I ran into a problem today where I entered in some details incorrectly to a hidden wireless network profile and then discovered that MS have removed the Wireless Network Manager so I couldn't delete or correctly configure that network as it would not get listed in the metro wireless interface.
After a bout of searching online I've found that this seems to be a rather common problem that has no real fix to be found.
After digging around on my machine I've discovered the wireless profiles are stored in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces
where the first sub folders list guids for respective wireless devices on you machine which contains xml files pertaining to the wireless profiles for the respective wireless devices. it seems same to manually delete the files or edit.

Or you just right click on the SSID in the Available Wireless Network list and either select Forget this network or View connection properties :silly:

Not if you mistype the SSID, or your not in range of the router when you wish to modify the profile, or you have multiple profiles that share the same SSID.
Hello,
What you are looking for is managed via the registry now.
Visit This:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
Hope this helps
Think netsh is your friend here...

how can i make my MDAIII connect to this wireless network. the name of the network is /lasm everytime i put it it says it cant contain that charachter '/'. is there any way to hack it or is there another wifi app? thanks
NETWORKING IT
try a \ instead of /.
Try \\ or // as well.
How many computers are on the network? Is the network you are attempting to connect to a workgroup or domain? If there is a server or certificates, then you will have to allow authentication of non Win2K (or later) OS (I'm pretty sure).
Good luck!

You don't need to specify anything, just list the available networks and login to whatever is found, in your case = "/lasm"
i cant name the network name /lasm because....here is what it says "A connection name must contain at least one letter or number and cannot contain any of the following characthers: /\*?<>l
thanks[/i]
if the name of your network contains an illigal character, then you can't access it without renaming it. Not to insult you, but are you sure that the \ is actually part of the name, or just what a browser displays???
could you install a second wifi adapter in one of the pc's, name it something legal, and link the two? Just an idea....
Good Luck!!!
its part of the name. i cant install another wifi adapter

Naming of the network is mainly required for creation of networks. And you should use "listing" functions to see available networks and login to them. What do u mean by network? wi-fi access points or microsoft (windows) networking?
Finally, you can sniff for the ips in wifi and use them to access any pc on the net
Hi,
Being a mobile device, it gets used in many places, with many WiFi networks.
Setting the various networking parameters involves opening several different setup screens and (often) fiddling around with entering IP addresses, proxies, etc.
Does anyone know of a utility that allows the easy setting of DHCP vs fixed IP, maybe DNS servers and proxy vs no proxy? And, perhaps more importantly, a utility that both does this and remembers the settings for the various networks, allowing a rapid setup on the second and later connections?
Regards,
Geoff.
Sad but am replying to my own message.
Am I the only one that regularly connects to networks with different parameters?
Am still hopeful that someone will know of a utility to store network parameters and allow same to be set with one tap - or someone clever will make such a utility??
Hi Geoff,
No you're not the only one.
Have you found something yet? I could do with the same!
Michael
Here's another vote for such a utility, i'd love to be able to use mine at hoem and work without having to dig through several menus to get there.
What about a CAB install with different settings..
Same here mate. I am looking into XML cab files, that modify your network card settings eg DHCP \ Fixed IP and also changing over the Wireless network settings, eg SSID, WEP Keys etc.
Its easy enough to create a shortcut to a CAB file, and one that just changes a few registry settings operates very quickly.
Yes, its a manual workaround.
Yes a application that detects the loss of one WIFI and attempts you connect the others in your device and then configures the WLan card accordingly (DHCP\Fixed IP etc) would be very handy.
No - I haven't got very far yet, I took the idea from another thread where someone used it to RESTORE their WIFI settings after a cold-reset.

for putting me on the path..
I got my 8525 almost 24 hours ago and I still haven't been able to connect to the internet. I have combed just about every thread on the net I could find on this subject and still haven't been able to use the wifi for even a second.
So far I've tried:
* removed media net
* removed my isp
* disabled proxy in proxy manager
* adjusted power save mode to best performance
* changed from dynamic ip's to static
* tried numerous kinds of router security (WEP, WPA, etc.)
* added DNS addresses to device
* disabled router security all together
* updated router firmware
At first all I could see on my device was the wireless network name...each time I clicked connect it just displayed "available". Eventually I managed to get it to connect to the network, but I still can't get a single web page to come through on internet explorer. Each time I punch in a website and hit enter, it just displays "Locating..." in the status bar, and eventually pops up with a message saying "This page cannot be found...".
PLEASE advise!!
* I'm running Windows XP/WM6, wireless router: Linksys WRT54G
setting->connections->connections->adavanced-select network
try setting both dropdownboxes to my network rather then
my isp or whatever yours are called
Thanks, but they're already set like that
sounds like a setting issue somewhere

