom and now I flashed back to moray both with the same non-working wifi result.
Anyone know what is going on?

Did you by chance restore system apps and data through Titanium Backup? Sometimes wifi is messed up by restoring a previous version of the system app and data over a newer version supplied by a custom Rom.
You might want to just wipe everything in recovery, reflash your Rom and set it all up again fresh.
my WIFI was messed up when I swiched Kernels way back. I had forgotten to push one of the files... when you switched ROMs, did you wipe first or did you just install one over the other?
have similar issue after going from hammerhead 3.2 to moray 2.2.2.
Infrastructures wifi works fine, but whe trying to connect the xoom to an ad-hoc (from Nokia jokiuspot) just keeps displaying "obtaining IP address". Never had a problem with hammerhead? Guessing it has something to do with the dchp client on the Xoom¿
Certainly not a big problem, and something I am more than happy to live with as is.
everything else working spot on. Using a UK wifi only!
Hi,
I am experiencing a problem with my A500, it blocks some websites for an unknown reason.
The tablet is running Taboonay 2.2 right now, but it happens also in stock rom. To root my tablet I reverted it back to 3.0.1. In that version all websites work fine.
I also tried some different browsers with no success.
The problem is neither rom nor browser dependent, but I think it depends on the version 3.2, due to working fine in 3.0.1.
It mainly happens on the k*nox.to website. It loads and loads and loads and finally interrupts with an error message "Timeout".
What can i do to fix this problem?
