he told me that my problem is not with my wifi card or in the network.
he told me that from unknown reason, i don't get an IP address.

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

I get that message when im too far from the hotspot

WiFiMAX

Hi.
I've just bought a HTC Touch, and Im trying to setup a WiFi spot with my WiFi dongle from my PSP. It's a 802.11g USB adapter. I've tryed numorus combinations, but my smartphone cant connect to the access point.
My network:
[internet (one IP)] -> Router (IP:192.168.2.1):
Rounter connection #1: My PS3 (IP:192.168.2.200)
Rounter connection #2: PC (IP:192.168.2.100):
- WiFi dongle connected to PC (IP: 192.168.2.150)
When I leave the IP settings to dynamic I get a network error, so I try to define IPs in the TCP/IP Protocol of the WiFi dongle:
IP address: 192.168.2.150
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.2.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.2.1
Alternate DNS server: blank
I've also tryed the DNS and Default gateway to my PC (192.167.2.100), but my Touch couldn't connect to the spot, although my PC recognizes my phone MAC address. I don't have any firewalls, antiviruses etc.
Any ideas?

VPN setup: L2TP/PPTP

Hey Folks - maybe somebody can shed some light on VPN setup WM5/6
HTC-AT&T tilt / HTC-Tmobile 8125
I can't get either phone/network connection working for L2TP - I'll set up the connection on the server for PPTP, but for now let focus on L2TP
First - my Openswan server accepts L2TP connections from my laptop, so I know that the server side is OK
Second - I have used the Settings/Connections menu and added a modem under My Work Network, same settings as the modem for the Media Net(default network)
Modem details:
Name: Number
VPN1 wap.cigular
Select modem: Cellular Line(GPRS,3G)
Access point: wap.cingular
no user/pass/Domain
server assigned IP address
added a VPN with the same setting I use on my laptop
and try to connect by 'manage my existing connections' clicking the connection and 'connecting' it opens a 3G(At&T) connection I see the timer ticking if I check the connection. I don't think the network connection is right on the T-Mobile connection - no timer for a connection.(anybody have the T-Mobile network settings)
VPN1:
name: test
hostIP:XX.183.105.172
vpn: L2TP
preshared key
username & password
server assigned IP
But I get no data in the browser URL http://192.168.30.30
I see in the browser a info msg saying locating, and then it says opening...
but nada on either phone.
PC pops the web page up with no problem,
Third - yes I do have data plans for both phones ;-)
Lastly - yes my PC address is NATed, and I don't THINK that the AT&T address is NAT'ed (anybody??)

I ran across this : http://www.tutorials-win.com/PocketPC/PPTP-Issues/
which details entering dot'd addresses as an exception or it will drop the connection, which is what it looks like it is doing for a straight IPSEC connectio via TheGreenBow sw(which does not pass data either)
Here are the logs on the server from the laptop:
Feb 3 18:29:18 fc5 l2tpd[9768]: Connection established to 74.166.195.61, 1701.

Feb 3 18:29:23 fc5 pppd[9773]: remote IP address 192.168.130.130
I think that the compression control msg is MPPE but it should not be...
Any and all thoughts are welcome - I'm pulling what little hair I have left out...
Many Thanks

Hi Bob
Ok
First thing do not create a modem under the my work network section it needs to connect using the internet modem. If you have a modem under my work network it will try to directly access your work network via this modem and not start the vpn connection.
You should only have the modem section filled out for the connection for the internet. So Under settings connections you should have wap.cingular setup for internet. You can then setup the vpn settings in the my work network under edit my vpn servers. In this section you can press on the vpn and select connect.
Or you can make it connect automagically by adding exceptions for intranet addresses in the settings/connections/advanced section. ie *.my.domain.com/* or */* for everything etc.
One other problem if the wap.cingular is using the same nated address range as your internal network you will also have problems. ie if cingular use 10.x.x.x and you internal network is 10.x.x.x.
Regards
Stephen

PPTP VPN connections will not work on the wap.cingular APN. wap.cingular uses a NAPT to generate your IP address. NAPT does not support GRE packets which are necessary for PPTP VPN connections. However, I have read it is possible to setup an IPSec VPN across the NAPT server, although I have never done it.

Help me to setup wlan enabled adsl modem. [ Solved ]

Hello,
Yesterday I got a wlan/wifi enabled adsl modem/router for my broadband connection which uses telephone line. I wanted to use the wifi output given by the modem, for my ppc in my home for internet. Something like wireless home networking. As this is the first time, I don't know or I'm a noob. The security settings in modem are :
Network Authentication: Open
WEP Encryption: disabled
When I search wifi signal, My ppc detects the modem; Says connecting and after few mins says unavailable so it don't connects.
Here is the manual : Link
Please help................
Solved : The modem was setted to "Bridging" ( Manual Connecting ) and after setting it to "PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)" ( Auto connect ), The internet in my ppc is working fabulous.
Thanks and regards

Ok, now my PPC says connected. When I assigned ip in network adapters->wlan setting ( SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter ).
But another problem here, Cannot use the net. Mean, IE or weather report or IM don't connect to internet.

Is there any MAC filtering set on the box? Are you getting a genuine IP lease, or is it a Windows auto-configured setting (169.254.x.x)?

Just looked at the manual - other things to check:
Is NAT (page 48) enabled?
Is DHCP Server (page 55) enabled on the box with correct IP range, subnet mask and gateway IP?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
First, It was auto configured IP setting so in my ppc it was not connecting but after assigning the IP ( IP : 192.168.1.2, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Gateway : 192.168.1.1 ) the ppc says connected.
OK, I will checkout that NAT and DHCP.
Thanks again.

Hey buddy,
This is right down my alley, if you still need some assistance just pm me.

VPN not working

I asked this question in a Rom thread because I'm not sure if the VPN is not working bc of the specific ROM or bc my device is rooted...
Has anyone tried using a vpn on this rom? I use witopia, and when connected to my vpn, I'm not able to access Internet at all. Just trying to figure out what's going on.
More info: the folks over at witopia said that some roms may be incompatible for vpn use.
When using WiTopia, I went to their instructions for Android following this method:
IPSEC VPN Setup
Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> VPN -> ADD VPN
Set the following:
Name: (Any Name You Want)
Type: IPSec Xauth PSK (MUST BE THIS)
Server Address: Click Here for Server Names
IPSec Identifier: WiTopia
Pre-Shared Key: witopia
Save
Connecting
Click on the name of the VPN to which you wish to connect.
Enter your VPN Username*** (will usually be W\YourEmailAddress)
(example: W\[email protected])
I have done this exactly, the VPN shows connected but I can't access the internet at all. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Here's a few places to look:
The "Use Encryption" box should be checked in the VPN connection settings on the android device, when using IPSec
Try getting the Android device connecting to the VPN server (by IP address) over the local wireless network first, before you try it over the Internet. Your router may be blocking it.
On that point, make sure that the appropriate ports are forward on your router, TCP Port 1723 and GRE Protocol 47 must be opened/enabled and for L2TP ensure UDP port 1701 is not blocked also UDP ports 500 and 4500 if using IKEv2 for the VPN tunnel.
Hope it could help.