good reads
you may have to clear the device to make sure that things / settings you changed or deleted which was required
dont cause issues
also as test you can see if you can get internet using activesync overbluetooth
if so you are 1 step closer to knowing where the issue is located
You may also want to try this out:
http://rapidshare.com/files/42598341/wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
The original link is here (kudos to wpbear for all his work) but there are a ton of links in that post. AT&T REALLY REALLY wants you to use their data plan so they include a hidden proxy. The cab above will install shortcuts to enable and disable the proxy.
You can use the search link in my sig line to search for 'hermes enable proxy', 'hermes diable proxy', 'hidden proxy', etc. if you're interested in the back story.
BTW, after you install the cab, you want to click the 'Disable Proxy' shortcut. That may have been abundantly clear to you already but just in case...
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm getting online through activesync, but not feeling any closer to the wifi working. I tried using Fitipaldi1's cab file, but it just says failed to install. Is it not the same thing as the "disable proxy" anyway? I also looked through the threads, but didn't find any solutions.
This is getting ridiculous. I paid a lot of money for this phone and I can't even get it to do what I need it to. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
What about updating the rom? Mine is 3.62.502.3
Try this ...
I'm using Schap's 4.31 ROMs and have to do nothing special (it's a wonderful ROM). I know that in Windows Mobile 6, our 8525's should be able to access 802.11g by default, but maybe your's is disabled.
I do not have a dataplan either, but access everything via WiFi. I know for a fact that I am accessing wireless routers @ work that are configured as "G Only" devices.
A last bit of advice is that you could check your LinkSys and see if it is configured as "G only" or Mixed Mode. Maybe as a test, you might want to change it to Mixed Mode and then see if it connects. If it does connect in Mixed Mode, then you need to change your Registry settings to connect to 802.11g's.
I hope this helps!
How is it possible to add an exception in the proxy list.
For example in Windows XP, you go to:
Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab -> LAN Setting -> Advanced, and you get whats attached.
How do you add this address into an exception on Windows Mobile 6.1 (I'm using a Sony Xperia X1 with IT-Touch v7.1).
Many thanks..

Go to Settings, Connections, Advanced and open the Exceptions list. You can then enter URLs that you don't want to go via a proxy for. This works in conjunction with your current Data Connection or WiFi. The logic seems to be - If you have a WiFi connection active and it is set to 'Connects to: Work' then the URLs will be connected to directly over that WiFi connection. If the WiFi is set to 'Connects to: The Internet' then a VPN connection to your Work will be attempted over the WiFi (assuming you have one defined?). If you have a HSDP/3G/GPRS connection active then a VPN connection will also be attempted but over the active HSDP/3G/GPRS.
The URL list doesn't just work for HTML pages via IE, if any application attempts to locate a host that is in the URL list it follows the same logic as above - unless it has it's own hook-ins to the OS and forces a connection itself.
I have only one entry in my URL list and that is the DNS domain name of my Work network - '*.work.domain/'. This seems to work well for me.
That's my experience of it anyway.

●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY
I think there is an easier way for windows although I cant test it right now.
In network settingfind option to create new network. Create an ad-hoc network.
In start menu search for "network connection".
In network connections, highlight both the network you just created and the network that your internet comes from.
Right click and select bridge networks.
Shouldn't require doing anything to your phone or even being rooted. As I said I havn't tested this but I don't see why it would not work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reverse tether over USB?

For USB tethering there are many third party application in play store.
And I have seen in many devices that after creating ad-hoc network also ... the device doesn't gets connected to internet.

Even if the network is bridged to a regular internet network?
I guess you missed attaching the files needed. even though they are included in the link in your signature about the same thread in other forum

Hi
thanks for this. But I downloaded and pasted the wpa_supplicant file in my rooted Galaxy S2 (Wanamlite rom) and I canno't activate the wifi anymore.
Any tips ?
