WiFi Issues
I have exactly the same issues and have tried installing both Opera and Netfront to no avail. I can connect to Wifi perfectly can then sync Avantgo, download quick GPS updates and surf a couple of pages, then the DNS seems to fail, have tried with DHCP and fixed IP's. Think the o2 Orbit has some sort of DNS cache fault...As a side issue when the Orbit does connect it runs the Internet very slowly...Both a XDA IIi and XDAs run perfectly on the same wireless!!
Get the devices early and wait for the fixes!!

the same thing on Artemis - device gets IP from WiFi Access point by DHCP, but without DNS. I set DNS manually and Internet is working thought WiFi now.

I had the same problem then installed Wi-Fi Companion, issue resolved. You can download a trial for three days from Pocketgear or Handango.

I changed the wireless mode of the router to only wifi g

has anyone any idea how to get round this yet?
Tried to connect today and all that happens is ie sits there saying 'locating'
I tried Wifi companion..it shows me connected and everything but still can't surf the net.
how can I set DNS manually? might be worth a try
thanks for any help
quick update...Ive just been doig a tracert and ping of my service provider and although the trace and ping come out ok...i.e. still just sits there saying locating...
anyone any ideas?? getting desperate here
Apologies..another quick update....
it's not that I can't connect to the net..it's that there is a default page on IE that tries to connect to pda.o2.co.uk or something..and this page is either not there or something...so, changed the default page and I'm good to go...
apologies again

Mine did the same ... Heres the fix ... It has trouble locating the home page . Type in manually to the address line the url for say GOOGLE and wait for it to connect . Then go to tools options and save current page ( Google) as home page and hey presto ! Sorted

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 , when I use the XDA Orbit with Wifi and Internet Explorer - it HANGS the wi-fi router after about 30 secs 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
I tried the above 'fixes' and it DID get me a BIT further
i.e. I was able to get a connection to google.co.uk for about 30 seconds and do one enquiry - but then it STILL hung the router and the XDA Orbit was stuck saying 'locating'

Take a look here this worked for me.

Sorry did not work for me - after 30-40 seconds of surfing IE hangs on 'locating' and the router hangs and has to be re-set
ANYTHING TO DO WITH 802.11b compatibility ????????
Where can I get Opera browser to try that ?
How many posters have fixed this problem ?

OK
I downloaded the latest trial version of OPERA and tested that
EXACTLY the same result
If I switch on WiFi and connect to the Internet via Opera, I can access the internet for about 30 seconds, then the browser cannot access any more
If I switch of WiFi on the Orbit quickly, then the Router is OK - if I don't, then the Router Hangs and all my computers lose internet access
Has anyone else seen this ??
Has anyone cured this ??
Is is an 802.11b problem ??

I can't open Webpage after I upgraded to Windows Mobile VI Pro

Everything works great. Thanks. However, I have a problem. I can't open webpage. When I connected to my Wireless Lan by WiFi, it says "Locating..." and then "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the coonection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." Please help me to fix it.
On other hands, I still can open webpage when I connected by GPRS.
Windows Mobile VI Pro – Cingular Black Edition 2.0.2

I think that cingular works with a proxy setting. I guess that the proxy maybe unreachable through your LAN, this is what deny you to get web pages.
Try to disable the proxy

thank you. Now it works

wm6 internet problem

Ever since i installed wm6 (black dymond or black 3.1), I can not connect to the internet using wifi.
It show i am connected to my router with good signal, but can not access any web site using IE. I am not connecting thry a proxy.
Can anyone help?

what carrier are you using

Try to disable the proxy and see what happens...long time problem for Cingular/At&t users...

If it's just throught WiFi that you have a problem then go to Settings / Connections / WiFi
Then click on the tab for Network Adaptors and ensure that the drop-down shows ... "My network card connects to: The Internet".
There is another more detailed explanation of this elsewhere in the forums - may need to search to find it.

Multiple proxies...ugh
I'm not sure which proxy you are talking about...but on my WM6, I had to go into the Windows menu -> Programs -> Proxy Manager -> and select Disable Proxy for my Wifi to work. It seems like this program shortcut is independent from "Connections" proxy settings.
Try that and see if it works. It fixed my problem.

I will try the proxy manger.
I do have the connect to "the internet" box checked under Wifi tab.

not linked to black only
After a lot of effort I can now connect to a secure network but have no internet either. With a unsecure network I have no problems with the internet. strange. I have tried a few roms and for me they all share this problem.
I do not have a seperate program for proxy server to disable!!

