I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point, and have configured the IP address manually (I know IP, dns and gateway are right)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help
Dave
Can you ping the XDA from any other station on the network ?
Is your network 802.11b or 802.11g or both ?
both
No, I can't ping the xda from anywhere else. The access point is both. I have two other stations - one on g and one on b.
thanks
Dave
Must be something in the config on the XDA.
If you look at the settings for the WiFi network card on the XDA what does it say it connects to..."Work" or "The Internet".
Try changing that and see if that helps.

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.
I had been successfully tethering via Bluetooth with WM6's Internet Sharing function, and was doing so in XP. Well we just took the Vista plunge and I'm having an issue. The Network Connections is showing my BT connection as "Local Only" meaning I can browse other pc's on the network, but I can't get to the internet. My WiFi connection to my router connects to the internet with no problem (The Wireless Connection shows "Local & Internet Access."
So I can not get out to the internet using my Tytn as my connection. I used the "Diagnose Problem" function in Vista, and it tells me that it cannot ping IP address 192.168.0.1. This is the IP address of my router. I don't want it to try to hit that IP address, but I can't find a way to tell it NOT to. All the settings in TCP/IP protocol are set to obtain an IP address automatically. But it seems that even while using BT as the connection, it still wants to get to my router first, even though I'm not using my WiFi at all. I even tried disabling the WiFi connection. Still the same issue.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the pc to stop trying to get my router first?
Thanks!
Tell me about it! It took me an age to find some drivers that worked with my bluetooth, I ended up using the Toshiba stack. After a lot of fiddling I got it working but when it runs it is very hit and miss and I have yet to transfer anything between devices let alone surf the net! Have you tried the bluetooth set up wizard?

The internet sharing function on the TyTn used 192.168.0.1
You are saying that your router is also using the same address range.
That is a no-no. Change the router address to 192.168.1.1, and I think you will see better results.
@boz - Actually I have no issues connecting to Vista via Bluetooth, and all profiles work great (I'm using the latest Broadcomm stack). My issue is in my Network Connections, not BT itself.
@Wildbill - the Tytn is not using 192.168.0.1. The PC is trying to ping that IP address because it is the address of my wireless router, and the first time I ever accessed the net with that pc, I did so via WiFi through my wireless router at home. Now, what I am trying to do though is get on the internet in my car, while nowhere near my wireless router. But my pc still seems to want to get to my router as though I'm trying to connect to the net via Wifi, when I'm actually just trying to get to it through my phone. The PC connects to the phone with no problem, and the phone is connected to the internet, But, my problem is that I can't figure out how to tell my pc to NOT look for my wireless router's IP address first.
BT DUN was so much easier with Cingular. I wish one of the cooks could figure out how to get the DUN profile back into WM6's BT stack.
I am really confused here.
When you use Internet Sharing on the TyTn, You are using the Tytn to allow other devices to access the Internet thru the TyTn.
When you do that, the TyTn hands out the address of 192.168.0.100 and it is the gateway, and the Gateway address is 192.168.0.1.
If you have your home router using the same address range, you have the PC that the Tytn is sharing it's internet connection with seeing to addresses within the same range, and two gateways with the same address - The PC LAN card is seing the router at 192.168.0.1 and the Buetooth PAN is seing the phone gateway at the same 0.1 That is what I was trying to say. It won't work like that.
Oh ok I see what you're saying. I was assuming that when it gave me the error, that it was trying to ping my router since I knew that to be my router's address. I did not realize that the Tytn used such a similar gateway.
To correct what I said in my first post: I said that it was trying to ping "IP address"... the exact error message reads "Connot Communicate with DNS Server 192.168.0.1"
It shows a nifty little diagram of the PC connected to the Cingular Bluetooth network connection, then another line connecting to a picture of earth, which they call "internet," but there is a red "X" over that line showing that it can't connect to internet. When you click on Diagnose problem, the above error message is what comes up.
So now, I need to make sure I understand what you are saying Wildbill. I see what you mean from your post... being that I don't connect to my router anymore, ever, at all (since the pc never comes out of the car anymore, and I'm way out of range of my wireless router even in the driveway) what do I need to change? Everything in TCP/IP protocol settings are set to obtain addresses automatically.
Another interesting thing to note is that I did not have this problem when I had XP in my car, and I connected to my wireless router with that pc too. But Internet sharing worked fine with it.
If the only things connected are the TyTn and a PC, then the PC will obtain an IP from the TyTn, and it will be 192.168.1.100. It will tell the pc that the gateway is 192.168.0.1, which is the TyTn. Since the TyTn has Bluetooth 2.0, I would speculate that you could connect additional BT devices to the same BT PAN, and the TytN would likely hand out additional addreses like 0.101, 0.102, etc. I have not tried that nor have I read about it.
See that's what I gathered too. So I don't know why it can't get out to the internet, unless it's that Vista just won't let it for some reason. This bugs me because Internet Sharing worked fine in XP, and BT DUN works fine with Vista with my other phone. Unfortunately I'm getting rid of that phone. If my Tytn had a DUN profile in the BT stack I'd be fine. Weak.
i tehering in wm6 vista using bluetooth ban
This is how i fixed the problem. after 2 days of RND
Activated hotspot on my arc, and waited for my laptop to connect. After you get connected your laptop adapter will show limited connectivity/no internet.
Now go to the market and download "Network info"
open network info and find out the IP address of your device.
it will be something like 192.168.43.1
now go to to your wireless setting of your laptop, and change the settings to DHCP to static.
if your phone has IP 192.168.43.1
Then configure your laptop's ip 192.168.43.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway will be your phones IP. ie 192.168.43.1.
dns 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
DONE
Guys I am in over my head here, I've watched way too many YouTube videos and guides and I still cant get this.
I have 2 galaxy nexus phones and I am trying to leave one at home running the app IP webcam and taking video. That phone will be connected to my WiFi network at home. Then I am trying to use my other nexus phone running Tinycam Monitor and connected to Verizon's 4g network, to connect to that phone and stream me live video from home.
Now basically I am looking for someone who has set this up correctly or who could help talk me through this.
I have set up a static ip address
I went to my linksys routers web address and tried to port-forward ports 8080 and 80 which are the ones I need
Its not working though and it keeps saying failed connection on the phone. I think I am just typing in something wrong or missing a step.
Can anyone try and help me through this?
Use your IP address and 100 instead of 80

