WIFI Internet Connection

Hi guys,
I've got a netopia router (Irish "eircom" broadband) and while normal internet connections via laptop or PC (with USB Wifi dongle) work fine I just can't get my XDA Mini S to actually access the internet. I have managed to actually get it to connect via WIFI however when I launch internet explorer and click on a link it says it can't access using this connection.
"Can't connect with current connection settings. To change you connection settings, tap Settings".
Under connections I'm not sure what to select as I don't believe I need to setup a modem connection or VPN - am I wrong here??
It shows "connected" in the WIFI settings, indicating my SSID etc. Could someone advise me on what else I need to set. Basically I'm obtaining an IP address and my laptop etc work fine, just wondering what more I need to do to bash internet explorer into submission on the XDA. Is is just me or are Microsoft making this very hard on the normal user..
Start--> settings -->Wireless Lan
SSID is correct.. i.e my Wireless LAN
Mode : infrastructure
BSSID is set (though I don't know what this indicates)
TX Rate :auto
Channel :7
Start--> settings -->Wireless Lan - Advanced Tab
Status : Associated to Network
MAC number given
IP address given (so I guess DHCP is working fine)
Leap tab and Enroll tab - all settings blank.
------------------------------------------------
Start --> settings --> system --. Network cards
SSID shows Connected
Under Network Adapters tab : My network card connects to the Internet.
Adapter NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver. (not sure what difference this makes????)
I temporarily disabled WEP for the purposes of simplifying things.

Simple yet very annoying problem:
Go to Settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection and make sure both combos read 'My ISP'.
Then, when connecting to your WiFi network select 'This network connects to the internet' (as I understand you already have this set under 'network adapters' so it should be ok).

THANK YOU!

wifi problem

ok heres the deal... i have a MDA flashed with the software from att for the 8125 everything works great except when i turn wifi on, i can connect to the network but cant ever get a page to work. does anyone have any suggestions????? please help

Is this happening on any network or your home network?
Check this... go to Settings - Connections - Network Cards. Make sure the WLAN Adapter is set to connect to the internet. Then tap the WLAN Adapter and make sure IP Address is set to Server Assigned then in Name Servers you don't have anything. If any of these is different, change it to the above.

Yeah. I have the same problem. I have wifi pci asus, the signal is good. I have Lan tru router and now bridged connection. I set the ip, mask and gateway which are in the status of the brudge. And the internet explorer and opera wont load pages.?!??! dns isnt set.
The network adapter is sdio wlan.., and the connection is my work network in connection > connections > advanced >select networks.
i use wm6, nbd 8.0
What could be the problem???

it is home network and all other wifi locations

i know there is a problem with secured networks, especially with wpa encryption. try to remove the encryption and see how it goes....

I have removed all encription. I tried preety much everithing and it doesnt work. All other free wifi networks work just fine, i can surf on internet.

what router do you have? i know that i could not connect to a 3com router with the wizard with any rom i tried.
try using a defined ip address and dns, meaning no dhcp. use a real dns addresses and not the default gateway...

WM6 + wm2003 + wifi router

Hello to everybody
i own a Trinity (i love it!) upgraded to wm6 (shadowmite rom) and radio 1.46.00.11.
i am desperately trying to connect via wifi to my home network to use my flat adsl, but i have no success.
Besides i also have a Blue Angel with WM2003 (i still love it..) and i dont have any problems at all with it to access my network/internet thru wifi!
I am using a wifi router/modem (zyxel prestige 660 hw) with Adsl2+ and italian provider liberomini 4mb
my PC is winXP MCE sp2 and its connected to the router with ethernet cable
I have set up both PDA's exactly the same way:
-wifi card :connects to 'my work'
-IP address: assigned by server
-authenticationpen
-data encryption : disabled
-connections/advanced/networks: both set to 'wy work'
-proxy settings: internet connection enabled / proxy server disabled
on the router i disabled all protections/firewall/encryption/passowrd/etc.
dhcp is enabled both on the router and the PC
both PDA's connect to the Zyxel router and show very with good signal strenght.
the router recognizes the signal of both pda's and displays correct mac-address and ip address of both
BUT,
THE BLUE ANGEL CAN BROWSE THE WEB USING TE WIFI/ADSL CONNECTION AND CAN ACCESS MY PC DIRECTORIES/RESOURCES, WHILST THE TRINITY DOES NOT!
it cannot locate webpages and does not connect to network.
i tried all possible combinations of wlan/wifi/connection settings, but no way!
Am i doing something wrong? is there any special setting to be done with wm6?
i dont believe the fault is in shadowmite's rom as even before flashing to this fantastic rom i had tried once with wm5 and had same problem (though i did not dig too much in it)
Can anybody help me?

