Hey guys, I just recently got my Softbank and upgraded to WM6 this morning. All is good except for my WiFi. The phone is able to connect to my router but when I try to go to sites with IE it gives me this error:
"THe page cannot be displayed or downloaded because connection was lost. Check the connection and try again"
Sites show up fine with EDGE, but IE does not show sites via WiFi. Router even shwos the phone connected to it and that an IP is assigned.
Excuse my ignorance, I am new and any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
Try this ...

3. Turn the Power Mode all the way up to Best Performance.
In your router verify you are not blocking or mac address filtering this connection. You might want to reserve the IP address for you device MAC.

I tried the settings and still no go. I'm using a Linksys router and I have it set up to where the router assigns the phone a specific IP. According to the router, the phone is connected and according to the phone, the phone is connected. Should the GPRS(EDGE) be active and connected at the same time? Cause it is, how do I manually disable it? I feel really stupid if this is why.
prodigalfish: Is that cab only for use with cingular network? I'm on tmobile network, so I'm not sure if I could use that cab. I will do a hard reset though, haven't tried that yet.
Yes It does matter....

TURN IT OFF!!!
Inside of activesync you must tell it allow wireless / data connection. If you press and hold the hangup red button the GRPS connection will drop. You can also turn it off in the comm manager.
Did you ever solve this problem as I am having exactly the same the one.
1. Wifi works fine, can transfer files over the network, Skype connects etc
2. Only PIE (PIEPlus) does not connect to web pages.
I have done everything mentioned here. Hmm

My guess is that the version of PIE you are using (or PIEPlus) has a hard-coded proxy address that your device cannot reach. I use Opera myself, works much better than PIE (IMHO).

Have you tried changing the authentication to Shared instead of Open?
This worked for me.
I have the same problem with these newest roms, just after set up 3G connection(Softbank by using ConnSBM).
It worked fine with roms before 5/15th.

make sure the connection is active before attempting to connect... so kick up internet explorer or something that initiates the connection...
I have a connection, I can see it go active then I get an error.
I tried as you suggested, the error just comes up immediatly.
ERROR:
Cannot Connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specific Computer name does not exist
2. A network error occurred while establishing the connection.
Works fine when using WiFi or when connected to PC via USB...wont connect while on 3G

mmm...i think i know your problem...
Click Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks... now what connection is specified in the 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using'
that should be your 'GPRS Connection' you are using to connect to your IP WAN
thanks, I had that set wrong...but still cant connect.
my 3G is setup as ISP (Cingular)...I called it "ISP"
The advanced setting had a preset called "My ISP", so I re-setup my connection and called it "My ISP" and selected it in "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:"
still wont connect.

did you use Custel's cabs to install the Cingular Settings??
no, those always caused problems as I am using ISP not MediaNet.
btw- should have mentioned I am now using Black IV Shadow and Radio 1.43.00
Possible reason: your networkprovider has blocked the port used by remote desktop.
We had to change the gprs connection point/address when we wanted to use vpn to connect to our corporate network.
Try to get hold of at telnet application for your device and connect to port 3389 on you remote desktop server.

I had the same problem till I created two VPN connections. One for internal use (WiFi) and one for extenal use (3G).
The internal one uses the internal IP address of the VPN server and the external one uses the external IP address.
You have to sleect which connection you want to use before starting the connection depending on whether u r using WiFi or 3G.
Hope that makes sense. It works 4 me.
GOT IT!!! Thanks

esseff, pardon my noobness but when you speak of "VPN server" is that referring to the desktop I am trying to remote connect to?
I have an ATT 8525 w/Black Satin Normal WM6 on the ATT network using MediaNet as my GPRS.
I can remote in from almost any open network via my laptop. Could it be that ATT blocks 3389? If so can I alter the port RDM uses to setup a connection?
are you able to remote connect PC to PC? (from outside of your current LAN)
if not ... its not your phone its your firewall... try disabling your firewall w/in your pc os and router.
would explain why you can connect using wifi if its part of your router and its set up as a "home network".
I'd bet if you googled this you'd find EVERYTHING you need to know.
Yes, I can connect just fine PC to PC outside the LAN. I have my custom listen port opened as required. The issue is definitely with the 8525 connection settings or the ATT service. I have trolled google pretty extensively, but have been unsuccessful in finding some quality info.
My wifi will not connect!

