Hi, I have a new HTC windows phone. My computer is windows 7 and all is well. I want to set the phone up to our work intranet which is WPA2-Enterprise Security. Is windows 7 mobile and WPA2-Enterprise compatible?
Thanks Patrice

WM7 definitely supports WPA2-Enterprise.
This is something you should speak with your IT support people about, there are more than a few ways to setup authentication when using WPA2-Enterprise. They will most likely provide you with the proper credentials and/or network settings needed to connect.
You can always try by going to settings->wifi and selecting your works' wireless network and using your work credentials (username/password) to see if it allows you on.
Let us know if you have any luck or if you need any help!
i have a problem because at my work im supposed to enter anonymous info (atleast on android it wont connect unles i enter the anonymous info) along with my username and password which isnt possible on WP7 and thus i cant connect. i know that i had to select PAP, TTLS, enter my username, then [email protected] and then password on android. if i didnt enter anonymous it wouldnt connect.
any ideas ?

As a wifier with a pda2k , how does one know if he has been discovered by the network owner and in addition , where he has gone , not to mention the pda's security . My files can't be looked at can they? I need serious security assistance . My personal data may have allready been compromised! Damn .
Thank you.
(I'll just wait here on a secure network till I can secure my 'lil unit
Treat your PPC as if it were a portable computer running on celeron. As of the moment I can only recall maybe 4 known viri for Windows Mobile. If you are an avid WiFi'er as I am, try to browse your unit from your desptop pc without activesync activated. You might want to port scan the PPC as well. I run an FTP and web server on my unit (for my own purposes), and I have never had any files compromised unless I allow it. If you are really that peranoid, encrypt the files you don't want read without your permission.
Well I'm a Mac guy so browsing on a desktop won't happen. I just need to be able to surf annomously and not have the network owner view me or my files.
The netwqork admin will always know you are using the router because the wifi router assigns you an IP address. No getting around that. But it will be highly unlikely that he can access your unit resources unless you have a backdoor trojan running on your unit. If you don't know, google up "antivirus scanner for pocket pc", and install it.
Hey MACGUY have you seen PocketMAC? It could be useful!
SORRY i didnt mean to hijack your thread!

Thanks . I installed the viri scanner and found nothing. It maybe that the open AP is being tapped by someone else as well as me , explaining the third MAC address. Can this be possible? It's a ff.ff.ff.ff.ff
Hi guys, I need to know if a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone (e.g. htc s620) can connect to a WPA Enterprise protected network or need some extra software to do that... can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
In theory all you should have to do is enter the details or pick it up from your list. However, I've been having problems connecting to radius connections as well.
I've followed all the settings, but it's still not working.
I'm using WPA2 AES, PEAP, and I've even downloaded the root certificate for the server.... and still it doesn't work.
Ok, thanks for the reply. Next week I'll try to use that connection (I'm away now) and see how this works even if I'm not so trustful...
Hello fellow XDA users,
I've tried to connect to my universities Wi-fi network but they use WPA2 Enterprise. They have a page for the Iphone on how to set up the connection, http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=159&artlang=en.
However I can't seem to find the same exact settings on my Desire.
Can you help me connect to my network?
I am using Sense Froyo right now, any help is really appreciated!
Don't think you can connect to that type or network with the Desire, might be wrong though

I really hope it's not true. Because we have a high end phone & because the Iphone can do it.
Hmm here WPA2 Radius Auth. is working fine out of the box with Open Desire ... also Stock unrooted is working fine.
Radius is working fine, even VPN. As fast as with an Iphone! ;-) (a little bit faster ... no benchmark, personal feelings )
You need the Username and Password and some auth settings (can also be done with testing), thats all ... perhaps the admin uses an cert., so you have to ask for one ... but i dont think that you will need an Cert ... too much admin work for so many students ;-)
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use WPA2. However, many universities and schools use SecureW2 or similar software for authentication. Just pay a visit to your university's helpdesk.

