Cannot connect on my wireless at home...plz help!

I have a cingular 8525 (WM5, and updated from cingular) which can connect on my wireless at work, but when I want to connect to my personal wireless at home it cannot connect, but it does for unlocked wireless around my appartment.
There's nothing wrong with my wireless system, because my laptop can connect all the time.
It keeps telling me that the password is wrong, but it's right because it works for my laptop.
A highly trained friend in computers tried to fix the problem and he doesn't understand why it doesn't connect, even if i leave my wireless unlocked.
My wireless is from comcast and it's a fast cable-DSL.
I'm thinking to download WM6 and see if it gets fixed...
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I've experienced that too. Here's how I fix my problem.
1.set in PPC as hidden network.
2. Turn on WIFI, delete existing connections, then add new connection and assigned new key ( I use WEP) and that's it.
BTW. Did you set MAC filtering on your Router. If you do , you need to add the PPC MAC address to the router....
Good luck

I agree with pl55, however maybe you should post this in the main Hermes forum as this forum is for questions related to WM6...
Just a gentle suggestion

Mate,
There a few of us who have had strange things take place with wifi on the HTC handsets. Me being one of them. My wifi at home is 100% stable when it comes to pc's yet when it comes to my handheld it is completely unpredictable - until...........
I have just upgraded my ROM (again) to Black Shadow and all of the issues have gone away. I haven't even had to do anything extra. So what does this tell me????? It tells me that there are certain things in certain builds that cause anomolys problems.
I would give a different ROM a shot. I can vouch for the Black series but I am sure the others are equally good.
Before you do all of that, you might want to see if your handheld is actually seeing your SSID (if its not withheld) by using something other than the wifi software on the handset. Try something like wififofum (great little app).
Good luck.

2 minor problems with Wifi and WM6

First of all thanks to Schap. I am using schap's compiled WM6.
I have 2 small problems.
The first one is:
I setup a WIFI connection, than launch the application which will use Internet!
(I.Explorer or VPN, etc..)
When I do some request from any application, my PPC tries to dial a number to connect via EDGE, GPRS or HSDPA, even PPC is already connected to Internet!!
The internet explorer downloads the page without any problem but at the same time i always cancel dialing via gsm or umts line.
Is there any way to make PPC avoid dialing a connection when I connected wia Wifi???
The second one is:
I have the latest version of Trinitiy with 400Mhz Samsung and 128Mb RAM. But since i cracked and reinstalled WM6 instead of WM5, it works slowly. I clicked to Start button, menu scrolls in 3 seconds. It is like running vista on pentium III processor. Is it normal? or I made a mistake during configuration?
Is it possible to upgrade RAM?
Regards to everyone...

For your 2nd problem, can you try to disable cleartype and touchflo ?

Thanks..
Now it is working faster. But i have always the same problem concerning the wifi issue...
When I am connected to the internet via Wifi or activeSync the bottom of IE says "Connecting ... 0 KB." At the same time it tries to connect via 3G, GPRS or EDGE. Then I get a message saying "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap Settings."
I have tried everything on connection->settings. But still tries to connect via cellular line even there is a connection to internet!

I think i have the same problem, but in my case, it connects internally, so, when i click the internet button, i get a delay of like 15 seconds before to get any screen. this is happennig recently... it was working fine until 1 or 2 days ago... i have the proxy settings on the internet connection... im thinking that this maybe related.

Internet Sharing (Not a problem with Kavana or Ricky ROM)

Accessing & Using the internet via USB
I have an unlocked HTC S620 & TyTN (Hermes).
When I connect the TyTN to the USB I am able to browse the internet as the phone uses the PC as a gateway automatically.Even if I do not setup a profile for activesync and the software recognises the device as "Guest". I am ceretain that this is the case and not accessing the service via the carrier or WiFi as I have enabled flight mode and been able to use the internet on the TyTN, browsing, using IM+ Mobile Mesenger etc.
I do not find the same functionality with the HTC S620 (T-Mobile Dash). Does anyone know how to get this functionality going?

Usually you always need to make a partnership for internet pass through to work. Strange you don't with the Hermes.

