Hi,
I'm having problems with the configuration of the WIFI lan. I need to configure an IP Adress because the network does't support DHCP.
I need help with that. Does anyone knows how to do that? Or the 2020i only conects to networks with DHCP?
TIA
Joao
Under Settings go to the Connections tab and tap on Network Cards. Select the Wireless Ethernet (2nd from the bottom on my Qtek 2020i) and select the "Use specific IP adress" option. Enter your own addresses and then modify the DNS addresses on the next tab.
Et voila ..
The second adapter that i have in my 2020i is L2TP NDISWAN Miniport. Is this the correct on? I have the option "My network card connects to:" set to The Internet. Is this correct? Or should I connect to Work? I don't understand the diference between this two concepts...
Thanks
On my Alpine, it's the tiacxlwn compatible wireless ethernet adaptor. The difference between 'Work' and 'Internet' is that if you connect via Work, you can define a proxy server (which is what I have to do when I connect via my University's wifi, as we're proxied through an authenticating proxy server) - Internet just tries to connect straight to the Internet, and won't allow you to define a proxy.

I cannot connect to wifi. It says connected and it says i have an IP address but i can't navigate to any webpages. I use WEP and have WM5. If I enter a wrong wep key it won't connect so i feel that i am actually connected to the network just my device isn't realizing it. Is there any manager like the cooked rom of 2003se where i could manually choose WLan as my option to connect to the internet. I have also tried turning off wep on my router and other settings like that. Changed in between connected to work or the internet. Any ideas?
I found the problem. for some reason it was trying to connect on my gprs proxt server. that would always deny the connection. I had to set up my GPRS as my work connection and a generic connection that connected to the internet and ONLY put this network connects to the internet. Also it only worked if i used the existing my work connection and didn't work if i created my own with the same settings..
All is now well in thw WM5 world.. no more resets!!! think this might be a bug though..
I just realized that this ONLY pertains to ATT GPRS settings because they are the only ones who need to set up a proxy server..
now that connections work with my wifi i have one problem and this occurs with GPRS also.. my connections seem to time out. I was trying to download about 50k of mail and after about 10 messages it says "Unable to connect to incoming mail server" I've been connected just fine.. then the connections fails.. i have to do it all over again..
I have been reading WiFi threads on here for hours but can't seem to find the right answer.
I have a WiFi network at home that I can connect to when enabling Wi-Fi through the Comm Manager. My Wizard is running Xelencin's T-Mobile USA 2.26 Custom ROM (Wizard/MDA).
The problem is, when I'm at home and fire up Pocket IE, the phone tries to connect using GPRS rather than my WiFi connection. What I want is for Pocket IE to use WiFi when I'm connected to WiFi, and GPRS at other times.
Many posts reference going to Start > Settings >Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks, and changing the settings for "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet..." to either "My ISP" or "My Work Network".
I have 4 items listed in these drop-downs:
My ISP
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
My Work Network
When I look at the settings for "My ISP" there is one connection defined called "T-Mobile WModem Link" that is set to use the modem "Cellular Line (GPRS) and access point name "wap.voicestream.com"
The settings for "My Work Network" don't show a connection listed at all. If I create a new one, my options for selecting a "modem" are:
Bluetooth
Cellular Line
Cellular Line (GPRS)
Generic IrDA
Hayes Compatible on COM1:
None of these seems to be right for a WiFi connection.
The settings for "T-Mobile Data" are the same as the settings for My ISP except the connection is called "T-Mobile Data"
The settings for "T-Mobile MMS" are also the same (GPRS and wap.voicestream.com).
It seems like T-Mobile is blocking me from using Wi-Fi as the default internet connection. I really like this ROM and would prefer not to change it. Can anyone help?
with my Wizard as long as i'm connected to a wifi network (and i have an IP address and gateway from that network) it will browse with it... only when i'm not on any network connected to the internet (including via USB Active sync) does it connect using gprs. The "My ISP" conenction is configured for my GPRS Network.
Somehting i can suggest is that you open Network Adapters, select your WLAN Wireless Adapter and choose "this network card connect me to The Internet"
good luck!
PS make sure the wifi network your conecting has a shared internet connection... if its not shared your phone will use GPRS even if its connected.

I have no problem browsing with Wifi. My wireless connection isnt the issue. My problem is not being able to make Wi-Fi, my default internet connection.
I think this works
I think this is the thread that solved it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261438&highlight=internet+wifi+gprs
To be fair, I usually have to try a couple of settings to get it to work automatically, but eventually I do.
No luck for me. I think I'm just going to have to learn how to cook a custom extended rom without the "T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab", and then hard reset. Is there a simple way to delete that cab file from the extended rom and also make that change to the "Config.txt" file (in the extended rom)? Anytime I try making changes to the extended rom via Total Commander, all the files in the extended rom end up looking garbled.
The way my home network is set up (dhcp turned off on the wireless router) I need to specify a static ip on my phone. But there are so many of them that include WAN as part of there name I don't know which one is in use for the WLAN. Any advice appreciated
Found the answer

For anyone else goto Comm Manager/Settings/Wireless LAN/change network/ Network Adapters/IEE 802.11 b/g Compatible/ Set ip and default gateway. Then /Name Servers/DNS and alt DNS (get these from gateway pc by going to a dos box and typing ipconfig /all)
I heard that you can access you Linksys router using your phone as long as you are connected to you wireless network and have web access. I have been unable to get this to work... Any ideas anyone?
Same way you would for anything, has nothing to do with the Tilt... If you're doing it from the internet, you have to turn on something which is likely called "Remote Administration" or something similar and access your internet IP address in a browser.
From the wireless network itself, just go to the router's IP address in your browser.
if you are at home and connected to your router via wi-fi just open your browser and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 (usually the default address for linksys router, otherwise look up correct address for your model). you will be prompted for user ID and password default admin:admin. this is the same way you access your router from your PC. it is also possible to access your wireless router at home when you are away by just using media net (or whoever your carrier is' data connection.) just like khaytsus says, you need to first turn on remote access while connected to your router from home.
I can connect my WLAN at home without problems. But a DHCP server is running there.
At work I have WLAN to but without DHCP server so I need to set a static IP.
So how can I set dynamic IP for WLAN at home and static IP for WLAN at work?
On Wifi settings first card I can see both WLAN (home and work). I habe tried to set "home" on "internet" and "work" on "firm" (network device setting).
On the second card I can select "internet" and "firm" as network devices. For "internet" I have selected "dynamic IP" and for "firm" it is "static IP" with the right addresses.
But if I want to connect the WLAN at work I cant get a connection. And I cant see the static IP set on network device (it shows 0.0.0.0 every time).
Any help? Have nothing found at manual und nothing here with search.
Thx & regards,
Purzel
Same here.
I have to set up a manual wlan (IP and DNS). How?
TNX
any news ?
You cannot set Static or Dynamic DNS per connection.
The WiFi adapter is either running in DHCP mode, or static IP mode.
you'll have to change it every time you connect.
When yopu went into the network card while set to internet, you set it to dynamic.
when you then went into it while set to work, you set it to static.
when you set it back to internet, it stayed at static as that was the last change you made.
there may be some third party stuff out there that will allow you to do what you want, but i don't know of any of the top of my head as i've never had to use any.
Hi.
I have a question to the network adapter settings.
At home i use a static ip to connect to WLAN. But if i try to connect to the internet via GPRS-Connection, it failed. When i set the network adapter to dynamic ip, the GPRS-Connection works. Is it right, that the GPRS-Connection use the same network adapter that i use for the WiFi ?!
Perhaps i only must change the settings and everthing is good
thx
