Hi,
maybe something im missing here but i was at a friends house the other day and he has a wireless access point set up (open with no encrption set up yet ...just for testing purposes). so basically he is broadcasting his SSID. I turned my wifi on my m2000 and it picked up his access point and showed me that my phone had connected, with the WIFI signal enabled...however i could not browse or use the net which tells me that i was not picking up an IP address...wats going on here? any clues?
thanks for any help

if the AP's DHCP sevice is off,you can't get the IP automatically
The DHCP is dodgy on my belkin router, so I have each PC and my BA set up to use a specific IP address, rather than rely on the iffy DHCP.
You may find you need to input a DNS if you do it this way.. just copy one off a working PC
Forgive me if I am talking utter c#$* but if you have established a connection have you not been allocated an IP via DCHP? Just taking a step back from router problems, when setting up the wireless connection did you set up for work or internet profile?
simjo, what you say is prefectly logical, but I have seen cases (as the thread poster was suggesting) where a connection has been created, but no IP addy issued. At these times, no internet access etc is possible. i.e. connection is said to be active, but it is useless.
My solution for this problem was as I posted above, dont bother with DHCP. Set IP addresses manually.
I have a similar problem on a new M2000 (so I'm probably overlooking something)
I can connect my PC and laptop to my router (D-Link 614) on WiFi without any problem
The M2000 can "see" the WiFi but there is no connection
When I try to view pages via GPRS there is no response
When I try MSN Messenger, same again there is no response
I've tried several soft and hard reboots, but no difference
I also find switching the "phone" on is very difficult as I am warned to "The phone is off. Do you want to turn Wireless on"
I then turn Flight Mode on, but am then warned that Orange GPRS cannot connect
I have managed to make some test phone calls, but the menus seem to be taking me round in circles...
Any advice welcome
My Best Roms - WIRELESS PROBLEMS FIXED!!
XDA IIs UK from O2 - WIRELESS PROBLEMS FIXED!!
1. Best ROM so far without doubt for me is the BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship from T-MOBILE
AND its the fastest ROM ive ever used!
2. Best ROM (slightly slower)
XDA 1.42 115 T-Mobile Firmware (uses Radio 1.13)
3. I-Mates 1.40 WWE with Radio 1.13
still had an issue with audio dropping from incoming calls
If you've seen any of my previous posts you'll see the hell i've been in trying to get anything to work with these ROMS, now it ALL works. and I dont say that lightly!
i tried the last 2 factory ROMS from O2 UK 140.237 & 140.242 which is there latest and I had WIFI nightmares with both of those..
I must have spent 30 hours swapping ROMs and this is the best Ive found so far now. Seamless Wireless Hookup everytime! I have Rude FM 88.2 Streaming Live through my Linksys Router at 64k 44khz using Pocket Music 3.2 , Surfing the Net, even the GPRS is stil enabled with the WIFI signal, a special lead pipes the audio to my Amplifier it's been on all day playing variouse stations, Windows Media Player streaming well, even download Skype over the XDA and installed it.
I was attempting to discover what the problem is as far as adding my Blue Angel WM2005 to my home network. I would like to be able to share files between my Pocket PC and other computers in my home in the normal way. Anyways....... I changed a setting within the Settings/Conections/Network Cards, folder. Problem is that I cant remember which adapter it was that I changed. Although my WIFI internet link still seems to work OK. I am totaly unable to connect with my desktop now and obviousley Active Sync wont work at all. Everytime I plug my Pocket PC into its stand. The computer displays a caution symbol in the conections list and says that there is a problem it. I also noticed that the IP adress on the desktop icon for the Pocket PC does not match the one on my Pocket PC.
If anyone knows the correct settings so that the IP adress will yet again be automaticaly detected and a link will establish. So that Active sync will work correctly, could they Please Please post a full and complete list of the settings for both the Desktop PC and my Pocket PC.
Thankyou
following on
