does NE1 have the answer to wifi not connecting to the net

im trying to get an internet connection through my wifi connection. i have done search's and lots of people seem to be asking the same question but nobody has the answer.
at the moment i can access my c: using an application called Resco explorer. but i can not connect to the internet. im not sure what setting i should have on the wifi manger and on my pc. im also using AOL as my isp.
PLS PLS help :lol:
Edit:
also i can not connect to activesync (version 3.8.0) via wifi. maybe if i was able to connect to this the internet would work as it does when its docked??????

looks like a no then

I got mine working but setting my wireless network adapter to connect to "Work".
Under Settings>Connections>Tasks>Manage existing connections>Proxy Settings> check the "This network connects to the internet" box
then
Under Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network" (and the same with one for private network)
Also in your active sync settings, make sure your connection settings allow network (Ethernet) and RAS connections.
From previous research around this, i'm pretty sure you can only use the internet pass through under "WORK" settings only.
*thought i'd better register and contribute as i've gained a fair bit from this forum.

no good anyother ideas. i have searched through hundreds of threads and still no go
help pls

Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings.

i have done this on both my wifi network and my isp network.
still not working

Have you checked if you're getting an IP address from your Wireless Router's DHCP server? Also DNS settings and Gateway address should be there.
You can check this easily by using vxUtil (free )

these are my settings:
tiacxwln1 - tiacxwln compatible wireless
Ip address 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1
primary DNS 192.168.0.1
secondary dns
primary wins
seconfdary wins
DHCPs server 192.168.0.1
under serial usb
IP address 192.168.55.101
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.55.100
primary DNS 127.0.0.1

Getting this error when I tried to allow my broadband connection to share with my wifi connection. If I unplug the wifi connection and try and share with another network I don’t get any errors.
Internet connection sharing (ics) cannot be enabled due to IP address conflict on the network. ICS requires the host be configured to use 192.168.0.1 please ensure that no other client on the network is configured to use 192.168.0.1

hmmm ... ever had the same problem. all devices are able to connect to the same router except mine sx66.
then i change the router's channel to '1' .. tada .. now everyone is connected. it might sounds silly, but it worked for me.
try changing your ap wireless channel.

i found the problem with activesync 3.8 and 4.0 somehow, so i reverted back to 3.7, now wifi can sync.
afaik, connecting to internet has nothing to do with activesync. its a direct connection to wifi router. use work location and check the proxy settings if u hv any? (at home i use connect to internet without proxy, at work i use connect to internet with proxy).
Also, for Activsync with wifi, make sure that the WINS server address is that of yr PC u want to sync with.

Sounds like a DHCP problem.
Have a look at your IP and the DNS (and maybe even the gateway) of your PDA and see if it's set correct.
Now do the same with a working system with a internet connection.
In windows, Klik on start and select "Run"
Now type: cmd and klik on OK,
Now type: ipconfig /all
You should see the used IP, Subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers.
All should be the same on your PDA EXCEPT the last part of your IP!

I am having a similar problem.
When I got the set, I set up WEP encryption on it. It didnt work. The connection was live but no browsing.
I then found out I had an incorrect WEP key on the set. I changed it and then it started working.
Now, with the correct wep key and all, its not working for me either.
What can be wrong?

fluke maybe?
well guys it could be a fluke
but this is what i have done and this is what worked for me
1. I completely reset the blue angel (reset switch and off button together)
2. THat reestablished the wifi connection
3. I went to the home page of my router set up and after perusing it a while i went to wireless security and turned it off
4. restarted wifi connection on the bluey and wham bam..straight online
5. I could not remember my wep key so i opted for turning off wireless security although i still have it passowrd protected
Dunno if it will work for others but it has for me and im run ning a buffalo router witht he blue angel
HOme system is broadband

Well I always managed to connect to my access point to get internet to my BA with WEP enc. enabled. But my problem is I can't get the IE works when I try to connect to my other PC that provides WI-FI as well but this time via Activesync :S why :?

ramram,
If you haven't done it yet, download vxUtil & vxIPconfig; they're very useful for diagnosing connectivity issues.

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

internet via USB doesnt work

i cant connect to internet via USB
my computer has wireless internet connection
i connect via Activesync to share internet from PC but it doesnt open internet

guys why cant i connect to internet via Activesync, internet explorer doenst open any site
please help, what settings are necessary at connections?

Hi
The connection settings need to be on
Allow USB [ON]
Allow Connections to COM [OFF]
This Connection is connected to: [set this to automatic]
The other settings you can choose what you want them on as they do not affect the way the PC sees your phone.
IF this does not work i would try a reinstall of active sync or deleting the device from active sync and re-adding it.
Cheers Dave

it says cant get IP address automatically..

OK
When you connect your phone it gets assigned onto it's own network port so it could be the settings on this.
Connect up you phone. Once this has been done on you PC goto Start>Control Panel>Network Settings.
From here you will be able to see the phone. It will be under Lan or High speed internet and then the Local Area connection with "windows mobile device" under it as well
From here right click on it and goto Properties. Click on the Internet Protocol TCP/IP and the click on properties when this lights up beneath it.
Make sure that it is all set to Obtain Automatic for IP, DNS and Private IP
This should cure the fault. Let me know
Cheers Dave

thanks again
i guess, i tried it before.. there was 255.255.255.0 as DNS and IP blank..
i changed it "Automatic".. but the same.. doesnt work

Ok
Only one last thing i have found that it may be.
If you go on your phone Start>Settings>Connections>Network Cards
Check that they are all set to Automatic. The one that really counts is the Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that this is set to automatic and there is nothing in the Name Servers Tab.
Also what Browser are you using on the Phone. Try using IE.
Cheers Dave

I tried all mentioned in this thread, but still my internet is not working. It shows error code 0x80072f78.