When you say partnership I asume you mean bluetooth.
I Turned on Flight mode and diabled bluetooth on the TyTN, connected it to the PC. Activesync came on and I cancelled setting up a profile so it was registered as guest. I got internet access via the usb cable connected to the PC. The same is not working for the S620.
I guess the distinction between the two is the TyTN is a Pocket PC and the S620 is a smartphone. There are various Ethernet Miniport Cards available for configuration on the TyTN. You find these under Settings>>NetworkCard>>Network Adapters. The one I find that shows up as connected is IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wifi Adapter, this I find strange as the device is in flight mode. The S620 does not have all the features and configurable network adapters under settings. Simply put a smartphone will not have all the networking capability of the Pocket PC
Let me know your thoughts please, or if you have another solution.

Here is how I got mine working.
1) Connect phone to pc.
2) Make sure ActiveSync shows connected.
3) Under ActiveSync Window select File->Connection Settings...
4) Change the "This computer is connected to:" setting from "Automatic" to "The Internet".
5) Under you phone go to IE -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections and make sure "Automatically detect settings" is enabled.
That's it. You should now be able to browse the internet through your pc connection.
Forgot to mention I am using ActiveSync ver 4.5.

Dash Internet Sharing Files on S720
On my HTC S720, there was no Internet Sharing option, even though it is WM6 unit. So after reading lots of threads on here and hofo, found out Blackjack had similar issue, as well as some WM5 devices running AKU 3 or higher.
So I copied intshrui.exe, intshare.dll and intshrui.lnk from Dash WM6 Rom dump, created relevant registry entries as:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp\DefaultIcon]
@="tapres.dll,-14294"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp\SelectIcon]
@="tapres.dll,-14295"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING]
"0"="MSINTERNET_SHARING"
"1"="IntShrUI.exe"
"2"=dword:00000001
"3"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\Session]
@=hex:00,db,4d,43,70,b9,c7,01
Then run intshrui.exe and while I can connect via Bluetooth PAN, I couldn't get any IP. I also tried a static IP and that didn't work as well. I investigated a little more, and found another key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing]
"DisabledOnBoot"=dword:00000001
"EnableAddressTranslation"=dword:00000001
"EnableDhcpAllocator"=dword:00000001
"EnableDnsProxy"=dword:00000001
"EnablePacketFiltering"=dword:00000001
"PrivateInterface"=""
"PublicInterface"=""
"SetLastDhcpAddrToIEH"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\Driver]
"Dll"="ipnat.dll"
"Flags"=dword:00000002
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="NAT"
Then I copied ipnat.dll to s720. Here is the interesting part. If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing exists, intshrui.exe will not connect, it will briefly grey out and come back to disconnected mode. As soon as I delete the key, it will setup USB or BT PAN and wait for connection (left soft key turns to Disconnect). I don't even have to reset the unit while making change to this key. Also, I left the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing as empty, and noticed as soon as I run intshrui.exe, it will populate
"PrivateInterface"=""
"PublicInterface"=""
keys under ConnectionSharing key. I also tried to change various reg keys, such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpEnableRouter to 1, and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Connectivity]
"InternetSharing"=dword:00000001
None helped as well.
Am I missing a file or reg key to make this work? I looked on my Dash for various keys/files but didn't see anything useful.

has anyone figure out how to get internet sharing on wm6?

Have a look at;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1517183&posted=1#post1517183
I posted up the files and a .reg file taken from my WM6 Dopod 838, but I don't know if everything required is there. If anyone knows what else is required I'm happy to copy it from my device and post it here.

Would you mind posting ipnat.dll - it is missing from Blackjack II WM6..

6.1 Internet Sharing Problem *R.I.P.*
Has anyone figured out why Internet sharing NO LONGER works with any 6.1 roms that i flashed to? From Kavanas ROM s to Ricky's Remakes.
Is there a fix to this?
Can any of you "smarter" Gents or Ladies, look into this.

this is wierd. who is your operator? mine works just fine with the settings i use. maybe we should find out if this problem only exist for certain operators. might also have to do with the network connections on the pc. like i said in another post, i noticed a new network connection appears when you sync the phone, unlike in wm6.0. another thing is i would have problems with activesync everytime i flashed to a new rom without doing a uninstall & reinstall of activesync.

Shouldn't be operator issue. Worked great prior to updating to 6.1. (T-Mobile USA)
What rom are you using?

damn u were quick to respond. i edited my first post. im usin the new v15 rom. and tmobile is my operator.
ediit: i just messed with my settings and went back to how i had them before and now its not letting me do the internet share. hmm... this is not cool

Iv used V14, V8 and V5 and none of them allow my internet sharing to work. V5 worked at first but then stopped.
I really like 6.1 but I NEED that internet sharing

WHAT settings are talking of? that work for you?

