does NE1 have the answer to wifi not connecting to the net

im trying to get an internet connection through my wifi connection. i have done search's and lots of people seem to be asking the same question but nobody has the answer.
at the moment i can access my c: using an application called Resco explorer. but i can not connect to the internet. im not sure what setting i should have on the wifi manger and on my pc. im also using AOL as my isp.
PLS PLS help :lol:
Edit:
also i can not connect to activesync (version 3.8.0) via wifi. maybe if i was able to connect to this the internet would work as it does when its docked??????

looks like a no then

I got mine working but setting my wireless network adapter to connect to "Work".
Under Settings>Connections>Tasks>Manage existing connections>Proxy Settings> check the "This network connects to the internet" box
then
Under Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network" (and the same with one for private network)
Also in your active sync settings, make sure your connection settings allow network (Ethernet) and RAS connections.
From previous research around this, i'm pretty sure you can only use the internet pass through under "WORK" settings only.
*thought i'd better register and contribute as i've gained a fair bit from this forum.

no good anyother ideas. i have searched through hundreds of threads and still no go
help pls

Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings.

i have done this on both my wifi network and my isp network.
still not working

Have you checked if you're getting an IP address from your Wireless Router's DHCP server? Also DNS settings and Gateway address should be there.
You can check this easily by using vxUtil (free )

these are my settings:
tiacxwln1 - tiacxwln compatible wireless
Ip address 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1
primary DNS 192.168.0.1
secondary dns
primary wins
seconfdary wins
DHCPs server 192.168.0.1
under serial usb
IP address 192.168.55.101
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.55.100
primary DNS 127.0.0.1

Getting this error when I tried to allow my broadband connection to share with my wifi connection. If I unplug the wifi connection and try and share with another network I don’t get any errors.
Internet connection sharing (ics) cannot be enabled due to IP address conflict on the network. ICS requires the host be configured to use 192.168.0.1 please ensure that no other client on the network is configured to use 192.168.0.1

hmmm ... ever had the same problem. all devices are able to connect to the same router except mine sx66.
then i change the router's channel to '1' .. tada .. now everyone is connected. it might sounds silly, but it worked for me.
try changing your ap wireless channel.

i found the problem with activesync 3.8 and 4.0 somehow, so i reverted back to 3.7, now wifi can sync.
afaik, connecting to internet has nothing to do with activesync. its a direct connection to wifi router. use work location and check the proxy settings if u hv any? (at home i use connect to internet without proxy, at work i use connect to internet with proxy).
Also, for Activsync with wifi, make sure that the WINS server address is that of yr PC u want to sync with.

[Q] Connectify - With HTC Desire

Guys,
I recently came across connectify app and installed it on my Windows 7 laptop. It installed just fine and created a WIFI Hotspot for me.
But when I try to connect to that WIFI Hotspot from my desire , it keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address from Connectify" and never connects. I am not sure what's wrong , something in my Desire or something with Connectify or if I need to fix some settings in my Win7 laptop ?
Can someone please advise.
FYI - Windows 7 is connected to a my workplace LAN and requires a proxy authentication if i need to access internet.
Thanks in advance;

Even I'm facing problems connecting to Connectify.
I suspect that IP address is not getting assigned since there are no DHCP servers running on the PC. That might be the first problem
Second thing is, even if I run a dhcp server (I'm yet to do it...) in my PC, I think the wifi and ethernet might be on the same or different network based on how the dhcp server is configured. But setting Default Gateway and DNS settings are whats getting me confused.
If I can find some Idle time, i can experiment and try it.. If anyone is already using it successfully, they can post on how to do it here.. will be very helpful.
My laptop is connected to my ADSL modem via ethernet cable, and I'm connecting the mobile to my Laptop's wifi (Via connectify which makes the WLAN in laptop appear as an Access point). This connectify should share the wired internet to my mobile via Wlan but i'm have not yet found how to set it up..

old post i know, but i wanted to chime in and let these people know that the latest beta fixes these problems. at least it now works for me on my eris

I have the same problem with Connectify 2.0.1.15550, what version are you using?

I found the 2.1 beta, all working now. Thanks.

I had the same problem with connectify and I sincerely suggest you to try Virtual Router. It's crappy but it works.
You can get it here:
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/releases/view/36035
Good luck!