When I tried the Black Dymond, I downloaded Custals Proxy cabs as I had the same issue. Here it is....

I have black 3 and I have the same problem. When I connect to an unsecure and opened wifi, I am cannot connect with ie. I am getting "page is not found'.
I do not have the proxy manager in programs. I have selected 'internet' for wifi. any solutions?

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

[APP]Wake on Wan V1.3 (01/08/10)

I have created a new Windows Mobile application to wake up hosts in a network or over the Internet. Your networkcard and/or PC must support AMD's Wake-On-Lan (WOL), most networkcards and PC's do support this nowadays.
Features
Use Win32 Sense SDK.
Sources files available!
Stores hostname, MAC address and port number using registry.
Wakes up a host in a local area network (LAN) or in a remote area network (WAN)
Support for all screen resolutions
Requirements
A Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone or PocketPC device with access to WAN (wifi/3G/GPRS...)
Computers in your network that support Wake-On-Lan
Change log
V1.3
Uses the latest Manila's SDK V1.3 which improve speed and landscape compatibility
Correct a bug when using WIFI
Add some informations (IP of device & resolved host)

Hi,
anything like it exist already.

Thank you, I hadn't seen this program before... However, there are some differences as the use of the win32 SDK and the availability of sources.
I hope someone will find the sources usefull

I really need this.. and have no idea what to do. unfortunately, i can't forward a port for a broadcast address in my LinkSys WRT160N.
anyone knows how to set this up?

Set up LinkSys
Hi,
Try to setup your router without the broadcast, sometimes it works... For example, if your PC's IP is 192.168.0.10 and your extern LinkSys's IP is 80.32.3.4, try to set up your router like this :
UDP forwarding:
in port: 12345 for example (you can use any number below 65535)
out IP: 192.168.0.10
out port: 9 (or 7 depands of your hardware)
Then in my app, the host IP will be 80.32.3.4 and the port 12345...
I hope it will be OK...

which app works best?? because there is 2 of these circling around these forums.. and i'm going to use the best one... which is more user friendly? and has the least amount of router input work?? either that... or will the op be so kind and kinda hold my hand and walk me through it via PM?? i will gladly sport your appication

The other application can save the configuration of multiple computers while mine only records one...
Also, mine is not based on dotNET so is slightly faster...

@nir36:
You could also try to use a smaller subnet/range. My router won't allow to forward a port to 192.168.0.255, but I changed the subnet mask to 255.255.255.224 and so the range is from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.30 with 192.168.0.31 being the broadcast address for that range and which I can forward the needed port to.
You can use a subnet calculator if you need more or different IP addresses (do a search for subnet masks on google)
@ProjektFuze:
Least router input work ?? You have to setup your router/computer the same, the program just takes the public IP address, MAC address and port and sends a packet which is the same for both.
I would say WOL everywhere is more complete but this app here is more straightforward if you need it for only one computer...

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, great App and it suits my need perfectly! Almost...
I cant get it to work over GPRS/3G, only on Wifi!
Is that how it should work or do i have wrong settings somewhere, cant find any settings!
Thanks

It should work with 3G... It's probably a router problem !
When using 3g, the IP you set in my app must be a public IP (not 192.168.X.X) and if you have a router, you should tell him to route the packet to your local IP...
If you don't understand (English is not my native language), tell me more about your problem.

Hi!
It is not a router problem, my HD2 cannot even connect to internet in the program, and by an app in android it works perfectly so it is not in my router or computer... Can it by some issue with my rom?
Artemis 31,5
WM 6.5 23576.5.5.0
Manila 2.5.20183025.0
Radio 2.10.50.26
/Andreas

Strange...
When you are allready connected to internet, is the button enabled ?
I have a friend which have an HD2, I will try with his device and post here tomorow... Maybe another application prevents the connection...

I've tested my app on the HD2, and no problems...
My app should show your IP when connection is found. Try to:
-unconnect from 3G and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to connect using 3G. Is this step OK?
-Connect your phone and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to find your IP. Is this step OK?

No, neither works! It only say "Cant connect to internet"! It´s only on Wifi it connects... :-S

Ok, I will try to change the connection process and update it...

To understand the problem, what is the real message printed ?
Can't establish connection to web...
Can't find web connections...
Can't retrieve available connections...
Can't find your IP address...
An other question: is the app searching for a connection or the message is directly printed?
Thank's

Ok, can you try this version ?
remplace the old .exe with this version in /program files/WakeOnWan/

It´s the first one, Can't establish connection to web.
And i will try out the file you posted...
