Hi Everyone:
I recently tried activesyncing with my exchange server over wifi and got an error message saying that activesync cannot start as the mobile phone was off. I was traveling in Japan and since they don't support GSM I was hoping that using the wifi connection I would be able to get my email. Does Activesync over wifi only work between the xda and the laptop/desktop?
Thanks,

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I cannot perform a VPN connection using WIFI, but it works fine with GPRS. So, the VPN server is fine.
Whenever I do an activesync, or click the link to connect my VPN server... it says "Connecting to <VPN server>"... and then after a few seconds, nothing! No error message.
Am I missing something here? How can I troubleshoot this problem?
I am using Pocket PC 2003
Fixed it!
Ok, so I was wrong: there is no error message because it does connect to the VPN server - except that it disconnects after 2 seconds.
I was using the latest T-Mobile ROM 1.42, and so I downgraded to Orange 1.40: same problem... and finally... back to... 1.31!
And it works! The VPN is stable, and works as expected.
Has anyone been able to use a VPN connection using ROM 1.40 or 1.42?
Hi guys,
Having some trouble connecting my Orbit to the internet through wi-fi...
I set my desktop to share internet connection through wireless and have been surfing on my laptop via this for ages...
Now when I switch Wi-Fi on the orbit on, it finds the network, put my WEP key in and it connects... then when I go into IE and go to a page it says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings click "settings"......."
When I click settings it just takes me to the page that says
"My Work Network
Add a new modem connection
Add a new vpn server connection
Set up my proxy server"
Can anyone help with what the heck I need to be doing to get the internet working?!?!
Cheers
GK
UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing the message (supposedly still connected through wi-fi to the internet) the Orbit beeped at me and message said
"Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"
Could that be whats causing the problem and how can I fix it?
Cheers

Solved my own problem thanks to the BBC website...
What are the chances of this happening on the same night as I get my XDA and try to set up my wireless...

Lmao, so is everything working now ?
It works well with WIFI connected. I am running my Desire as it came out of the box and cannot seem to surf or sync exchange with my 3G network. I switched phone this morning with Touch HD which was working fine. Is there a setting I am not familiar with in Android or is this a bug ? Is there a workaround ?
thank you for your answers
When you initially configured your Exchange account, was that through the Wifi connection?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I had to because my Desire wouldn't connect to server if I didn't do it through WIFI (out of the box)
And does this work from any wireless access point? Over 3G can you access your Exchange server using a browser? (https://yourserver/exchange) I presume you're using SSL?
I suggest that the APN for your network is not set up on your device.

Did u try to reboot your desire? I had the same Problem but after a restart it worked perfectly.
Hello everyone,
I have flashed my Tmobile branded TP2 with energyrom, using its builtin WIFI router I am able to share my internet connection and tether my laptop and ipods to the phone, however when i use the internet sharing via usb, windows 7 says there is no internet connection (not valid IP address)
I am using the 2.99 a month tzones internet, been using it never had a problem with tethering over usb until now, not sure why it stopped working.
Hi there guy's and gal's
I have and odd one I have not encountered before. I have 2 wireless connections at home and when I connect to wifi 1 the phone tells me there is no connection to the internet via that AP.
Yet when I connect to wifi 2 it does not give the same message.
I have turned off the feature "warn when no internet connection"
When I connect via either wifi with mobile data turned off I do get internet, I know there is internet there so I am at a loss why the phone gives me the message saying no internet when there clearly is.
Any ideas on this or should I just live with it and keep the warning message about there being an Internet connection turned off.
I am running the stock firmware and the handset is not rooted. Is as it came to me from factory.
Thanks in advance.