I have zero understanding about networking. So can you please take a look at this and help me understand: http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=19&artlang=en
Thank you.
My university uses a WPA2 Enterprise secured wireless network and the good news is that I was able to connect with my stock HTC Desire. The bad news is of course that it isn't as simple as it should be.
What I did was reset my phone's so called Credential Storage and assign a new personal password to it. Then I proceeded to identify some specific Root Certificate Authority certificate needed to establish a connection between a random device and the university networks in my country. In Switzerland, I had to download the QuoVadis Root CA2 certificate and install it into the Credential Storage. After that, the phone determined after connecting to the secured network what parameters were necessary to get internet access.
I was able to simply specify my account and password and link those parameters to that network. Since then, everything works as expected.

So I need to download the .cert file and install it through the credentials storage. I will try that and report, thank you guys.
I use WPA2 Enterprise at uni all the time, and it downloaded the certificate upon first connect. Requires secure credentials to be enabled, but i think if its disabled it will prompt you at the time.
There are different Settings in your Link (first page) and the xp infos on the site. ... i thought that the following infos will do it for you.
Download the cert to sd
Add an connection (manually)
Network name: AUS_Wireless (makes sure it is typed exactly this way)
Security type: 802.1x
PEAP / EAP
Encryption type: WPA/TKIP
Leave the security key field empty
User name: b000xxxxx/g000xxxxx (without adding @aus.edu)
Enter your network password (provided by IT via email)
Now you should be able to connect.
I did it.
A weird thing happened. I connected to the network and this time I was asked to add a password for the credential. So it seems that my phone downloaded it this time and saved it.
Thank you guys for your help.
So I am having trouble connecting to the internet through the mobile hotspot on my dinc when using Windows 7. It says it is connected but I cannot navigate to any webpages, I just get a time out error. When I boot my computer using Ubuntu 10.4 or if I use my laptop with XP, I have no problems. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

What settings are you using? I use my Dinc and 3G Mobile Hotspot with no problems on my Windows 7 machine.

The encryption type is set to WPA2, but I tried the other settings and have the same problem as well.

OK. Check this. Open the 3G Mobile Hotspot app. On the main screen, select Manage Users. It should bring up a screen with Allow Users Only and Max. Connections. Max connections should be 5 and ensure Allow Users Only is unchecked. Go back and start the app and see if it is now working. If it does, the problem was this. With allow users only checked, the system will ask you if you want to allow the connection when a system tries to connect. If you are not paying attention, you can miss this request. The app will say that you have a connection, and so will your system, but it will not allow packets to pass through since you did not give the system permision to connect. With this unchecked, any computer with the correct password will be able to connect.
Hi,
I'm stuck for a while without internet access except via 3G. I've got a dev phone running the Mango beta 2.
I was wondering if anyone had an idea about how I could make a proxy server or any other kind of tethering for it.
I was looking to use HttpListener or Sockets.Listen but both are unavailable for the phone.
I thought I might have to make a server application for the laptop that has a proxy server listening port and a phone listening port then have an application on the phone that connects to the server app. Once established, pass requests on from the laptop app to the phone app and get the phone to do the requests.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of how to do this over sockets is limited and if anyone could give me some advice I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Depending on which phone you have it might be possible to switch into teethering mode in the MFG app (usually installed by dialing ##634#).
HTC 7 Trophy .. I'm not aware of a way to use tethering on that.

Do you have a old Windows mobile 6.5 device sitting around ? Then for the temp window you need it, switch ESN/SIM to your 6.5 device, wi-fi teather, then swap back ESN/SIM when you need it...
Depending on your carrier....I know with Verizon, I can change hardware on-line
I'm unaware of how the network stack works in WP7.
If you're connected to WiFi, in your application can you choose to use 3G or WiFi? Maybe there are some P/Invoke calls you could do?
If so, then connect your phone to a router ... same with your laptop. Then relay HTTP(S) between the two connections.
Otherwise, we'll need to be able to execute native applications.