Have you reset your router power off 30sec and on? It may be your ISP, might not be your phone....
I may just be being silly because you say anywhere?
If your connection is password protected, make sure your phone is on the access list of your routers settings [192.168.0.1].
Check if you have the WiFiinit file in the /Windows/Startup folder
That was the problem with my dash, but i fixed it
hmm. ill try doing those.
ill let you know guys.

hmmm. So i got the Wifi to finally connect, but now none of my browsers work.
Neither Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, or PIE will work.

How do i grant access to my htc on a linksys router ?
My HTC IP is 192.168.0.1 ?
192.168.0.1 is the URL for your router settings on your computer. Type it on your computer in the address bar of IE. Once you login, it's pretty straight forward.

On the Dash you can go Resco File Explorer Windows\StartUp or you can view via on Comp via Active Sync or Mobile device center "depending on os" Just make sure in folder options you have show hidden files Tools\Folder Options\View\Show hidden files and folders.
Well i deleted my WiFi inti file some time ago, what can i do to get it back?
You can nick a copy of mine
Same problem, though have wifiinit in my startup folder
Hello,
I have WIFI init in my startup folder, however, the WIFI does not start. It tries for three seconds then stops again. It was working with the original ROM, but when flahed to Kavana, it stopped working. Any help?
When I checked the WLAN settings, I found that the drivers are not loaded.
this could help you...
I got the htc wifi router working and surfed for a few minutes. I logged out of my PC and back in and the internet wouldnt work on my PC or my phone. I rebooted my phone and still the same problem. Has anyone else run across this problem? How do I fix it/troubleshoot it? 3G is showing it is connected
Has anyone else had this problem? I had to finally do a hard reset/wipe to get things working again.
There's another similar report here, maybe in the cdma area.
I'm not clear on your issue. Is this wmwifi not working after a reboot or Activesync not recognizing after the reboot?
And are you using the latest wmwifi?
edit: I'm adding that I downloaded the latest wmwifirouter last friday 18sep09, and I thought it was a vpn/wifi issue on my laptop. My TP2 did not recognize under activesync after I did a few things, but WM did work the one time I tested it.
I am not using wmwifi. I am using HTC CM Internet Sharing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499#post4170499
I figured it was put out by HTC (and free) so it should work right?
It created the wifi access point fine, and I was able to surf with my laptop at good speeds. I left and came back and the internet would no longer connect (laptop or phone).
I tried everything from soft rebooting, to removing the application, to calling *228 (reset the phone), and even manually setting up the verizon data settings. Nothing worked. I just could not establish a data connection.
Finally I gave up and did a hard reboot and restore and it finally worked.
I really need a reliable way of setting up a wifi access point but dont want to risk this fiasco again.
Yeah, I mis-read your first post, sorry!
For me it was as simple as starting the wifi router program and then cleanly stopping it. If forced to quit, you will have no network access. It's happened a couple times for me.

Hi there, I had used htc wifi router a while back and hadnt tried connecting the phone to the local wifi network since. After reading your post, I thought I'd check and yes I was getting the same problem, i.e. it wouldn't connect to my home wifi network.
I found the fix to be as follows:
1) Go into comms manager, turn WiFi on
2) Under settings go to wireless LAN
3) In the main tab you will that the SSID is set to "Mobile router", select change network button underneath.
4) Now you should see the SSID of your network, dont select anything, just press o.k at the top and hey presto it will connect.
Let us know if this worked.

