So I'm trying to connect to my university's Wifi. I have to put in a username and password to get in (WPA-2 Enterprise secured). I can connect fine with Windows 7, but it's not working in Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Also, I tried connecting to my school's public wifi. Windows 8 says it is connected, but every time I open up Internet Explorer it crashes. The only way I can get online is tethering through my phone. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks

Do you know if your University is using Cisco? I've seen this issue on both Win8DP and CP with Cisco Wireless Networks using the above authentication methods. Don't have a fix yet, however I've got one of our network guys looking into in his spare time (not a high priority being a Beta build)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure its Cisco. Oh well, I'll just be patient. Thanks!

I live on campus and I get internet through residence...
I set up connectify on my computer so that I can use Internet on my phone as well.
Has anyone tried this??
On my x10, it says it's connected, but I can't load any pages (Web page not available...says the browser) and when I look at the connectify panel, under Connected Clients - 1, it's got sony logo and says <Connecting...>
I'm not sure if it's because my wifi card doesn't support it? (but it says all do..hmm)
or if it's my phone? My phone's always had problem with wifi 'outside home'.. Like the only wifi I would be able to use would be a secure wifi through my home router. I haven't been able to connect to any 'public wifi' like at cafe or restaurants...
If anyone's used this and knows how to fix the problem it'd be great... thank you!!!
(or it could be that my school's lame and they block any internet connection through personal hotspots )
Same happened with me on my network. I have tried it on my friends laptop and it worked just fine but i wasn't able to connect using my own laptop( on my home connection which got a windows server machin ).
I'm just guessing it was caused by my windows server machin and some firewall setting that i couldn't adjust.
By the way i just the exact same problem as yours, phone keep showing that it's connected and couldn't open anything and Connectify keep saying connecting.
sorry for my bad english.
I had the same issue, it was a firewall thing. I emailed Connectify and was told
"At a minimum, DualServer.exe (ConnectifyNetServices.exe in 2.1 Beta 1) needs to be allowed to access the network, and ports 67 and 68 for DHCP, and port 53 (DNS), as well as 1317, 1318, and 1303 (internally used ports for DHCP and DNS), need to be open. Connectify 2.1 Beta 1 will try to configure Windows firewall to open all necessary ports."
Currently i have just disabled windows firewall and all works fine (I have a hardware firewall between me and WAN).
I had the same problem with my x10. It kept saying connecting. I contacted the developer, they asked me to use beta. I just installed beta and every thing is fine now...

this version didnt work for me but the 2.2 version works for me, My phone is Xperia x10 mini 2.1
Using HP Pavilion DM4, I can use connectify and my X10 gets internet access...not sure what's your problem though.
I use Connectify on my Win7 PC too, sometimes, out of the blue, while I am connected and loading pages, it stops, even though it is still connected.
I find that killing the app and the process on my PC and then opening the app again, fixes the problem.
Connectify is very buggy but incredibly useful when it works right, imho.
Hi All,
I wondering if someone can help me out. I rooted my epic and installed the latest android wifi tether and everything seems to be going okay as I am able to start tether and see the normal tether screen displaying Download 0.4kB and Upload of 0.3kB.
However i am not able to see connect correctly on my laptop. In the laptop, under wireless network connections, i see EpicTether (which i choose as the ssid) but the icon (right of the word EpicTether) looks different than the icons from my home wifi router. The EpicTether's icon is three blue boxes in the shape of a triangle where my home wifi shows the normal guage of wifi connectivity strength. I am using windows 7 premium by the way.
I've tried changing the channels on the epic, tried enable access-control under settings to no avail...
can someone please help? thanks.
Android WiFi tether is an Ad-Hoc network (device to device), not an infrastructure network like your home wifi is. That's why the icon is different.
Why it cannot connect could be 1000000 different things. Is the laptop part of a company domain and its possible that policies are preventing connection to an AdHoc type connection?
Thanks for the explanation. so that icon is normal.
My laptop is not a company laptop, it is pretty basic for home surfing use.

"pretty basic" to me translates as "should connect" lol. Not sure where you should go from there. I have heard lots of windows 7 ad hoc issues though. Search around google for "Windows 7 cant connect to ad hoc" and see what kind of fixes you see.
Thanks again.... made some success...
i read that the intel drivers for the internal wireless card may need updated drivers for the ad-hoc....
installed the new drivers and am able to connect now!... but will not provide me internet access.
Restart the computer (usually works most times), and or try releasing and renewing I.P address.
Hey everyone,
I've tried all of the tethering apps (usb/wifi) and none seem to give my laptop my legend's 3g data connection. I'm running CM7 (new stable version ) and i've been trying to use the built in hotspot to no avail. I can connect fine, even with WPA2 security, and the laptop connects fine (win7), and even shows full bars on the wifi icon in the bottom right of my taskbar, which says "Internet Access" when my mouse hovers over it.
The problem is, whenever I fire up chrome on my laptop, I get a page that says stuff like "Access denied", "authorization required", "You may need to sign in", and just gives no internet.
At first, I thought that it could be my carrier's fault (SFR France), that they don't want me tethering my phone's connection (I have a contract with unlimited data). The weird thing is, I can actually use gmail on my laptop! Yes, fully load new messages as they come, look through my archived messages, trash, spam, everything. Not even offline messages, it's really connected. So why can I access gmail on my laptop but nothing else? Could it be something to do with https connection to gmail or something like that? My phone's 3g works great, and my laptop has no troubles connecting to my home wifi. I've scoured XDA and google, and never figured it all out.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Michael
Troubleshooting 101:
- first, please try another laptop.
if the other laptop works, then your current laptop has issues.
My bad, I meant to include in my first post that i've gotten the same result with 3 different laptops.
Have you tried pdanet app? That's what I use and it works wonderfully.
Sent from my CM7 EVO using XDA App
yeah man that was one of the first ones i tried. no go for me, same issue (not connection, but internet access).
When I try to open a page, my phone shows that it starts to download data (with the arrows lighting up and the "H" for HSDPA in the status bar). But then stops and my browser says nope.
tried changing DNS, for instance to googles own (8.8.8.8) on the laptop?

