Portable wifi hotspot not working! - Nexus S General

I have an i9023 UK version , 2.34 official version with 3G network (working on the phone)
I am now using the building wifi hotspot function (open)
my ipad2 & thinkpad T520 can both find the hotspot and connect
however, both deceives wont connect to the internet
my ipad shows me the DHCP config
IP address : 169.254.57.192
Network mask: 255.255.0.0
any suggesting? thanx

Well you have a self assigned IP address which is not going to get you anywhere. Try rebooting your phone or restarting the hotspot app.
Also try restarting your iPad as well.

can't use internet OVERALL via wi-fi!!

i have problem with using INTERNET via wi-fi, i'm using [mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.3a].. is that just me who have this problem??
I use this version on my wifi and it works very well what is the problem, can you connect to the wireless network ?
thx for your reply
strange!!! it's work now for me
first was seen connect to the wireless network but could not surf ... etc.
anyway it works now!
No internet when switched to WiFi
I have the same issue. No internet when WiFi is turned on with darkstone HD2Froyo, Kernel 2.6.32.9-38076 (Cotulla 25/07/2010). I can ping my HD2 from my network over WiFi.
Seems as if the default gateway on my HD2 is not set in that case.
Is there an app to check the current ip settings?
I´m also wondering about the strange mac address my dhcp server shows me
00:11:22:33:44:55
^ that is the MAC address of your HD2 on the current Android build. We all have it -> CLICK
If you are usin MAC address filtering on the WiFi router, this is your problem - edit the MAC address list
Long shot but this worked for me.
wi-fi has worked no problem on most builds but anything with sense on it just wouldn't find my network, would find networks all around me but not the one sat next right to the phone!!!
Changed the channel on my router from 13 to 11 and hey presto, picked it up straight away

Tould you that i can ping the device so this has nothing todo with mac filtering.
Any other ideas?
I'm using the Darkstone Froyo build and WiFi works a treat when you enable it, the problem with it is that when the device is not in use and you activate the screen and unlock it, 9 times out of 10 it will be using 3g instead.
If you go into Settings -> Wifi it says "turning off"... then immediately goes to connecting to my home network wifi and all is well... ok, all is well until next time the device is idle

Android Cannot Connect to Proxy enabled Wifi

After searching and trying out several ways to connect my GT to my school's proxy authenticated wifi network I gave up. Then I thought about my ipod touch, registered my wifi mac address with the IT guys and voila it was so easy to configure proxy just my entering user name and password I I can surf.
Now why on earth did android neglect the proxy wifi I have no idea. Furthermore, the adhoc wifi does not also work OTB and will only work if rooted. Why?
I am beginning to regret purchasing android device.....
Hi, what is the specific problem-is it connecting ok to wireless but not authenticating to your web proxy server? apps like asproxy ( http://alsubang.github.com/ASProxy/index.html) should work, but haven't tried it myself....

I have tried asproxy and it did not work. And yes it connects to the usual hotspots like starbucks. I am also rooted so I am able to connect to adhoc from my nokia phone(joiku hotspot).
I also know some friends who have the 10.1 and the asus transformer and they also cannot connect to the schools proxy. A visit to the IT department confirmed that Android is not supported.
A lot of people in our community are already put off getting an android device because of this.

Can't get WiFi internet working

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?

No internet on home wifi

Hi
I have a Dovado Tiny router with a usb umts modem (Huawei e398).
On the Galaxy I'm using ICS 4.0.3. Altough I can connect to the router I'm not able to get internet access. All other PCs in the network have access including a laptop which also uses the wifi. Only my Galaxy does not work. On other Wifis internet works. The strange thing is, when I ping google.at in Terminal Emulator I get a response, also from my other PCs in my homenetwork. But the wifi icon on top stays grey, so I think this indicates no internet access. What else can I try ???
On my router I tried nearly all settings, with WPA Encryption, without any encryption, no mac filtering etc....
What else could I test to find a solution ??
thanks in advance
regards
Erich
Buy a new router .

[email protected]#*/$..Wifi at end of patience

I've run into Wifi connection issues with a particular Wifi network. I've read thread after thread and tried all the usual procedures but no luck so far...
SGN3
EE UK network
Not rooted, stock rom
Zerolemon 10000mAh battery
BT Wifi network
Basic BT Wifi router.
The SGN3 connects to other wireless networks just not this one. Other devices connected include:
2 x ipads
3 x I phones
1 x Google nexus
1 x Alienware Dell M18 laptop w Windows
1 x BT broadband TV on demand box
Now i have tried switching off half of these other devices and then rebooting the Wifi but still the SGN3 won't connect...
Authentication Error. ..
I'm loathe to attempt to issue fixed ip addresses as the BT TV Box won't allow it and it's not my network as we are currently staying with relatives between a house move. It is infuriating as being a basement flat, I can't get the mobile data network.
Any ideas that don't involve static ip?
FYI
Other devices added to the network have no issues.

try fiddling around with the security in the wireless section in the router. Some old 802.11n chips (on routers) that do not have 5ghz have problems with newer devices.
Authentication error sounds like a bad password or Auth method.

Another problem that I have seen in some WiFi routers is a sort of "confusion" over the encryption method - in theory WPA2 should be able to use both the older TKIP and the newer and more standard AES, but for some reason the router 'confuses' the two and you must force a specific one of them (not necessarily the same on all models) inside the router - experiment with both but I have seen most often things being fixed by forcing WPA2+AES.

Looks like configuration related issues.
# In your router if you’re using static IP did you enabled DHCP?
# If DHCP enabled does it has range of IP which can fulfill all devices? Like if you have 10 device your DHCP IP range should be at least 10 or above. From 100 to 110 or 110+ etc
# If using static IP you must use Address Reservation for each device with their mac address otherwise when all device reconnect router cant assign IP for each. When all device are connected using Static IP try connecting the Note 3 > when asking authenticate password > put pass > check mark advance setting > check your router for which IP is free, which you want to assign for note 3 > on note 3 under advance setting choose static IP (its DHCP by default) > put the same IP and save. If this connect check your router and take the mac address of note 3 and assign a Address Reservation for the note 3 mac with the same IP.
# If its showing Authentication Error then definitely its password related issue. Use WPA2/PSK and AES encryption (if other device supports). When connecting it shows obtaining IP address. If no IP free, it will keep showing that.
# while doing this turn off mobile data, after all done you can turn it on. However mobile data isn’t an issue for this.
Thanks all it was a channel issue. The router kept shifting channel. Software update has solved it.
