How to use WiFiFoFum on a xda2s

My XDA2s it set up in the normal way, i have changed one of the WiFi setting so i can do Activesync at home with my laptop over WiFi.
My problem is when i am out i turn on the WiFi then turn on WiFiFoFum and when it finds a unsecure network i hold the stylus on the line displaying the details of the found network and click connect. But it never connects.
if i close WiFiFoFum then wait for the normall PPC program to tel me about a connection. I can connect fine. i have tried this with the standard PPC program set to "connect to unsecure networks automatically" and do not connect automatically. but i have tried to connect using WiFoFoFum but never can.
I know how stupid all this sound but can someone pleae let me know what setting they use and typically how they would connect to a network they found using WiiFoFum
Thanks
John

It doesn't sound stupid. I have the exact same problem. At work theres two networks, on open without wep and another with wep where i dont have the key. The phone keep connecting to the the wrong network all the time. Wififofum is unable to connect to another network for me.
My workaround is to turn off wlan and retry. If that doesnt work I have to restart the phone.

just connect to AS 4 and use it (of couse your PC must have internet connection)

I'm using ActiveSync 4.1, WIFI to connect my PC to the internet and an USB port to synchronize my Pocket (SPV M3000 /Qtek 9100)
When my Pocket PC is connected to the PC, this "lock" the WIFI acces to the Internet. After synchronisation, it's necessary to reboot my computer to be ale to use the WIFI acces to internet.
Do you have an idea to correct this problem (this never happens before with ActiveSync 3.8) ?
Thanks in advance.

Thank God for that I'm having the same problem when i connect my wizard to my PC for active Sync my wifi in fact my internet connection locks up. When i look in network connections on my PC I have another Local Area Connection 3 ??????
But my web is locked ????
As soon as i disconect my wizard i loose the LAC3 but have to reboot my PC to get web acess again???
Anyone got any ideas???

I dont have wifi acces at home but when i connect to the pc which is connected to adsl, the wizard is also connected to the lan as i am able to surf the internet. It seems perhaps you have established another connection via your pc? my wifi is disconnected btw.

WiFi Active Sync 4.1 O2 XDA Mini s
I have the same problem. After a tip from someone on the MS Active sync forum who said it may be something to do with security I have worked out the following.
1) All computers loose all netork connections if they are connected to the router wirelessly and I try to Activesync.
2) If the Activesunc computer is connected to the router via CAT5 and I Active Sync then all is ok.
3) If I disable wireless security both WEP and WPA I can Activesync with my laptop connected wirelessly via to the router without loosing my network connections.
4) Something strange is happening still: When the PDA is connected to Activesync both computers keep popping up the UPNP icon telling me new network device found, even though its been connected for some time.
5) I have tested with WPA security, I will test with WEP next to see if it still has the same problem.

All computers loose all netork connections if they are connected to the router wirelessly and I try to ActiveSync.

I hit this issue with my home LAN when syncing via cable - all wireless clients dropped their connections and I got an earful from the lodger :roll:
I found that this doesn't occur when syncing via Bluetooth.

Mmm, thanks for the info - I spent hours trying to get this running yesterday and hitting the same problems - I actually cocked up my entire network and had to reboot everything! Will try bluetooth later...

Internet connection via Activesync

First time connecting phone to the Activesync, choosing to share an internet from the comp, but there is no inet connection when Activesync connected. It's always trying to connec to GPRS. When disabling phone module - there is no internet at all.
Did anyone have this problem?

Resolved.
Menu File->Connection setting - change Computer connected to: from Automatic to Internet.

Conection settings-usb to PC You must set (enable faster data synchronization) just when You want upgrade GPS data, but when You want again normal phone synchronization this option switch off!
I try this also and work!

How can i change the connection sequence?

Hi @all,
how can i change the connection sequence in my hd2?
When i connect the usb-cable to my pc, the wifi is changed to off, but i would wifi is connected.
Please Help and sorry for my bad english.
Thx
Norbert

While your phone is in active sync mode (connected to your pc) your pc is sharing its internet connection with the phone so why would you want to have wifi still on?

On working station, the PC Internet connection is blocking, so i want the connection over wifi or gsm.

if you're using windows mobile device centre (I think the same options are there with the old activesync too), with the phone unplugged, choose 'mobile device settings' from the green screen, then 'connection settings'.
Check the 'Allow data connections on device when connected to PC'. The wifi connection should then persist when the phone is syncing
(edit): on the old activesync PC program, it's under File/Connection settings

Thank you, that's it