How do I change the DNS on my laptop? Don't I need to use cmd for that?
And an interesting new development. Hopefully someone smarter than me understands this:
I've now tried 4 different sites that fully work! The thing is, they're all https sites, which all the other one i tried weren't. Just to let you know, the 4 confirmed funtional sites are:
gmail
google docs
dropbox
android market (in pc browser version, not on my phone)
So its GOT to have something to do with the https...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Michael
CM 7.0 does not require Wifi hotspot software. Check your wireless settings, you just need to turn it on.

He meant you should use the built-in WiFi hot spot in CM7, but you said you already did so in the first post...
about your problem, can you browse http (not https) websites in your phone's browser?

Absolutely. I've not run into any problems viewing any webpage on my phone, http or https, both on 3g and wifi (except for flash not really working, but that's beside the point).

Well, I have Windows XP and I don't have experience with Windows 7, but I remember that since Vista the network connections can be set as Home connection or Public (or something like that).
It's a wild guess but maybe the problem with browsing to HTTP websites has something to do with these network settings in Windows 7...
Try to compare the settings in the Home Wifi connection in your laptop vs the Mobile Wifie connection in your laptop, maybe some settings are different between the two.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't change anything. I definitely know what you're talking about, and everytine I connect to a new wifi network I always select home as the network type, so that my browsing isn't restricted. Hence I did the same here, and even tried the public option, but no effect.

hey there!
did u try the troubleshooting option in windows? did it give u any errors?
did u try wired tethering via your usb-cable?

Yep I tried usb tethering, same deal. Windows troubleshooting "couldn't identify the problem". It's gotta be something either on my carrier's side, my phone's side, or my laptops side that is restricting hotspot access to http sites.
Try to use another browser app.
I ever had this problem on chrome, so i use firefox and it's working now.

Hello,
I am on an HP Folio 13-1020us running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64 Bit. The Wifi can see the networks but it cannot connect to the schools network. I can connect off campus just fine, and I can connect without any trouble in Windows 7
This is very inconvenient for me, but its more difficult to handle considering my friends old Sony laptop has been able to successfully connect through wifi, so I know that it is not because "its just beta"
I am at Western Oregon University, where we use a WEP2 network. I have been to our IT guy and he patched me through as an exception, so theres no problem on the network end.
So far I think I have honestly read every single forum and answer to this, on campuses or not. Please if anyone has any ideas that would be great! But please don't list "Try uninstalling then reinstalling drivers, or updating them" I have the absolute latest drivers to all the components so far.
I have also tried to try the disable Mini Virtual Wifi Port, or whatever it is named, but it does not show up in my networking list.
Thank you very much!
Does your campus have an unsecured guest network? try that if it does.

No it does not but I tried at a Starbucks. No problem whatsoever. and tried with my phone. Also working but not reliable enough on the phone end to use full time
Double-check with your college's IT department and see if they blacklist/whitelist operating systems. Could be Windows 8 CP is getting blocked by the internet security.

Thats what I thought as well, but my friends laptop works on wifi on windows 8
Did you ever figure this out? I'm considering upgrading to Windows 8 here at BYU but we use Cisco and if my WiFi isn't going to work I can't upgrade.
We have a website that we use to feed web services to a .NET Compact app on some old WinMo 6.1 devices.
(Believe me, I'm WELL aware they are dinosaur-dead per MS! But, it's what the client uses.)
What with the current WFH/Covid situation I'm trying to hit our site with the development handheld here at home. In order to hit the site though, I need to be connected to our office VPN (it is not available public). It all works great on my laptop. I connect the VPN, I hit the site, it comes up. Golden.
It seems though that the WMDC connection does not share out access to the VPN resources to the handheld. If I try to pull up the site on the handheld, it times out, and says that the server could not be found. I can pull up other, public sites on the handheld while cradled, without issue.
Anyone have any idea how to get the VPN and its protected resources to be visible/available to the handheld in the cradle? The cradle is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Handheld is a Motorola MC3090 running WinMo 6.1.
My laptop is running Windows 10, build 19042.685.
VPN is Sonicwall Global VPN Client v.4.10.2.0428
WMDC is v.6.1.6965
now I'll admit I know nothing about windows mobile(tiny bit of CE tho) but did you check the network and sharing center and see if you can just select both and just right click em into a bridge?

Wouldn't have thought of that... I've never actually used bridging before.
Just connected my vpn, though, and looking in N&S Center, it looks like the Sonicwall vpn does not show up under the network connections. (Looks like Cisco VPNs do though, if only our office was using Cisco.)
Okay, ... turns out after digging in more, this was NOT because of the VPN vs. the cradle. The issue was actually that these dinosaur terminals apparently have trouble with DNS name resolution. When I replace the domain name with the IP address of the site, everything works fine. Wonderful. And that, is good enough. Don't care as long as it's working.
