I rooted my Kindle Fire and installed Gederom. While setting everything up it asked for me to connect to a network. Didn't work, so I thought no big deal and continued setting it up. I then tried Wifi again but it just won't work. This is what it does: Obtaining IP address ----> Saved ------> Obtaining IP address -----> Saved -----> Etc. My Wifi has been screwed up lately BUT I have gotten it to work on my iPod Touch, but even that works on and off. I might try going to my Local Library tomorrow if need be.
Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I think that may be your WiFi, gederom worked fine for me. If all else fails try and reflash after a wipe, tends to fix ,most problems out there.

Hi all,
I have done a search for this but cannot find someone with my exact problem so have given up and post my first thread. Still slightly a noob to this, however I cannot connect to my home WiFi. It gets stuck in a loop trying to receive a IP from the router, basically I can see the router but that is it.
My phone is running clockwork mod and a stable version of Cyanogen Mod 7.1. The router is a Belkin wireless N.
I have tried using a static IP on the phone, adding MAC address to router (90% sure both those details was input correctly) Adding the Wifi network manually to phone. I have tried connecting on to other WiFi's, have only managed to connected to half of the ones I have tried. It worked at the hotel I was staying at for work and my uncle's home network, but will not work at my uncle's work network or mine.
I don't think I have left anything out.
Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance

Are any of the networks you're trying to connect to use any security?
Also, run alogcat; maybe that will show where the errors are.

Yea, my uncle's home, work and my router use WPA/WPA2, cant remember the hotels one but I would imagine it would be the same. Oh also tried my router without security and it's still the same.
OK, doing a logcat now, but what do I do then? just looks like tons of code. Does it just loop over and over again?
Are there any known issues between android and belkin routers? as I have just remembered that my cousins android tablet and his Samsung S2 phone wont connect either and they are are not modified in anyway(rooted or custom roms)
I'm having a rough time getting my CM9 Epic to connect to my home vpn. Using Windows 7 x64, I've verified that the inbound connection works with other users on other builds of android including a HP touchpad on CM9 so I don't think it's a CM9 issue. Has anybody been able to get this working? I would hate to leave ICS for one silly issue
Update: Seems to be a known issue
http://code.google.com/p/epiccm/issues/detail?id=269
Did you ever get this working? Does anyone have any input on this? I am also trying to set up VPN, and am running AOKP Milestone-6, and cannot get VPN to work. Unlike kitsunpaws though, I cannot get ANYthing to connect. could quite possibly be a bad setup on my router, but I want to find out if I have any chance of this working even if I do get the router correct.
Not PTPP but I use OpenVPN with CM9. It was supported out of the box, no additional kernel modules required. Just installed OpenVPN settings and loaded my configuration files. Works great with a dd-wrt router.

I used openvpn and pptp in cm7/miui. also in the early cm10 builds, haven't checked recently. who's your vpn provider have you tried to contact them about the issue? I needed a set of special directions from mine before the pptp worked for me.
I have an old Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (Touch Pro 2). I have an app that allows it to run as a wifi hotspot (install file is called mobilewifirouter.cab).
Other devices connect to the hotspot fine, but the kindle just doesn't see it... even when they're right next to each other. Otherwise the kindle wifi works ok.
Is there any way I can get this going? It's tedious having to constantly consider wifi availability when I'm travelling with it. Maybe the KF doesn't see anything using a very old 802.11 standard?
ad-hoc vs infrastructure
I think the issue is the phone itself. Or rather, the chip/radio only being able to broadcast on ad-hoc which the KF (and other new 'droid devices) doesn't support. I used the same wifi manager you did, same results...
I have a ATT Tilt 2, btw
I guess I have the same problem:
I'm trying to have my lg p500 (android 2.2.1) working as a wifi hotspot and access it from my galaxy tab (3.2) but I can't never "see" my network from it.
Other devices (laptop, nokia E71) can connect, but not the galaxy tab.
Galaxy tab can connect to other wifi networks, but not the one I create in my phone with "Wifi Thether" app.
Any workaround to fix this?
Thanks,
João
I think WM6.5 wifi router software uses Adhoc mode for wifi rather than infrastructure mode. Android cannot connect to adhoc wifi network unless you have a modified WPA supplicant file (which can make your android device unstable).
Kindle Fire and many smartphones/tables cannot connect to the internet via ad-hoc.
Use Connectify software to create a access point from your laptop.
It's a problem that is corrected easily, all you need is ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher. It works, VERY well.

If you are on Stock ROM and rooted, this is perfect
But, if you are on a CM9 ROM(unsure about others), there is no ad-hoc support yet...

He didn't really say if he was using stock or not. I just posted what I know works. If it is wrong for him/her, then I am wrong!
I tried the app on CM9 ROM's, it doesn't play friendly...
For anyone else who searched this thread and they're trying to connect to an android phone... just wanted to recommend FoxFi. I tried several other apps and they all failed (probably due to some quirk of the Kindle Fire's, everyone's recommending these apps). But FoxFi got the job done. But only if you run it without a password. If you're fed up trying to make the kindle connect to your phone, try it.

the problem here is that KF running CM9 or CM10 cant connect to an adhoc wifi yet, not the problem of the phone.
So I'm a noob....yeah....with that said....
I rooted my Kindle Fire and Installed TWRP then flashed CM9.
Everything looks and runs smooth but when searching for WiFi it finds hotspots all over the neighborhood except for the one in my house.
I'm running a cheap D-Link router that works good enough for what I need..
WEP security
Mixed g,n,b
Channel Width is set to Auto 20/40 MHz
The Kindle Fire was able to pick up my WiFi before I flashed the new ROM.
Any help for a noob here?
Do a clean reflash this time when you sign into google decline to keep tablet backed up or restored by google servers good luck.
Hi everyone just registered however I've been following xda almost a year now. Searched the threads not finding a solution (very surprised)
I use static ip Address on my kindle fire 2 as I need to change my DNS .( For Netflix)
I visited family and whilst setting up wireless to their router I wrongly used my settings I use home ip address/ dns/router/ everything as it is home. Internet worked(not the same Netflix content as home though), however when I reached home the Netflix content didn't revert as previously.
When I checked Ip settings static ip was off.when I clicked t o change 127.0.0.1 was there.changed it still reverts to 127.0.0.1
I tried rebooting/ power cycling/ different variations of changing ip address shutting down/restarting. When I tick static ip and do nothing obviously I don't get internet access because of ip address being 127001
Any help would be appreciated.
Kindle Fire 2 running 10.4.6 rooted
If I unroot will that help and if yes can I just use unroot in Bin4ry to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Just an update I am only seeing one host file 127.0.0.1 localhost
That's exactly how it appears no # or anything.
I don't know if it will help and you will probably need to manually do this while rooted using as file explorer, but I'm guessing something in the system settings app's data could have gotten messed up and caused this. I know what your looking for will be in the /data/data folder, but I don't know the kindles internal app name for the network settings. If you can figure out that part then just delete its folder from the kindles /data/data folder and reboot, I think that will fix it. Doing a factory reset probably will as well but you will lose considerably more data. Wish I could be of more help but I'm on cm 10.1 and its not going to be quite the same when looking for the app name u need to look for in the /data/data folder I believe. My friend had something similar happen to his phone on cyanogen mod with his ringtone, it would do must wat Ur IP is doing, but clearing the database files from the system-apps' data folder fixed it.

Hi thanks for the reply, went digging around in the data/data folder in system but like you couldn't pinpoint which exactly is network settings . Thanks though.