Enable DHCP
Hi all
Sometimes after using this software you need to renable DHCP in the connections settings. This can be done via:
Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi>Wireless Networks>Network Adaptors>NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Adaptor and then select Use server-assigned IP address.

hi i installed e htc wifirouter but it is using my mms setting instead of my phone internet setting. any1 can help?
Hy. I bought my defy one week ago and I have noticed some inconsistencies with the WiFi function. I got it tot work on a public network in a restaurant on the first try. At home however everything seems so random : I got it to connect to WiFi 5-6 times eventhough I don't have a router but most of the times I get the : "connection detected" notification but no internet access ( when i select the network in the wifi settings it says the signal is excellent ).
My modem is a Huawei EchoLife HG520s, I am running windows 7 x32, my phone was not rooted and i didn't make a blur account.. that doesn't work either.
I would really appreciate your help.

You are getting wifi signal at home but do not have a router? You mean a wifi router? If that's the case maybe you are picking up wifi signals from someone else's router and you cannot connect because you need to sign on? If you are having trouble getting on your own router, could you tell us what it is etc.?
You didn't set up a Blur account? Or you did and it doesn't work? Where are you located? If you tried to set it up and couldn't it may be because some markets (I hear) do not support Blur. For instance, there are some models of Defy that do not have Blur and that's probably why.
Sorry i should have made it clearer: i have not bought any kind of router but the modem i use could have a wifi router incorporate(i don't know if it does i lost its documentation).
I live in a house with no nearby sources of wifi and both networks (the one i use to connect to the internet from my pc and the wifi i find if i scan wth my phone have the same name)
I live in Romania and everytime i try to set up a Blur account and click the start button it cancels.

Is there any way you can temporarily disable your modem's wifi security just so you can get on to see if that works? Make sure to turn it back on after, this is just to see if that's the cause of the trouble.
Also about setting up a Blur account - did you try that at home, or at an open Wifi area (eg. the restaurant)? If it doesn't work at home then I guess it's worth trying it at the restaurant or any other place where you can get the connection to work.
Well the network i get here at home is 'open' and i get a connection everytime.. just no internet access on my phone and the computer doesn't seem to recognise the connection (happen exactly he same even on the times i had internet access)

exactly what happened to me. is not a router's problem but a DNSes problem.
you must enter the router and disable the "automatic DHCP". enter in the settings of the phone, wifi, advanced DNS settings automatically if not found. and it work.
P.S. after this if you have problems with your computer, right click the connection, and then do "problem solving". good luck ...

the only problem is that I can't seem to find a router in my devices.. i have a internet modem that might have a wi-fi router incorporated
How does the computer connect to the modem if it uses USB i'm not too sure what you can do but if it uses ethernet what I recommend you do is click on start, and type in "cmd" when this loads type "ipconfig /all" this will then bring up all the details of your connection. What you are looking for is the default gateway, this will be the address of your router. With this add "http" and the default gateway number into a browser,you should then be able to get into the routers config and then you can follows powertony84's guide.
Well i'm pretty sure the network I connect to with my phone is mine because i just changed its security level to WEP using bobdigby advice. But I got lost afterward.

Any idea what channel i should use? i got a tip to chage the channel but i don't know into which one
I don't use any router but I turn my laptop, which supports wifi, into a wifi hotspot so that my defy can use wifi within my apartment. It's wonderful!
So basically I can't connect to wifi and I have tried EVERYTHING from static routes to different networks and routers, different roms, complete factory rom/firmware resets. I just can't connect to wifi, nothing else is wrong, and I think it may have to do with the fact that in my "Advanced WiFi" setting its shows my phone Ip address as unavailable.
Any help, please?!
Is there a way to manually assign a phone Ip address, in the terminal or in some coding somewhere? Because I feel like that's the problem... And no I don't just mean using static connections, that doesnt work
Bumpp
Possible solution.
On your pc go to cmd and go to ipconfig /flush dns. I don't remember precise command but something like this. It'll reset all your addresses assigned to your other devices. On your phone do forget network. Then try to reconnect. Your ip will be assigned automatically.
If it doesn't work check in your router what wireless protocol you have. You know b,c,g,ac,n. Try to set to n only.
Another thing there's possibility your router is set to accept connections only from known devices in which case you'll have to add the phone automatically.
No one has ANY ideas. In this whole forum?
I have an idea...There is an update to Lollipop just released that fixes the wifi problem. At least for Verizon...release last few days.
