WIFI - O2 Orbit problems

Hi,
I can conect to my home wi-fi ok and it gets an ip address. i can ping an address but after 30 seconds or so it stops working. it still thinks its connected but cant ping or navigate to any websites
any help greatly apreciated

Hi
I also have a similar problem
I have a 802.11b broadband router (linksys) which works fine with my two wifi PC's and my Wifi XDA Exec to access the Internet and collect e-mail
I just got an XDA Orbit and although it "sees" and connects to the Broadband router it will NOT allow access to the internet or e-mail (apart from one very short half page of ntlworld.com home page on one occasion)
WORST than that - it HANGS the wi-fi router and I have to reset it before I can access the Internet from any other PC's !!
What am I doing WRONG ???
Any suggestions welcomed

just noticed there is another post about this problem

Take a look Here. This worked for me

I originally had trouble connecting to the internet. I connected to my router and added a device registering my Orbit MAC address and the other info required and bingo works a treat. I checked the other link from jamin100, personally didnt have to do this!!

SOLUTION!
Hi @ll..
i had the same Problem..
I connect per WLAN to my accesspoint, then i can open Websites with any Browser.. but after about 30seconds it seems, that the connection is down.
Here i have a solution, that works great at my XDA Orbit
Goto Settings->Connections
Change the Power-Settings of WLAN to Power optimized--> MAX
then the Problem should be solved ;-)

GREAT
This fixed it
Why ???
I should not need extra power - I am 3 feet from the WiFi router ??
XDA Orbit now get hot after 20 mins use onWiFi !!

Hi,
I Am Able To Connect And Browse The Internet At Home Perfectly well However When I Am at University I Try To Connect To The Wifi. It Will Connect but After A Bit It Will Not Load Up Any Pages although It Still Shows I Am Connected! Furthermore my Mate who Has A Mini S And P990i Is Able To Connect And Browse Perfectly.
Another Thing Is That When I Try To Search For Networks It Will Not Show Anything But When I Restart The Orbit It Will Show The Available Wifi!
Finaly I Cant Stop That "Message Sent" Notification, I Have Tried To Do All The Tweaks But Nothing Works
Any Help Will Be Much Appreciated

@eddieorz:
it´s the same at my orbit. it get very hot after some time "online" ;-)
i hope, this will be fixed at the new Update in summer 2007 (WM6)

I know I know, me digging in some old threads.....
Somebody has the solution already???
Thanks again.

dash internet question

hey guys, one of my friends has a sprint phone with the internet plan, and he says that he can connect his phone to his laptop with a cable and then he can access the net from his laptop using his phone. anybody know how to do this with the dash?? thanks
omar

it's in your start menu in one of the folders...I renamed the folder Utilities and don't remember the real name...the program is called Internet Sharing. run that after you establish an activesync connection and you will be on the internet.

hey, thanks a lot, it works awesome.. its definately faster than dial up, but not quite as fast as dsl... but for being on the net on the highway, its awesome!

Turn any windows mobile into WIFI router

This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.

This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.

Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you

How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it

the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times

is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5

infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

???
the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.

How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.

try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.

I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!

This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...

how do i load it in my phone

thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept

Closing as this is a duplicate thread for this one:

PC Internet Pass Through

Sorry, I really have searched everything I can think of. I have looked all over, I am just trying to find out what the regedit is to use the internet connection on my computer via usb on my t-mobile dash. I am running WM6.1 and have no signal over here for my phone. internet on the computer yes, but dash no. Does anyone know or know where I can look for it? I promise I have searched.

hook a wifi router up =)
other than that maybe put a bluetooth receiver on the pc and connect the phone to it?

I'm useing kavanas 6.1 rom i tweaked it a little but point being when i plug my dash into my comp and it syncs with active sync my phone accesses my computers internet connection which i think its designed to do. how do your internet and active sync settings look like?
under your USB to PC settings under connections do you have the Enable advanced network functionality checked?

Use ActiveSync to "pass through" this computer. That means the connected device can use the computer's network connection as if it were its own. You can use this feature to perform tasks such as downloading non-Outlook e-mail messages, to connect directly with Microsoft Exchange, or to browse the Internet.
Important Note For additional security, disable network bridging on the PC (specifically, bridging to a Remote NDIS adapter) before connecting to the PC to pass though to the Internet or a network. For more information on network bridging, see Windows Help on the PC.
Click Connection Settings.
Select Open ActiveSync when my device connects.
In the This computer is connected to list, select a connection to which this computer should connected when passing through ActiveSync.
thats from activesyncs help.
i guess i never realized it did that...yet i do it everyday...when its plugged in, edge doesnt even try to connect, it defaults to the pc

Thanks
Ok Gixxum,
You rock, I changed my deal to internet instead of automatic and it worked perfectly. I never thought to look there. Thanks. Now my roomate and I can surf the net at the same time.

Skype via Active Sync not working!?

Why skype doesn't work via active sync? It says that it's impossible to connect and check my network connection... But Opera and youtube work well!
Can you help me please?
Thanx!

The first time you use Skype, it needs to be connected via Wifi or a mobile internet connection. After the initial setup, you can use Skype via active sync.

Thank you very much for your answer! I'll try it asap!

Good luck, let me know if it works!

It worked well via wifi, but is impossible to connect via active sync!
Now is a bit better cause I can at least access to the skype interface but my status is always gray cause I'm not connected...
It is the last version of both skype and active sync...
I' ve found this from on http://support.skype.com:
Does Skype for Windows® phones work with ActiveSync connection?
Yes, using Skype for Windows® phones with ActiveSync does work. Sometimes however you cannot connect to Skype with first or second try.
We recommend using ActiveSync connection only for chatting.
Anyway it doesn't connect afeter many tries...

I had the same problem a while back. I'm not sure what has fixed it, perhaps I have flashed some ROMs in the meantime...
On a skype forum, I recall people were guessing whether it had to do with the Active Sync 4.5 setting 'This computer is connected to' (work/internet). I don't think it helps, but it's worth a shot.

I have the same problem. The skype does not work when connected through acivesync. It works with wifi. Is there a solution to this problem.....?