INTERNET VIA USB PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
ok i think the problem may be with activesync. like i said, in my second post edited, i had messed with the advance settings of connections menu, and reverted back and it stopped net sharin via usb. i noticed activesync gave me an error sayin somethin about not being able to fully connect but i was still able to browse my phone, also giving me a constant animation of the activesync icon, saying "connecting" never stopping when a full connection is establish. when i fixed this and the icon stopped turning and said "connected" i tried and it worked.
on a fresh install of the past couple of roms, this is what i did... (from an earlier post of mine)
this is what i did. use the "connection setup" in the accessories folder. choose country & operator. dont think it matters but i also selected "Enable Auto Configuration" under the menu.
in explorer, under "menu/tools/options/connections" Auto.Detect Settings is selected. under "Select Network" choose The Internet.
now go into ur phones "Connection" settings, select "GPRS". in my case, select, "T-Mobile WModem Link", under "Connects to", select The Internet. for other operators, guess look for somethin similar. now u should be able to share via usb.
one thing u might have to do is, delete whatever gprs settings u have now and power off and back on. then do the above.
sorry if this is so messy looking

Can you post the entry "seetings" for "T-Mobile WModem Link"
I manually entered my connections.
So i dont have the modem link

static-IP over WIFI and 3G: 2.03-ROM bug?

I have been flashing a few 2.03 ROMs in the last few days and in all of them I find the same malfunction. I first tried with a few cooked ROMs and finally also with the stock one, same result.
Problem is with setting a static IP in WIFI. At first, it works all fine. However, soon after disconetting WIFI, you get the surprise of being unable to use the data connection over GPRS. I have trying everything (dunno how many soft- and hard-resets, even changing radio's), the only solution I have been able to find was simply that of deleting all parameters referring to the WIFI connection (including hence the static ip). By doing that, all gets back to normal. Simple solution but kind of annoying if everytime I want to use WIFI and static-IP (quite often in my case) I have to set all parameters again and again. I am now back to a 2.00 ROM which has not this problem.
Any chance someone can suggest a more elegant and stable solution?
cheers, much appreciated

Same problem here.
best regards

Got the same problem
Got the same problem here: running Dutty's V4 ROM I can't connect if I have a static ip address listed for my WIFI connection. I did have the same issue once before on a 1.93 ROM which was fixed by a hard reset, but no joy with that this time.

bump! so many new good roms flying around... i wonder whether this bug with WiFi/staticIP has been fixed. ???
thanx

i had the same problem, thx for the cab, works until somebody will fix this problem...

today I've tried to make a rom with new wm build and eom and drivers from 2.00 (which don't have this problem) but gprs doesn't work with static ip... so i think it is caused from last wm build... damn microsoft

I'm having a similar problem - I have a static IP and can not connect to wi-fi unless connected to activesync...
Can the wifi profiles program help? If so what do I have to do on it? Do I have to change any values?
Any other ideas?

His!…
the same problem with Touch PRO from the update of ROM.
Installing the old ROM it even follows the problem.
Greetings

I have the same problem as well. I can connect to wifi at home with or without activesync , but sometime I can't connect free wifi at Mcdonald or car wash. Can someone help pointing out problem? or setting I need to do. Many thanks

I'm having the same problem with wm 6.1 build 21043, this sucks so much. I thought it was a problem with the hardware in the Diamond at first, but so many other people are having it that it's more than likely a problem with Windows Mobile.
Any fixes?

Turn on DHCP server on, that means AP will gives you automatically IP, and you can use wireless connection...
In options in "select networks" , select "my work" or something similarly, don't use ISP!
I don't have problem with active DHCP server on my HTC diamond, and i can use everywhere wireless connection...
I use Cloudy1.1 rom

to be more exact:
"My Location" works as long as WiFi is on. You can use any connections that you like as long as keeping WiFi on and not connected to any network.
It works, if I'm not mistaken, along with Google Maps and thus for the very first time when you update it'll ask to allow or disallow google maps to collect datas... allow it.
i ever have any problem with it ever since more stable version of the manila/sense came out. i usually update "My Location" via USB ActiveSync with WiFi on.
Tested on XannyTech GRID and EVO series

ok. I understood what you told me, but if I connect through the wifi router at home (the router being connected to the web through a DSL connection), shouldn't my HD see that connection as a WIFI connection - at least this is how I understand it. Am I wrong?

Maybe check your router setting and security setting. I tried in my wifi connection in my school and it worked fine.