I had the same issues and can confirm that virtual router works straight away!

Turn off Windows Firewall...
... at least untill you get the IP.
About proxy, that's a whole other story. Still messing with Transproxy, but no success yet.

Hey. I tried Connectify put I got the 'obtaining IP address' problem.
So I tried Virtual Router ... but again I have having problems 'obtaining IP'.
I am trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy S to my Windows 7 Laptop.
Help me...
Thanks guys

Connectify`s main usage is to share the wired broadband to the mobile using wifi in laptop as a hotspot. It should be fairly straightforward but needs to set some settings correctly. It would be great if someone for whom its working to post it setp-by-step. Will be really helpful.
And strangely there are no guides on the net on how to set it up exactly in wondows 7 and connectify homepage does not give any useful info.

I keep getting "obtaining IP address from..." on my Android device...
why is this?
Virtual Router or connectify don't work..
is it because android does not support Ad-Hoc?
I have running Froyo 2.2 though...
Any help?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't know if it's really the same problem here but I also had some issues with Windows 7, connectify and the devices I tried to connect.
After following the steps to create a wifi hotspot, I had to deactivate the windows firewall on the private networks (I specified to windows that the connectify network was a private network).
There should be a way to setup the correct permission in the firewall's permission table to make it work properly... Unfortunatly I haven't find it yet.
So it's a quick fix. Hope it will help you.

This will fix the Galaxy S's inability to connect / locate ad-hoc networks

Hi guys,
Am new to this forum and new to smartphones.
i faced the same problem in connecting my Wildfire to PC with connectify.
finally i got my own way to sort it out
as most of u got till "obtaining IP address" next is
menu>settings>wireless and networks> wifi settings.
in that again menu>Advanced .
fill these settings
1. check on the static IP
2. IP addres = 192.168.2.2
3. Gateway = 192.168.2.1
4. netmask = 255.255.255.0
5. dsn1 = 8.8.8.8
6. dsn2 = 8.8.4.4
now close wifi and restare wifi Hope it will work. It worked for me

You need this file for the Desire - search around XDA. You might have to download version 6 of the file.
When you download it, flash it from recovery.
Meanwhile, create an adhoc network on your laptop or wherever, configure the IP address (192.168.137.1 is the IP of the laptop - Windows, for some reason or another, doesn't like sharing on other IPs, though I haven't tried lately) and set your encryption to WEP.
Share your connection from LAN, and you're good to go. On the phone, the adhoc networks will be represented with an asterisk, like
(*)network

none of them work on win 7 64 bit - on win 7 32 bit I cen get IP, on 64 bit cant, whan assigned static IP by below at previous posts, I can connect, but internet does not work.

i came here from google as well. i had the obtaining ip address issue with connectify on win xp and zte blade with cyanogenmod (N142). thanks to this post, i solved the obtaining ip issue, and my phone managed to connect to connectify. apparently: my phone doesn't appear in clients tab in connectify, and my phone doesn't transfer any data traffic. so from the phone it looks like connected, but from connectify no.
edit: i found out that i succesfully connect to connectify with my smartphone only the first time i try (because it worked the very first time i used connectify and the first time i tried again after a complete reset of my phone). then, if i disconnect/reconnect, i find the "obtaining IP"/"no data traffic" issues. of course, resetting my phone each time i want to use my laptop's wifi isn't very handy..

same here, couldnt believe my luck when it worked first time with my HD2 and galaxy.
but like you say, it was a one-hit-wonder and pulled my hair out for next hour trying to re-connect but same "obtaining IP" probs.
anyone throw some light on this???????

[Q] Problem with WPA TKIP?

I cannot get my Desire to connect to my router via wi-fi. It works fine when the network is set to open - ie no WPA but will not connect with WPA TKIP enabled.
I can connect to 2 other WPA-protected wifi networks OK - both these use a simple text 'password key')
The router is a Vigor 2600G and works fine with other wi-fi devices (eg Xbox)
The TKIP code is a 64 character hexadecimal code - is this a problem for the way WPA is implemented by the Desire/Froyo?
Any help/advice gratefully received!

Works fine on my O2 router on WPA2 so don't see why it wouldn't work...

I had the same issue with a linksys, I ended up just assigning an IP to the desires MAC address which solved the issue, for me anyway.