Where are you talking about? You mean when I am forwarding the port on the linksys web interface? It asks me for the internal and external port (which I am typing in 8080) and then it asks for the "to ip address"
I am really unsure of what to put in the "To IP address" field. It shows my ip address but leaves blank the last few digits. Am I supposed to get that information from the phone from which I will be viewing the video?

Thanks for the reply, but I am still a little confused on what you are trying to say.
When I start up IP webcam it begins the video and it gives me an ip address and port number to connect to it. (this phone is on home wifi)
When I type those detail in tinycam monitor on my other phone (connected to verizon network), I add a new camera, set it to IP webcam for android, type the the previous ip hostname and port but it always fails to connect
I understand I need to portforward the port I am using to allow it to connect but I dont think I am doing that correctly
Make sure you port forward on your router to allow the connection.

What happens if you turn on Wifi on your phone? Does it work then? You need the public domain IP address where your DVR is connected. I have the info. at home. I'll grab it tomorrow in case you still need the info.

Yeah handle223 that is the step where I believe that I am messing up at. I followed a guide that said I need to port forward 8080 and 80 ports so I tried to do that. I'm just not sure what to enter into the "to ip address" field on linksys website. Am I supposed to put my computers ip or something from either of the phones?

Sounds good man thanks
Essentially, what you need to do is:
1. Set your home phone up with a static IP address. You can normally do this by connecting your phone to wifi, and then going to the control interface for your router and fixing the IP address to that device (look under DHCP settings).
2. Forward an external port (e.g. 8080) of your static home IP address to the http port (80) on the IP address you just assigned permanently to your home phone. This will be under port forwarding in your router interface. The internal port is the one the home phone tells you when you start the webcam program.
3. Contact your ISP and ensure that a) you have a static IP (if not, you can register a dynamic one at e.g. dyn.com, and get software which will update it periodically); and b) that port 8080 is not blocked at their end. You can check your home external IP address on your router page, or if you cbf, go to ip4.me in a web browser and it will tell you.
4. With your external phone, with the wifi off, set your viewer up so that it looks for your router's external IP address and port 8080.
NOTE:
This is not a particularly sophisticated way of setting this up. Please consider the possibility that a technologically competent thief could use this as a way of casing your joint so they can rob you while you're out. Please at least a) ensure you have a strong password on your camera; and b) consider using a non-standard port rather than 8080 as your external port.
The more sophisticated way of doing this involves being able to ssh into your home network using e.g. PuTTY, and using this connection to do tunneling. I run an SSH server on my nexus sometimes (though I don't use it for this purpose), so it is definitely possible for this to be your phone. You can then remote into your home network and then use the camera client as if you were connected via wifi at home. Sing out if you'd like a hand setting up SSH, as it's actually not as hard as it sounds.

To the OP, This is what you have to do. Everything is set up correctly on the phone is what it seems like but without a static IP from your internet service provider you're going to run into issues again the minute it changes it's IP address.
You'll have to connect to your router from the outside world (The internet) via the address that shows up in your router page under status. from there you connect to the port you specified with port forwarding and it'll connect to your phone from anywhere you're located outside of your home wifi.

Yes! That was extremely helpful and thanks for describing it in detail.
It took me about 20 minutes but now it is working perfectly and I am able to stream live video from wherever I wish. (It is working better than I thought on 4g also)
I had to create a static id for my home mobile phone and that was under DHCP settings like you said. That allowed me to properly open up the ports
Thanks for the help everyone and I'm glad I didn't give up because this is pretty sweet, and also I do understand the risks.
On a side note, what kind of strain would this put on my extra nexus if I was running IP webcam 24/7? (while plugged in of course) Guess I will find out

Hi..
is it possible to do this with two mobile phones and without a static ip using mobile network only? somehow sending video signal to some free host using mobile internet?
like one phone stays at home connected to mobile internet as ip camera.. and with second I can watch the video from anywhere???
because when i create a local network with one and connect to it with other then all this works great...
OLD post i know but i figured id post in here just in case you guys are still around.
I have a S4 ( i don't think this matters)
But just like the OP. I have these 2 apps . The stream works fine in house (both on my wifi) but i cannot figure out how to get it connected off of wifi. the monitoring phone i am trying to use i turned the wifi off to use the 4glte but it just wont connect. I do have ports 8080 and 80 forwarded.
But what IP and port do i use the the connecting phones settings? the 192..... one is internal and works in the wifi but i tried that one and the external ip.... any ideas?
(the external IP i am using is the one from googling "whats my ip" inside the cams phone web browser so its the ip from the phone not pc)