Check if you are using a proxy in your gsm settings. If it is so, use someting like Advanced Settings or Trinityhacks or something ele to disable the proxy during wi-fi connections.
Ciao

wm6+wm2003+ router wifi
thks yr reply claros.
i checked my gsm settings (you mean my ISP connection settings?) and there is not mention of proxy server in there
i only found proxy server option in MY Work connection settings and it is disabled.
all settings are exactly same as on the blue angel which is working fine...
do you know if this is a common problem with wm6?
any suggestion how to proceed?

ps: still cannot access myh pc directories but i guess i will solve by installing Resco explorer
thanks

Static WLAN IP used for Dial-up connections

Since I flashed the official new o2 Rom (1.57.207.1 (47324) GER) I've had the following Problem.
1. My Dial-up Connection works fine.
2. I configure my HD to use my home WLAN network. As it does not use DHCP I configured a static IP for my Wifi-connection. It connects fine and all applications use WLAN and work as they should.
3. Now I disconnect WLAN through connection center or another methode.
4. If I try to use my Dial-up connection now, it seems to connect fine to the network, but I cannot access any webpage through a browser or check my emails through outlook or anything. Opera just presents me an Error page.
5. If I disconnect my dial-up connection, delete the static IP settings from my WLAN-Adapter, set it to use DHCP for Wifi and reconnect dial-up everything works fine again.
I checked my dial-up settings, everything is set to automatic ip from server, but it still seems to be influenced by the Wifi settings.
If anyone has any solution to this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated, as it is pretty annoying to have to set the ip-settings everytime i want to use Wifi.
I tried a hard reset today, that didn't help either.
My phone has the following configuration:
ROM:1.57.207.1 (47324) GER
Radio: 1.12.25.16d3
Protokoll: 52.60.25.33h
Thank you very much.

WiFi only works if Data Connection is active

Hello.
Today I downloaded Office 2010 for my HD Mini. After completing the phone restarted.
I then tried to check my email, which failed with a 'no connection' error. I checked the the WiFi was on (it was) and tried again, no luck. I then noticed that the little 'Data Connection' icon was not displayed in the taskbar. I went to Settings>Wireless controls>Data connection and turned this on. Now I could check emails, surf the internet, all as normal. I am sure that this was being done using the WiFi due to the speed of pages loading. But surely I shouldn't need to turn on a Data connection, to use WiFi?

Mine is havin a similar problem. I am not able to surf even if I connet to my wifi. Only after enabling the data connection it starts work. Though I am not sure which internet its using. Since it was kind of slow.
Don't know for sure if its a bug or hardware issue but it is something. Someone pls help.

Well. I think I might have found the problem here. I was looking for the setting to turn Wi-Fi off automatically after a few minutes and I came across the setting for DNS Address, I have manually assigned an IP addresses on my Wi-Fi as otherwise my Apple Mac and Windows PC's can't see the printer, I had assigned an IP address and the Gateway address for the router, but I had not found the panel for DNS servers, I had assumed that the DNS server would be located automatically - it appears this is not the case and the HTC HD Mini was using the GPRS DNS server to locate the IP addresses before downloading the pages via the Wi-Fi connection.
So, if suffering from not being able to access the internet on Wi-Fi without a GPRS connection being made try the following:
Settings >
Wireless Controls >
Wi-Fi >
Advanced (Button) >
Adaptor and Networks >
Network Adapters (Tab) >
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Not sure if this is required...
What is the DHD adapter???
I did enter both my IP and DNS settings here though... Just in case!
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Then back out of all the menus/pages.
This worked for me. Worth a try?