I don't see why it wouldn't work either! Like I say, it works fine for me on 2 other routers - both on WPA, just not my home one!
It connects almost instantly when I disable the network WPA security. I have tried reserving an IP address for the Desire - which is therefore the IP address allocated by the router to the 'phone when it connects OK when security is disabled. However this doesn't help when WPA is enabled.
I can't help thinking that it is the TKIP key that is the problem - it's as if I have the wrong key although I have checked and rechecked 6 times at least. Are you guys using a 64 character hexadecimal code or a simple text phrase as your passwords? My router (Draytek 2600G) insists on either a 32 character ASCII code or a 64 character hexadecimal one which works fine on my other wireless devices inc my Xbox.
In other words does the Desire work with WPA TKIP or only WPA AES?
Not being able to use wifi at home is really a major pain!

mine works with TKIP... cant tell you how many times I have typed in that long key re: new roms/wipes.
mines some tp-link 108mbps router btw.

try to setup on vigor wpa2 only.
Wlan - settings - security on vigor.
wpa works with tkip but wpa2 works with aes.

Try to change WiFi channel in the router.

Tried using wifi analyser - confirms channel strength is OK. Tried several channels - no good.
Bloody TKIP!!!!!!!

WPA Problem Solved for me!
I change the Registry value "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\DisableWPA"
From "1" to "0"
and now everything is fine.....

Cisco access point

I have a cisco WAPN610 access point. I have my desktop, google tv, xbox360 and my wdhdtvlive hooked up to it via wireless. I can't get my phone to obtain an ip address from this. I can connect to the router that is connected to my access point, but can't figure out why my phone won't connect. Google told me to try and use only B/G networks, but that didn't work.
Anyone have this same issue, or know of something I can try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Under wireless networks on your phone does it see the access point? Just won't pick up an IP address??
Are you able to connect your phone to any other wireless networks?? Public Wifi at starbucks or McDonalds or something??
Could either be a bad WPA authentication or faulty wireless radio in your phone if other devices work.
Have you tried forgetting the network under wireless and networks then rebooting the phone just to be sure it's gone then re connect?

thanks for replying. I can access wifi at work and I can at my friends house. Whenever there is an open connection, it works like a charm, but for whatever reason, when I try to connect at home, it connects, but won't obtain an IP address. I think I can set it up manually and use a static IP. I was doing some googling at work and found something. Very confusing to say the least.
And yes, I have tried to forget it and all that.
thanks again for trying!

how many dhcp leases do you have setup? Depending on how many devices connect, i typically don't setup anymore than 10, but i would try increasing that. What encryption are you using? wpa2/wpa? Is it broadcasting in n or g or is it setup for mixed.

I'm not sure how many dhcp leases I have set up, but I only have 3 things connecting to the access point. My google TV, Wii, and my desktop. I had it set to broadcast mixed (b,g and N) but changed that to just b/g as another suggested. I am also using wpa2.

[Q] Wifi connected but no internet . please help !

My wifi at home worked perfectly fine until about a week or two ago. Since then when I connect to my home wifi it appears to be connected with 5 bar signal but the internet is not working . Sometimes I have internet for few seconds, but than it's gone.
I tried 3 different roms including stock , viperx and cyanogenmod 11 all with the same problem.
What do you suggest me to do ?

are you sure it's not a router issue?

I just tried to use my laptop as a wifi hotspot and it worked so the router seems to be problematic .
But I have 2 laptops connected to the same router and are working fine.
Maybe some bad settings
My router uses Openwrt with most settings default.

check if something like parental control is enabled or if the hox mac number is blacklisted... check also if there are conflicts in dhcp and ip reservation....

I would disable DHCP in your phone and put a static ip.
Hold down on the network name till a windows pops up then go on Modify Network>Show Advanced Options>Ip Settings>Static
IP Address: 192.168.x.128 (The X depends on what range your router is. Just do an ipconfig on your laptop to see, 1 is the most commonly used)
Gateway: 192.168.x.x (That is your router address do ipconfig on your laptop to find the 'Default Gateway'
DNS 1: 192.168.x.x (Same as the router as most routers have their own DNS)
DNS 2: 8.8.8.8 (I normally put google's )

I wasn't able to find parental controls on my openwrt router firmware. I am pretty sure mac filtering is not enabled.