Ok well, I still cant get active sync working at all. But my Conections folder on the desktop does at least show a good conection with the pocket PC. As for the WLAN conection to the wierless router, it seems to be a somewhat tempremental and connects ok sometimes and then refuses totaly other times. Also previousley the thing would automaticaly connect to the internet via the WLAN as soon as I enterd a web adress in Pocket Internet Explorer. Now I have to manualy connect the WLAN everytime, even so it only works about 40% of the time.
All this I would like to point out is as a result of me doing somthing in the conections folder on my Pocket PC. Because it all worked perfectly before hand. So I am 100% sure that all is needed is for the settings to be set correctly and it will all work great again.
folow on
I seem to have fixed pretty much all the problems on my WM2005 equiped SPVM200. However It was necesary to Hard boot again and reinstall everything. But the good thing is that now not only do all my netwok adapters work correctly, but the Ring Tones are at a good volume also. The one and only problem I have left is that I still cant get my back light sliders to work and full power on the backlight realy eats the battery. So if anyone has any solutions to that problem, please post them here.
Rob, I am thinking about upgrading my SPV M2000 to the windows pocket 2005 op system. Does this improve the bluetooth system. I currently have problems connecting my SPV to an integrated Bluetooth car kit and wondered i this upgrade would help. I think that I need Bluetooth vers 2.0 and also a sim access profile. Is thids included oin the 2005 op system? You may have guessed that I am new to this!!
Cheers
Looks like there's some wireless issues here -
I have a Dlink DI-524 b/g router, set to WEP with a small key.
Running WM5 - wireless fine.
Running WM6 Black edition 1.2 - Can see access point, says key is wrong.
Running WM6 Black edition 2.0 - Can see access point, says key is wrong.
Running WM6 XDA live... .20 - fine
Pretty sure XDA live .10 was fine as well, but that was a few weeks back now .
Tried all the settings available, WEP,WPA,WPA2,Hex keys, Ascii keys, no encryption at all..... no go. Can see the AP fine..... takes about 30 seconds before coming back with an incorrect key error.
Anyone else see this?
Sorry dude, Im using WEP 64bit key and works a treat (reception sucks in the loft though)
hmmmmm.
I've tried 64/128 bit keys and everything... perhaps its an issue with wm6/router software. What model AP are you using?
Just tried mine and it works flawlessly...
Maybe try and reset the router/wap?
Been there, done that as well
It's a bit of a puzzle.
It's strange that one flavour of WM6 works and not another. I might have to do a bit of scratching about in the registries/dll's of both and see if there's anything different.
But it's not too critical, as long as one version of WM6 works for me
WPA PSK TKIP running fine here......
No problems with WPA-PSK using TKIP on D-Link DSL-G604T.
Also fine here...
I am using the back 2.0 right now and I have no issue at all.
My settings are:
WPA2 AES RADIUS on a Dlink 2100 AP
from now on... can you please post all issues with Black 2.0 here
Wellll.... I was going to post there, but I was unsure if it was just a WM black issue or a larger one involving other flavours. I did a search before posting and there were hints of similar wireless issues with other roms and other people.
And I've found some sort of solution -
Flashed it back to WM black, finally managed to get it to connect with wpa-2 with an pre-shared AES key. After that, all connection modes work - open/wep/wps.
Will check the registry settings and see if there's anything obviously different now than from the default install.
Funny I was having a similar problem, but it was with WM 6 Black Edition V1.2.
My phone was not finding one of my wireless routers, even when I was standing right beside it, but it would connect to my other one fine. They are both identical and are setup identically, so I dont know why this was happening. It only happened with Black 1.2, XML, and LVSW were fine.
I just now flashed Black V.2 and everything is running fine again.
Very strange... it seems to be the opposite of what happened to you.
What type of router?
I have a router at my office - MN-700 by Microsoft - that causes this problem with all versions of WM6. You will have to reboot both your cable/dsl modem and router and all will be fine. All will be fine until you re-connect your phone via your USB cable and re-sync. After that, you'll be back in the same boat and have to reboot the modem and router.
I have two routers at home - one by dlink and one by linksys - and neither have ever exhibited similar behavior. Therefore, I think it more a router (perhaps firewall?) problem, than a problem with WM6.
I'm now $.02 in the hole....

