XDAIIi and Wifi

I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point, and have configured the IP address manually (I know IP, dns and gateway are right)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help
Dave

Can you ping the XDA from any other station on the network ?
Is your network 802.11b or 802.11g or both ?

both
No, I can't ping the xda from anywhere else. The access point is both. I have two other stations - one on g and one on b.
thanks
Dave

Must be something in the config on the XDA.
If you look at the settings for the WiFi network card on the XDA what does it say it connects to..."Work" or "The Internet".
Try changing that and see if that helps.

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

wireless+page cannot be found

My phone connects to the wireless point but when I use PocketExplorer I get the message "page cannot be found" - Can anybody help resolve this problem?? Thanks!

try typing in 192.168.1.1 (your wireless) and making sure that it is connected to the internet

Yes, The internet is connected and works wirelessly on my laptop but my xda keeps giving me "page cannot be found" - I have tried "Opera browser" and I get the same error - The wireless is connected but the internet doesnt work!
However the internet works fine when I use the xda cradle!

the reason it works fine in the cradle is because it isnt actually using the xdas internet connection it is actually using the pc's......try changing the followin
IP address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask should come up automatically
residential gateway 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS 192.168.1.1
this is to make sure that no other system is using the same IP address
hope this helps
if u have tried this then try the automatically assigned IP again....

Desire share LAN internet access in office

Below is my experience. I hope this can help you.
WiFi LAN
phone<------------------> laptop <-------> Proxy<----->Internet
10.1.1.10 10.1.1.1 NATed
Prerequisite:
1. laptop or pc has wireless adapter that support configured as AP.
2. OS that support NAT (LAN as public network, wifi as private network).
My laptop is Windows XP SP3
3. A DHCP/DNS server. I use DualServer
Steps:
1. Configure wireless adapter as AP mode and give a static IP. (10.1.1.1, netmask is 255.255.255.0
2. Configure DualServer in laptop.
I just modified DualServer.ini with following line based on defalut installation.
[LISTEN-ON]
10.1.1.1 # only listen this interface, not affect office network
[DHCP-RANGE]
DHCP_Range=10.1.1.100-10.1.1.119
DNS_Server=10.1.1.1 # all phone's DNS query request will be forwarded to latptop
Router=10.1.1.1 # all phone's traffic will be routed to laptop
[xx:xx:xx:ea:a5:8d] # phone's wifi interface MAC Address, in order to given fixed IP.
IP_Addr=10.1.1.10
DNS_Server=10.1.1.1
Router=10.1.1.1
3. Configure NAT on XP laptop
In command window:
a). net stop remoteaccess
b). netsh routing ip nat install
c). netsh routing ip nat delete interface "Local Area Connection" full
d). netsh routing ip nat add interface "Wireless Network Connection 5" private
e). netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private
f). net start remoteaccess
Please replace your interface name on step c) and d).
4. Start wireless AP on laptop. Make sure laptop can access internet.
Open wifi on phone, find laptop's AP and link to. Then phone will be allocated a IP (10.1.1.10).
You can configure some security protocol on phone and laptop.
5. In most case, Your office internet access is via proxy.
You should also install a proxy app called TransProxy in phone.
Then configure your proxy info to TransProxy.
6. Does not work?
Install Android SDK if not. run "abd shell"
ping 10.1.1.1, It should be OK, other You have wireless configuration error.
ping address1 is OK (address1 is IP address of your LAN interface),
Other Your NAT configuration contains error.
Now you can surf internet on phone now.
If your wireless adapter does not support AP mode.
Please refer to another thread, (forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8686601&postcount=17)
It still can share laptop's internet.

How does DNS work?
I am trying to use transproxy but I have not idea how the DNS could work. My understanding is all the traffic will go through transproxy. But my phone doesn't know anything about it, right? The iptables redirects the traffic from port 80, 443, etc. to redsocks. If my phone's applications don't know the proxy, how can they use GET http instead of DNS query?

Hotspot problem, limited connectivity/ no internet

This is how i fixed the problem. after 2 days of RND
Activated hotspot on my arc, and waited for my laptop to connect. After you get connected your laptop adapter will show limited connectivity/no internet.
Now go to the market and download "Network info"
open network info and find out the IP address of your device.
it will be something like 192.168.43.1
now go to to your wireless setting of your laptop, and change the settings to DHCP to static.
if your phone has IP 192.168.43.1
Then configure your laptop's ip 192.168.43.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway will be your phones IP. ie 192.168.43.1.
dns 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
