Connected ti WiFi router, but IE not connecting to Sites

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 ...

make sure your ieee 802.11b/g compatible wi-fi Ad....is connecting you to "The Internet" and not "Work." Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I verified that, checked it and double checked, but I'm still getting the same error. Are there other settings I need to change or look at?

Check these as well...

1. Click on your wirless SSID which should say connected.
2. Make sure it says connected to the internet.
3. Select the "This is a hidden network."
4. Make sure all of your keys/passwords are correct.
start>settings>connections>wireless LAN:
1. Make sure it is connected with good strength.
2. Verify It gave you an ip on the Advanced Tab.
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.

Adhoc Wifi internet sharing, HELP

I've been looking endlessly to find out how to share my internet connection with my mobile device over an adhoc wifi connection. I know most will say get router as they are very cheap but there must be a way to do this without a router.
I have enabled ICS on my internet connection in vista but the IP's that are assigned to both the pc and mobile connection when the devices are connected are temporary in the range of 169.x.x.x
The bright side of things is that I can share files seamlessly between the pc and the mobile device, which means all is good except for the internet. There must be a way to bind the device's ip to enable it to share the internet of the PC.
I have searched and searched and I have found nothing. Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, in other words HEEELLLPPP

You need to bridge the Wi-Fi and internet connection. You do this in Control Panel, Network & Sharing Center then 'Manage Network Connections' on the left hand side.
A new page will open showing your internet connection and your wireless connection. Hold down shift and left click on each of them. Next right click on one of the icons and select 'Bridge Connections'

Thanks MaskedMarauder, sadly though my broadband internet connection is through a dialup and hence I cannot bridge the dialup and the wireless connection. If that only can be done somehow, the problem would most definitely be solved.
Thanks for your help.

the way ya doin it with ICS will work. you need to goto properties/advanced...Internet connection sharing and hit the settings button..then tick the DHCP boxes, that will broadcast the IP so ya winmobile will get a DHCP IP address. thats for XP but it should be pretty similiar. I was having heaps of probs getting ics to work adhoc...
you may need to re setup ICS thou, because it wont work unless it uses the IP given when ya first set it up, eg. you cant have manually setup IP addresses in the wifi card.

Thanks Speedn, it looks like you've been through what I'm going through now. Unfortunately again on vista there's no way to adjust the DHCP for ics. I remember having similiar problems on xp but I've resorted to setting the ip's manually and all worked fine, downside was that I had to manually undo everything to connect to a regular access point. On vista that doesn't work though.
Vista is certainly doing something weird here with assigning the ip's.
Thanks anyway for your input.

hermes(m3100) wifi problem - help please

i have a orange m3100 version of the hermes.
recently i flashed it with schaps 3.54b rom
now i can't use my wifi router/network @ home nor another wifi router/network @ work.
in fact i'm well connected, i'm sure of this because from another computer of the networks, i can ping the (static) ip of my hermes. i tried changing and changing again my ip and tested it.
but the hermes cant go on internet.
i use the right gateway and DNS in each case but no surf in pocket ie.
any solutions or other tests i can do?
in french if possible since i and my rom are in french.
thank you.

update : i made some tests :
it is nos a dns problem : i put the right gateway and dns on the smartphone but i cant get a website by typing its ip in pocket ie adress bar (other browsers dont work better) and i cant even access my router admin interface.
when i'm trying wifi with static ip or dhcp on my m3100, i can ping its ip from another computer of my networks and the smartphone responds ok, and i can see its mac adress in the connected clients on my router config screen. But the smartphone can't ping anyone.
i asked a friend who told me that the proxy (192.168.10.100 :8080 ) used for the connection to orangeworld in gprs/edge is also used when i try to connect via wifi and that is why it cant connect nowhere because my personal network is configured differently and without a proxy.
if i delete the proxy my connections will cost me more when i use gprs.
if i configure my router like this (192.168.10.xxx) with a proxy on 8080 it could work but only on my network and not @ my workplace or somewhere else where network params will be different.
any ideas or solutions ?

wow ! so many people trying to help :/
well i found a temporary solution to my problem, probably not the best one but the best i can do by myself so if someone wants to help : thank you
it was actually a proxy problem.
i looked in the registry and found a key where the proxy adress was detailed : 192.168.10.100:8080
i have exported this value as "proxon.reg"
then i modified the value by deleting its content and i exported the empty value as "proxoff.reg"
now i have my "proxy switch".
before activating the wifi and starting ie, i lauch "proxoff.reg" which clean the registry for the proxy data and magic : ie connects fine.
and when i want tu surf via my provider orange, i desactivate the wifi and launch "proxon.reg" which restore the correct proxy data to the registry. and i can surf on gprs/edge.
all this is fine when i switch off the phone functions in the comm manager.
but now i need someone to tell me how i can automatize this for the wifi and edge connections because if the wifi signal gets too weak, i dont want my phone to switch to the gsm when the proxy is desactivated.
i hope you can understand my english.
please help.

