I have also had this problem with my Socket wifi card on my XDAII using the latest version of the socket driver. I have had to revert to version of the Socket driver (142D) because of this problem. Version 142D works fine, but doesn't have such a fancy interface as the new version!
If you need a copy of this driver, PM me.

It didn't help

I Have had the same problem and gave my M1000 a fixt IP adres yours should be something like 192.168.1.12 or at least something else as what your pc has further I always setup the nameservers you can find them to type in a dosbox ipconfig/all the DNS servers there you have to steup in the configuration of the networkcard from your phone , which can be found at settings /connextions/networkadapters there you will find the Sandiskcard just click on it and the settings for it will apear.
Now you should have connextion then still your PDA don't now that it has to use the networkadapter to get a connextion so you have to tell it to him at conections/settings/select network and there select twice work Network, this is only for your internetconnextion true your browser but email needs a other setting which you can find at your email client/tools/options/accounts/your emailaccount/next/next/next/options/there you selct work network/next finnish and now you should have full internetacces with your phone true your accespoint, if you want to use your phone to get your email just change the settings from work to providor internet, it seems to be a little complcated but it gives me at least a verry stabele internetconnection
Sucses with it

I get that message when im too far from the hotspot

OpenVPN, Rogers Canada and TAP

Hi all,
I've been searching high and low for any help on using OpenVPN on my Rogers TyTN. Does anyone have experience with this? I cant connect via Wifi or GPRS and cannot seem to access my TAP device (never loads??).
Any help please!
Thanks.

Are you using the "basic" (standard?) GPRS/3G access point node (APN)? If you're connecting to internet.com, then you are and VPN apps (including the one built into WM) won't work. You need to call Rogers and up your data service to the "VPN" level. The APN for this is vpn.com. It will cost you $10 per month over and above what you're paying for data now.
Basically the difference is this: The internet.com APN is behind a NAT gateway (firewall). The IP address you get is a private address. Some ports (e.g. Port 47 needed for all VPN protocols) are blocked. The vpn.com APN is connected directly to the Internet and the IP address you get is a public Internet address. Lastly, no ports are blocked.
Hope this helps.

A challenge for the Profs

I can`t go into the Web via T-Mobile after I went into the web via WLAN
My wlan configuration is as follows:
network: Broadcom 802 DHD etc...
IP: I must put it in
Subnet 255.255.0.0
Standardgateway 172.16.1.1
DNS 172.16.1.1
Only when I erase the configuration I can go into the Web via T-Mobile but then
I can`t go into the Web visa WLAN
Crazy

What I get is that there is a "DNS error" when I try to go into the web via T-Mobile....

Is the challenge to guess your Windows version, ROM and installed applictions, browsers etc?
There's a thread for Q&A's, this is ROM Development.

Windows version: WM 6.1
ROM: The original rom from HTC
browsers: opera and IE
Pls help me because all WLAN and T-Mobile codes seem to be right

Although you dind't specify anything about the ROM and OS version you have, I can tell you a little about the way IP addresses work and why you're not having internet.
Every computer on the internet has an IP address and that is used to identify it. However there are on a home network more than one computer, so you have a router that re-routes your internet through it's own range of IP addresses. Meaning you get an IP from your provider, which your router stores, and your router gives all computers in a network an IP address. This way every computer in your network can connect to the internet without the ISP having to give you more than one IP address.
Normally routers work with a technique called DHCP, dynamic host configuration protocol, which allows all computers in the network to communicate and share addresses. So without having to enter information manually a computer knows that the DNS is 172.16.1.1 (for example) and that it's IP is 172.16.1.*. If you disable this technique you must enter the information manually.
This isn't a problem until you need to connect to more than one network. Since every network has it's own set of IP ranges, it's own DNS, etc. So when you connected to your WiFi and manually entered information for your home network you disabled the ability to connect to T-Mobile yourself. Since the IP you get from T-Mobile isn't the same as you use in your WiFi network.
The other way around is the same, when you connect to T-Mobile your getting an IP address assigned automatically, howevery our WiFi network doesn't give you one automatically and thus resulting in no internet connection.
I hope that made sense to you, kept it as simple as possible. Also I hope you can fix the problem... normally you can do that by enabling DHCP in your router by logging in into the device. (You usually do this by entering the IP address of the default gateway into your webbbrowser.)

KilZone - thank you so much for your kind answer !!!
I do only have an access point no router ?
Is this possible too ?

I think the access point functions as a router too, not sure about that, but you can try by entering the default gateway into your browser and see where you end up.

[Q] Why I cannot configure my Spice Android One Dream Uno with BSNL wi-fi modem

My recent bought Spice Android Dream Uno MI498 cannot be configured with static IP address. My BSNL wi-fi modem has already been configured due to which I connect my windows laptop & desktop PC simply by putting IP address as 192.168.1.10/11/12 etc. But in my Dream Uno, under > Settings, there is no wireless options/wireless settings so that I can put IP address, subnet mask & default dateway. With Wi-fi ON, I am getting "Obtaining IP address" & the phone stops here. Can any of my friends here help me configuring the phone for connecting to net . I use Huawei WA1003A modem.

In PC, Open any internet browser and type 192.168.1.1 in address bar and hit enter. Fill in username and password as "admin". Now go to Wireless Network and click on MAC address filter. Then under select Whitelist and type the MAC address of your phone in the column below. Reboot your modem. TA- DA phone connected

Wifi thethering: connected device does not get IP address

Hello, I am trying to use my (rooted, Android 6.0.1) Moto X Play as WiFi hotspot for an iPhone 5S. I have setup the hotspot with WPA2 PSK.
On the iPhone I can see the network, connect, enter password. The connection then gets an orange text "No internet connection". When I check the settings, the IP address is in the 169.254 range, and the DNS and router/gateway IP addresses are empty.
I tried both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz, with the same result.
I also tried to connect to the hotspot from a laptop running Windows 10. That one also did not get an IP address.
What do I need to do to make the Wifi hotspot function?

In your apn settings in your phone look for apn type. It should say default. Add a comma "," and "supl"

Where am I supposed to do that? On the phone acting as a hotspot or on the phone (or laptop) that is connecting to it?
On my phone (which I want to use as a hotspot) the APN showed "default". I added ",supl", but that did not help. Turned phone off and on again, same result.
According to this website the supl APN type:
Indicates the current APN configuration may be used for Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) data, a feature that allows your phone to determine its geographic location from the carrier.
Normally, SUPL data will be able to use the same APN configuration as general internet data, so there will be no need to specify this value explicitly: it will be covered by "default" and will still work fine.
BTW: Yesterday the iPhone could connect to another iPhone, which was acting as a hotspot.
