Anyone else having this problem? Everytime I turn off and on my wifi on phone it uses a new mac address when it connects to router, so that it gets the ipaddress at the bottom of the list (100/101/102 what every is open) instead of the one i try to sign to that mac. I have port forwarding setup for a few things and it keeps changing on me. :/. Am I alone in this?

Just installed CoolCamera, does what it says on the tin great but after entering the IP address for my laptop so I can connect with wifi, it all works great but if I stop it for any reason it then won't connect to my IP only some default IP, Unless I soft reset and then it will select mine. So I am looking for an easy fix a dummy like me can do.
If it is dull for you jedi jerks to read the same repetitive posts it is dull for us halflings to be told to search, just where? any clues?
In answer in part to my own question, If I connect via active sync then disconnect the next time I connect with wifi it comes up with the right IP. I can find where the config text is stored but can't figure out where the default IP is to change that. Is this just how it works or am I so weak in the force I shoud charge up my 3210?
i just upgraded to shaps latest wm6 rom. the wifi works at first; but when i came back from school, it wont connect anymore. it gives the error 'cannot connect to the networ and service provider settings and try again. i tried setting my router to an open network. but it still wont connect. i tried it on a different router. it gives the same error. did a hard reset twice. connects as soon as i finish hard reset. but after like i come back from school. it gives the same error. i even re-flashed the rom this morning and it was working. i just got in now and its still giving me the same error. can someone help me please??
Check that your mac address is still ok and you are getting an ip address. There is a thread on here for fixing dead WLAN if your mac address is blank.

not sure if this is gona help, but when i had wifi problems i found that going to settings, wireless lan, then the power mode tab and changing the power save mode from best battery to best performance fixed my wifi issues.
get your email address out of your login name
Try removing the network connection settings and let it redetect the network.
I looked around the forum and searched on Google but was still skeptical how to connect my Evo to my home internet connection. I turn on my Evo WiFi, it shows my connection so I push connect. Then I see I am unable to to browse from my phone. I have a speedstream 5200 that is connected to my airlink wireless router. I would like to use my home internet so I can browse on my phone. I have a username and password that I have to put in, in order to log on such as my laptop.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
Also does this have to do anything with vpn?

If your router has a password, the phone should prompt you to enter that. If not, your router could be using a weird security profile, maybe just try switching to WEP. Also, try unplugging the router's power for a minute, then plug it in. That usually fixes any problems with the router itself.
Ill try that and see. If anyone else has this type of issue and somewhat knows how to resolve this pls post. But thank you sitlet Ill give that a shot and respond back asap.
WEP/WPA/WPA2 will all prompt for a password when you try to connect.
A few things to check:
1) The SSID must be set to broadcast
2) make sure there isn't a MAC address filter turned on on the router.
3) if you have entered a password to connect, re-enter it to make sure it is correct.
HTC Evo
Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.
Ok I did everything mentioned above and I can get into my router settings but I still can't figure out why my Evo won't use my att service. I see the "connect to, my router " but still can't actually connect to use the internet. Am I suppose to use a VPN? please help again my friends, thanks.

OP, it sounds like your modem is passing on the PPPoE authentication to the connected client (your computer). What you need to do is have the modem do the PPPoE handshaking and pass a pure public IP back to your router, which then via NAT shares the internet connection across connected devices.
Reference page 21 (not pdf page, but actual page # printed at the bottom of the pages in the pdf) of your modem's owner's manual to provide your login credentials to the modem.
http://www2.windstream.net/downloads/links/SpeedStream211.pdf
On page 38, refer to configuring the modem for client mode.
You should configure your router for DHCP wan mode. You may need to adjust your MTU setting if there is one. I don't recall the exact procedure for dsl setups, but google "optimal mtu dsl" for information.
Finally, your computer should be set up for dhcp as well. When everything is working properly, you should not need to run any additional software on your computer to gain internet access. When this becomes so, your evo should be able to connect successfully to your wifi. Once you're able to do this, you can start implementing wireless security (wep/wpa/wpa2).
Edit: You're not clear what you're typing in when you reference logging in in one of the posts above. Are you supplying windows credentials, or your isp credentials ([email protected] or [email protected] or similar and password)?
Here is a head scratcher...
When changing the IP subnet from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.2.x (or any thing else for that matter) the HTC One M8 will not connect to the WiFi. It will only connect when the subnet is 192.168.1.x. All the other devices - even an iPhone - work without issue when moving them to the new subnet. Everything on my LAN uses a static IP address. I assign them all myself and write down what devices use what address.
Does anybody know how to fix this? The phone is 100% factory and it is not mine, so rooting is out of the question.
So, like everyone else i've been waiting forever for this stupid update to come out.
I finally get it today, and the stupid thing won't connect to WiFi?!
Anyone else have this issue yet? :crying:
OK so turns out that it will connect, to a standard WPA/psk ap. My main ap has a Mac filter enabled, even with the devices Mac in (or filter off), it won't authenticate...
While in range of the secured Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect, you actually need to go to Settings --> Wi-Fi Settings (on the watch), and tap on the network name. It will then ask you to input the password on your phone. After you do that, it should work.
Oh... I just reread your 2nd post, and see that your issue is not a password issue. Nevermind.
Still, good information for others.
This would be great if there were a way to input password on the watch... that way, if you forgot phone, but had watch with wifi access, you could still use it.
mine is updated. My 360 still doesn't show Me the option to even connect to WiFi.
I have a htc one m8
Same issue
I have a Cisco Aironet 1142N and it is spitting out authentication errors when my Moto 360 attempts to connect to wireless. I have checked I am entering the correct WPA2 passphrase correctly on the phone. Anyone found a solution yet?
