0x80072f78 error in WM6

First of all, I have a Cingular 8525 with the newest WM6. I get this error when I try to use my WiFi connection in IE. It lets me connect the network and even assigns me and IP address and everything, but whenever I try to load a page i get the 0x80072f78 error message. It happens on every network I have tried, even a completely unsecured network the other day. Is my wireless card in the phone broken?

try loading a different page after you get that error. if all else fails flash a new rom or hard reset and see if that works

WiFi is broken after rooting

After I rooted, my phone won't connect to WiFi anymore.
I started with the Cyanogen Mod (6.0.2). When I try to connect to a WiFi network, it tries to connect and gets to the "obtaining ip address" message, and finally fails to connect.
I figured I should try a different mod and completely wipe the card. So, I did this via Rom Manager. I had it backup and wipe, then install Skyraider w/ Sense. The same problem persists.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can troubleshoot this problem? Thanks!

Dumb question, but you did re-select the WiFi network you want to connect to, and re-entered the password for that network (if one is required)?

Yeah I have. I've tested this with multiple WiFi networks on each mod. It always gets to the point of "obtaining ip address" which to my understanding means the password has worked. Either way, I'll always long press to forget the password, and re-connect. Even disabling the password on the router still causes the same issue.

[Q] Wifi tether won't work, rooted KF and Evo 4G

I've searched several threads, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Both devices definitely 100% rooted with superuser working fine, permissions granted for all apps.
I installed wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk on the phone.
Device Profile: Evo 4G
Setup-Method: Initially I tried Softap (master). That's the same as infrastructure mode, correct?
Default SSID (AndroidTether)
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
If I attempt to run it with these settings, I get a popup informing me the wifi hotspot started, but with errors. The log just says most of the wifi steps failed, I can post details if needed. I don't think it's really running - no upload/download indicator showing at the bottom of the app. My PC can't see the hotspot.
If I switch Setup-Method to Ad-hoc, it runs fine, no errors, PC can see it and connect to it. But KF can't connect to Ad-hoc... so lame.
So, I got ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk for the kindle fire, to switch it to ad-hoc mode. Went to settings, told it to connect to AndroidTether. Switched to Ad-Hoc mode. It says "attempting to connect" ... after a minute it gives up and keeps retrying. The hotspot shows in the list of wifi networks, but it's hanging at "Obtaining IP address".
So, what's the issue? Infrastructure mode not working? Need to flash a custom rom? I read something about maybe needing a non-stock kernel? Upgrade or downgrade my radio?

I finally found a method that works, barely.
Wifi Tether (app listed above) failed.
Adhoc Switcher failed.
Wifi Hotspot Widget failed.
Elixir2's hotspot widget failed (connected but no surf).
The one that worked is free and doesn't even need root apparently: Foxfi.
I say it "barely" worked because even this has issues.
When I tried to create a password, it wouldn't connect.
But if I leave the password blank (no password) it does work.

I just told it to start running, and left the SSID at the default (FoxFi98 I believe).

WiFi not working in Lifeless v14

After flashing this ROM (3 times), I'm not able to get WiFi working. The Play store didn't work right away, and I kept getting the "Hands Free Activation" wizard every time I booted, but after wiping and re-flashing I think those work.
When I turn on WiFi, it sees my network, but when I enter the password it just says "saved, secured" and doesn't try to connect. Clicking on the network only gives me the options to Cancel, Forget, or Connect. Connect does nothing, and Forget puts be back at square one.
I'm also unable to use the hotspot feature, when I tick the box it says "Turning on..." and that's all.
Any thoughts?

Wi-Fi won't connect -Wi-Fi Connection Failure

I'm having a huge issue. My Wi-Fi won't work on my 2013 Nexus. I select it. It sees it with a full signal and I put in the password, It just says saved. I tried with a connection without a password, it says the same thing. I tried flashing back to factory multiple times but it does nothing. It was working and just all of a sudden went out on me. Is there a way to flash a driver or something?

Firstly, just reboot the WiFi access point and try to connect to it again.
Did you change firmware or any settings on the WiFi access point? Do other devices connect to it properly?
Can your Nexus connect to other WiFi access points? Try it with your mobile's WiFi hot spot.
Finally, we need some logs:
turn off N7 wifi
start logcat (I prefer 'time' format: adb logcat -v time > log.txt )
turn on N7 wifi
try to connect
stop logcat
compress and post the log here