you can
Start->Settings->Connections(Tab)->Wireless LAN ->Power Mode->Best Performance
The Setting is Maybe fine.
There's loads of us happily wifi-ing with Black V2.
I look after hundreds of clients wireless networks... and you may not be surprised to learn that 99.9% of wep problems where it says "incorrect key" are caused by...wait for it... an incorrect key!
Don't cut and paste the key. TYpe it in manually.
However - other options:
Do you have mac filtering enabled on router?
Have you set your device to ask for a specific IP address?
Have you set the device to max performance?
Finally... change the SSID of your home network. All the mucking about you have done may have left some residual mess in the device registry and it is getting confused.
also before typing just check in a word if you are typing the key correct... maybe theres a problem with your hw keyboard... and you don't know it...

hmm...i recently upgraded from WM5 to WM6 LVSW0326 ROM and faced this same problem...same setup, same router, same WEP and it worked for a while ...then it died. Refused to connect.
i am sure the WEP is correct as i have the same key on my other wireless devices... and know what is even more interesting? i disable WEP and my device connects ok!
so i know it is not the router or the wifi protion of my hermes, more like the ROM is not sending the network key properly...even after asking for it several times!
anyone has a cab for just the wifi portion?
edit: never had this issue with WM5 even with WEP enabled!
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...
i tried to post my problem in the 1.2 and 2.0 forums, but no one could help ....
i found a weird round about way to make this work every once in a while...
i would go to my network adapters > IEEE wifi adapter > change the specific ip to one that i knew it would work from my router...
this would make it connect, but woudln't work right....
so then when i change it back to "use server-assigned IP"... it would pick up the right address from my router and work .... and all would be fine.... but then when i turned off wifi and tried again, it would fail again.
a problem i see is when it's trying to detect my network, the IP address in the grayed-out box reads (fe80::209:2dff:feef) but when it would work correctly, it would have a normal IP address....
maybe there's something in the writing to the wifi that's different in america???

It's work! Thanks!
I did try "This is hidden network" and all the others' suggestions! This is the simpliest and workable method!
Thx again! I can surf by wireless Lan again!
I wonder if MS have seriously reduced the power output on the wireless when its set to BEST BATTERY. It seems a) its set to that by default rather than in the middle and b) quite a few people are having problems with their wifi.
I have Belkin N1 router and it connected fine first time even on low power - and on BEST PERFORMANCE I pick up more of my neighbours SSID's than I used to with WM5
I've had most of the problems listed here.
The new LVSW now has this problem also but Vanilla works fine for me, old LVSW's, XDA Live. Upon changing the protocol the router uses I could connect on the first attempt, subsequent attempts would not work.
I have no trouble with the works router.
This seems to be something other than Microsoft, maybe worth asking LVSW what he did differently on his latest.
@ all,
it might sound a bit surprising, but I dont get my new artemis ( i now own one with wifi !, my hero didnt!),
working with the wireless of my belkin n1 router!
everytime i enter the mac adress into the router, wlan stops alltogether! ( do i need to enter the mac adress?)
entering the normal wpa-psk passwords into wm6.1 vanilla or b&b5, the connection constantly changes between available, but not connecting, and unavailable... even when sitting right next to the router!
any ideas?
help highly appreciated!

news:
got it working for now-- changed wlan channel in rpouter to channel11, which is preset in wm6.1!
is that how its done?
Update:
most of the times the router just kills the wlan function all in all once i try to connect with the artemis!
Need to reboot router to get it running again!
Where am i going wrong?
p.s. no, i aint a novice
I've got the same roblem mate. Not got a clue what to do ?
Had the same issue with a Belkin N router yesterday. Solution I dumped it went down to Maplins and got a Netgear. Plugin and I was away.
Had flashed the rom serveral times (Win 5, 6, 6.1 some of the cooked roms) nothing worked was thinking it was a hardware failure.
Dont' appear to matter how you set the belkin nothing works.
Thou oddly my Exec connects with it just fine.

