Since few days my dataconnection gets lost, when I try to use it. For example when I start Messenger and try to login, TP2 connects then it says Dataconnection is not available check your connection settings. After several attempts it connects stays stable for one or two minutes then again connection breaks down. I also tryed to reset the data connection via connection-wizard, nothing helps. I think something in the registry is messed up...
I don't want to do a hardreset and install all the programs again. Does someone have a good advice for me?
My Rhodium is the same situation. I am a Japanese, and mopera of Docomo is used.
[Understand now]
Cellular Line IP address & Default Gateway is same.
Primary DNS & Secondary DNS is active. I receive PING.
I can't receive PING form other site (mail server etc).
I did hardreset. But my Rhodium is not connect to Internet.
It investigates for a while. If you have good idea, then advice to me.
Same here with MTS Serbia.
I check data connection settings and all adjustment are same like automatic configuration setup but i cant get back data connections.
Hello every one.
I have understood the cause of this problem.
Perhaps, every one set WiFi's DNS server at manual.
If it's possible, set DHCP. Then DNS server is active and you can get e-mail and you can access to Internet.
I think this problem is WM network access process.
I will not use DHCP. I research other process for GPRS.
Thanks msaf, your advice resolve my problem!
I set WiFi's DNS server at manual and when i set on default i got gprs connection again
Hi,
This is an unusual problem as the wireless network card shouldn't have anything to do with GPRS!! Anyway, it seems having automatic DNS for wifi does solve the problem of GPRS but my Wifi connection will not work unless I specify the DNS manually. Therefore, it is a hassle to change between these 2 options whenever I need to change between WIFI and GPRS.
Any way to fix this once and for all??

I've got an SX66
ROM VER: 1.33.10 WWE
ROM DATE: 1/21/05
RADIO VER: 1.02.10
I setup wireless manager to work on my home network. At the heart is a linksys BEFW11s4 wireless router with WEP enabled (64 bit).
It asked for the security password which I entered but it kept telling me was wrong. Finally it stopped asking me and the wireless manager show that I am connected to the network. It shows the correct SSID, channel etc.
However I still cannot access the internet or anything else on my network. It seems that I am not really connected.
What the H$!! am I doing wrong??
Please help.
Did the router give you an IP address?
I.e. Is the router DHCP enabled?
Happygoat
Yes it does give me an IP address (SX66 set to auto assign)
In reading over your post I started checking my settings and realized the problem.
I have to manually enter the key.
Once I did that...boom I am online.
Thank you for your help.

Hi I have had some problems with wifi hope you can help. I couldn’t find anything on this forum about it (maybe I didn’t search well but don’t think so) Listen, I managed to find some hotspots, I used a lot of programmes, like Streethawk, or WIFIFORM(or something like that), and many more, but all I could get was windows popping up to select connect using that and that to internet or work. I tried work, but that is it every time I got the message I couldn’t give you IP or something. like that. My Ip settings is give IP automatically. Am I doing everything ok, or is this problem network issue because I was trying to connect on public hotspot(which might be not accepting connections). And how do I know if the hotspot is accepting connections free of charge? Hope you can give me detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance
ilijamn: I use a programme called "WIFIFOFUM" and when in the programme on the left side of the window is a column called "WEP" which will either say "on" or "off" for a certain connection.. now when it says "on" you cannot use it without a network key(basically a password) but when its "off" you should be able to use without a problem...To connect to a connection while in WIFIFOFUM jus tap and hold the connection and select connect...
now also when that window pops up, its better to sellect connect via "internet" rather than "work"....
I hope this helps you...
@tradivise
Thank you it helped me a lot! But sometimes in WiForum it takes a lot of time to connect, and I tryed a lot of programmes and then I downloaded Street HAwk, It is the best one, at least for me.(the progremme does everything automativly-which is cool). Anyways, i have to ask you smth. else (prob. stupid question), when a network(hot spot) is free of charge do I need to set up IP settings and DNS settings and what is VPN?
Thanks

And is there any pocket web browser for internet that can open multiple widows(tabs)????
Thanks in advance,

ilijamn:
VPN - Virtual Private Network, long explanation so just google search it.
IP and DNS should be setup automatically by the network, but some networks require a network key (WEP) which is like a password and without it you cant use their network...
hope this helps, any more questions jus ask!!!!
not sure about multiple tabs, if i find i will let u know
That should do it. Thank you
Hi,
I'm experiencing a weird problem and please let me know if it's only my problem or there is some work around for it.
My phone is SX66 upgraded to 1.40 ROM + 1.13 Radio stack
I can connect Wifi fine whenever I have some phone signal (at work). Whenever I go home where the phone signal is weak then the WIFI couldn't get connected (I believe I set up my home network correctly as I've been using it for so long and configure it for several computer/laptop in house). The network could detect the AP with the SSID but I just couldn't connect to it even I'm sitting right next to the AP.
ROM 1.40
Radio: 1.13

Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
If you're sure you're just not connecting however, things to check are;
WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
Interference - Wireless A/V Senders and digital cordless phones are common culprits for RFI. 802.11x APs support multiple channels (most default to channel 11), and you can change these in case of interference. Once again, if you have other WiFi gear already connected with good, strong signals, you can probably discount this one.
Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you are.
Thanks for your reply.
> Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Yes, I've check wireless status on the phone. "Connected to the network", and the AP with DHCP on showed the status of an IP has been allocate to the SX66 mac address. However I dont' really believe it then I check the "Adater", it said network available, and the WIFI icon just didnot show any traffic.
> Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
I've experience once with the internet connection via Active Sync so I disable the passthrough. Both home and work doesn't have proxy server so I selected not to have any on the phone.
> WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
At work, I have 128 WEP and the connection works fine with the key. At home, I open my network but using MAC filtering to protect it. I have problem with the open network one at home. Perhaps, I will try to setup WEP at home and see if it can work.
The only thing I'm not really clear is the difference between setting "WPA" and "WPA-PSK" from the phone.
> DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
Yes, DHCP enable as I don't want to change it back and forth when traveling.
> MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
I do it and I already opened the network and then captured the MAC address into the AP memory. (that's why I think it's connected but will check).
> Interference -
Not really, I'm 6' away from the AP and I don't have any cordless device in my computer room.
> Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you
are.
No problem, I'd like to learn more about this PDA. The concept is about the same with PC, but the tools to debug is not there. I can't use tracert/traceroute, ifconfig or ping broadcast to really know if I'm the network.
Once again, thanks a lot.
Okay, well it sounds like you're on the right track & know what you're doing.
A useful troubleshooting tool, which gives you tracert, ping, whios, ipconfig and a host of other tools is "vxUtil", which is freeware. I'd give you a URL for downloading it, but I'm on my iMate now (sipping coffee by the Yarra in a Melbourne Cafe - oh what a techno-wanker am I!), but search these forums or Google it and you'll find it.
Now, regarding the proxy thing... These PPCs are a little tricky with their internet settings, and I had to create a different 'connect using...' connection profile, if that makes sense. The important setting within the profile, which is under the Proxy tab, from memory, is "This network connects to the internet".
Now for some reason, if you don't enter in a proxy server here, that check-box doesn't stay checked when you ok your way out. So what I've had to do is go into the advanced area & enter anything in the "wap" proxy, then ok out.
Strange, but it seems to work. Although I always leave my "Private network" on "My Work Network", I can now browse the 'Net through the WiFi AP/Router.
Download vxUtil & see if you can ping your AP, then go from there.
I've worked around the problem by using static IP address instead of depending on DHCP. Thanks to Hitchhiker software. I noticed that it was trying to obtain IP address from DHCP but failed. (The very same DHCP work wells for the rest of my network). Anyway, I will use Hitchhiker to switch IP back and forth if necessary.
Thanks a lot!

Great to hear you found the problem - well done.
Hi!
I haven't seen any application that can do this after some time looking for it, and I think it may well be the case with some of us.... let me explain..
When at home, I can have a WIFI connection to my home ADSL which needs a 'clean configuration'.. ie.. DHCP address and NO PROXY.
But, when at the office, I can also get the address thru DHCP, but I need to configure a proxy to be able to connect to Internet....
Plus, at some of the sites I work in, I need not only a different proxy, but a 'manually' configured address.
Well, the question... Is there any application that can help with the switching of environements, based, for instance, in the SID of the access point available?
I've seen apps such as CommMgrPro that can 'switch' profiles based on the pohone cell-id (which could also be fine to define your location), but you can only 'switch ON and OFF the WIFI (or any other) connection, but in no case can I manage the proxy (BTW this is a difficult setting to handle even manually!)
Thanks

Hi all, have a little problem, am going to see if Toms 4.1 rom has the same issue, and something in the back of my mind tells me that it's there by design.
Basically, i connect to two different types of wireless networks, those are:
Work: I go to different schools, all part of the same WAN, the access points are different, keys etc, but the proxy is always 172.1.0.5:8080
Everywhere else: no proxy, random addressing, the usual stuff.
Every time i enter the work proxy server and leave the connections tab, the proxy settings dissapear, it only seems to be the main proxy settings, as the WAP, Secure WAP and Socks settings keep. As soon as i connect to the work network, goodbye proxy, as soon as i disconnect, the proxy settings return.
I really need that to work the other way around.
Currently using Toms B&B 4.0, as previously stated i'll check to see what happens in 4.1, but i have a sneaky idea that it's there for a reason.
Any workarounds? registry hacks?
Thanks
Kai
Still having trouble with my proxy settings, tried B&B 4.0, 4.1 and Artemis touch WWE.
All have the same problem, Proxy server settings dissapear when and only when i use the Work settings for connection. If i use the 'Internet' setup or simply disconnect from Wifi, the proxy settings re-appear.
If i can't get this to work, i'll have to go back to the official rom, all of the other bells and whistles are just fluff, i need this more than anything else.
Thanks
same deal here. they certificate secured services with my problem. connect fine, and get DHCP address assigned, but the proxy server settings don't stick. internal sites are fine, but can't get outside as all access is barred except via the proxies. i figured it was a bug and live with it! please let me know if the official ROM fixes it or you find a workaround though!

Had no problems with proxy settings with the official WM5 or WM6 roms, but with B&B and WWE i've had no luck at all.
I do hope someone knows why this is happening.
Well, think i found the solution to this.
I was thinking that there had to be something specific to the 'cooked' roms which would disable the proxy, and the only thing i could in common with the Three cooked roms that i've tried has been battery status. It's the only utility that mentions specifically 'disabling the proxy for wifi'.
In the options for battery status you will find an option that will do just that, i enabled it(thus theoretically stopping the proxy from working), and then disabled it again. And now when i connect through my work connection, the proxy settings are still active and i can recieve my mail.
**and before anyone asks, i didn't enable the option before **
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