In the last version of BatteryStatus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751) you can find,among the others stuffs, the "Disable Proxy for WiFi" option (see the Tools tab)... Maybe more simple than "regg-in" on and off? I'm ok with it, try and see if it's ok for you also...
Bye!

hey kamaal i just downloaded the batterstatus program but im not seeing the "Disable Proxy for WiFi" option in the Tools tab
***edit:
sorry i downloaded the extended version beta and it was there

How do I force ie to use wifi

Ok, after a lot of had work I now appear to have access to one of my routers (Netgear WNR834B)...
But I can't get Internet explorer to access the internet via the wifi connection... My XDA keeps trying to access the GPRS connection.
I've ready several other threads but nothing seems to fit my problem. Any ideas? From what I can read I have to set up a connection to the wifi but I can't find wifi listed in the connections window...
Can someone give me a few pointers...
Thanks in advance

Well i had the same problem with my settings....
When i have configured my mms settings mannually... the IE wants to connect to gprs always but
I go to settings... conection advanced tab and change the firs to my worknetwork cause says thta all the pribate programs wants to conect with my GPRS settings... just let it no choose to take mms settings... it seems to be the answer to me and everything works again for me... oups i miss something you need to use once your gprs then make this change please.

Hmmm
I think I see where your going... but I can't see how this would help... But I'll try hand on...
No that didn't work for me... I tried to change the connection to use the MMS but all it tries to do is use the GPRS again. I can't seem to change it even after it connects via MMS.
Found out another bit of the puzzle tonight. I have to set an IP inside the BA or else I get no conections to the internet via the active sync cradle. (set to 192.168.1.22 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1)
But even thought the wireless LAN manager says I'm connected (and I get the correct MAC address for the router) if unplug the BA from the cradle the router reports I'm not connected... Its almost as thought theres a stealth firewall running on the PDA...
Any idea?

Mmm lets work on it...
i will upload a video of this issue to show you how it works... i dont have any idea of make it works by entering a diferent ip.

Using my TP2 as a Router

Hi guys,
as said, i try to use my TP2 as a router, via my T-mo connection. I have an unlimited dataplan, and flashed the EngeryROM from Warhawk i guess.
Here is my Problem:
I can't access certain sites while using my TP as a router, and what annoys me the most is, that i cant run icq or steam on my laptop, using the TP...
Altough, icq runs on my TP.
Is this a port problem, or is it because T-mo blocks it?
Or any other idea?
Any help would be appreciated

I can't imagine that they'd block it. I'm not entirely up to speed on using the phone as a router, is it possible that the ports are blocked? Does the phone have an interface you can connect to similar to that of a traditional router? (IE tether your phone to your computer, once connected run an ipconfig and then type the address of the default gateway into your browser and see if there's an interface?) I might be way off base with that, though.
As an aside - I'm not sure what T-mobile's deal is with "unlimited" data plans. If it's anything like AT&T then once you cross that 5GB line you'll probably be on watch (from what I've gathered online), so you might want to look into that if it is your intention to pull a lot of data downstream from the likes of steam.

not familiar with t-mobile's data connection/setup but maybe its a proxy issue? try disabling the proxy if there is one and see if that helps.

I am using Energy Rom on my Tilt2 but I am on ATT
I had exactly the same issue.
Basically I had to disable proxy (which is a trick to get it to stick)
and switch to a different APN
I know it may not help but the default AT&T apn is wap.cingular
I use isp.cingular which supports direct connection without a proxy.
I am not sure how TMO does it's connections, but this may point you in the correct direction.

I guess its the proxy, cause i definitely know, that it's not volume limited.
Can anyone link me a tutorial or describe me how i can change that proxy or whatever, cause i'm really a noob when it comes to this...
The TP2 is my first WinMo device, so i ain't that experienced yet...

If you start WiFi Router, is there a choice for the internet connection in the lower area? I remember that I had several preconfiguratet connections on my MDA V when I got it from T-mobile. Maybe you can choose another connection there and it works. Did EnergyROM automatically set up your connections after flashing? Maybe you try these settings:
Name (Profilname): T-Mobile Internet
APN (Zugangspunkt): internet.t-d1.de
Benutzername: internet
Password: t-d1
DNS-Adresse: 193.254.160.001
IP- / Proxy- / Gateway-Port: 9201
Verbindungssicherheit: aus
GPRS-Ablaufzeit 2 Minuten

hey, tried out your settings, they seem to work, but i still cant connect with steam and icq -.-
i can only select the t-mobile internet connection in the wifi-router.
aaaaand i cant find the field where to enter this gateway port stuff you wrote.

Hope this links hel you:

Nope, still not working. These tuts just show how to establish a connection, but i already got one. The problem is, that i can only access the internet via browser
No steam, icq, skype or else, which is pretty annoying, cause i don't want to pay an extra 25 euros for a surf stick by tmo...