Gee, that would for sure make me one unhappy pal!
Anybody around here has another idea!
Possibly some tips on "Must does" ! for connecting via wifi with artemis! Whats with the mac address-thing?!!!
Greetz
To be honest, I've looked at dozens of sites searching for a solution to this issue. Everything from flashing the ROM (Device and router), enter MAC on the router, set a IP address, changing channels, security settings and nothing appear to work with the Belkin N family.
My experience with Belkin has not been good (Tech support has always been first class).
The first router (Cheap 54g) would run for 2 hours then lockup, requiring a reset of both the router and cable modem). Replaced by Belkin after several days talking to tech support.
The second router (Same 54g unit, different Version number) Ran fine until you moved data about, anything downloading above 150k locked the router. Wired connections could do 300k then lock up. Replaced by Belkin.
The third unit (Upgraded to a 2 stick version for free) DOA. Replaced by Belkin
The forth unit (Same 2 stick version) worked data transfers good but would not allow wifi connections other than WEP 64. Firmware update would then WEP 128. Replaced by Belkin.
The Fifth unit (Same 2 stick version, different version) Wifi worked with all settings. However with wifi on all wired connections ran like a 56k modem. Replaced by Belkin.
The sixth unit (Upgraded to the N) Worked fine. Wired connections fine, wifi was a bit hit or miss, two Toshiba laptops connected fine, the Dell laptop never connected. Belkins own N usb dongle also never connected.
My Orbit never connected to any of the Belkins, the Exec did with some and others not.
This issue is not limited to Belkin, if you look about, other makers routers also appear to have this issue.
The cheap Netgear (£35) works just fine for me. Took 5 minutes to setup. Everything in the house connects. I`m happy after 7 months of Belkin issues.
uiuiui,
what a story!
just so we dont get us wrong here: had my n1 now for about 6months, and its running just fine with all my notebooks! - just since trying to connect with my artemis i am running into probs!
A theory of this mornings trials:
any way of changing the preconfigured broadcast channel 11 within the artemis? --- seems to me the channelchanging is causing the hangups!
will try setting the router to channel 11 and see what happens!
greetz
Ive set channel to 6 in the N router, the Art/Orbit will find it and go though the motions of connecting and make it unavailable (our problem with N routers). The Network setting will show its on ch6 (if you can there before it becomes unavailable). Then goes to ch11.
I think the Art/Orbit just runs in sequence though the channels, if it gets a lock it uses that channel. If not it moves on, I think we just see ch11 because its the last ch available in the scan.
Have just played with the Netgear channels and the Art/Orbit connects with every channel, the Network setting page shows the correct channel that the routers broadcasting.
So it don't appear that the channel is hard coded to the Art/Orbit.
Ok stumbled across this thread a little too late. Our Linksys wrt54g was not able to handle the kind of data we were transferring and moved to a Belkin_N1 router, I have an HTC Wizard but same symptoms, if I try to connect to Belkin I can not connect to anything WIFI before a soft-reset, I get prompted for key fine once and during connection something messes up the wifi radio, I am not sure if its a software or hardware issue but got the same issue with an SMC router, while my D-Link at home is working fine. I wasted so much time flashing ROMs and what not. Thanks for everyone who has put info here, somebody can read here and save the pain of hitting the wall with frustration.
Hi All,
At my office we have a 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point.
Up to now I was not able to connect and I could not figure out why.
The router has MAC filtering enabled but this was all set correctly, I could see my TP2 MAC address in the client list but on my TP2 it kept saying connecting.....
At home and at friends my Wifi works flawlessly.
I did some searching here and stubmled upon this WM6 Wifi fix.
I thought what have I got to loose. Installed the cab, did a soft reset and presto it connected!!!
I installed the cab in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3157442&postcount=5
Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same....
The cabs you refer to are in the Prophet forum.
Are you sure you don't introduce other problems?

Yes I know, and I thought it was a long shot but I tried anyway. After a soft reset it still works and so side effect at all up to now..
Of course it is up to the user to try this and I can't guarantee anything!!!
Note that those cabs also change the phone so that wifi remains on while in standby. Handy if you use skype but a battery killer if you forget about it.
FWIW I got it working with my WPA2-PSK open-wrt based router without any hacks.
