I have BELKIN broadband router (Irish Eircom broadband). Is it possible to connect XDA IIi (alpine) to this router through WiFi connection??? If Yes - Help me!
Yes it is. If the router is on the default settings you just need to touch the antrenna symbol at the bottom of the Today screen, then the green square at the bottom right, then the WLAN box and turn on WLAN.
Does anyone have a guide on how to setup a secure connection between PC & Phone on WI-FI?
It's baffling the heck out of me!

Depends on the router, what ya got?
I dont have a router, I have a WI-FI PCI card and my router is conected via ethernet
So you are trying to set up an ad-hoc connection.
You need to set your wireless on both the computer and the PDA to ad-hoc.
To do this on the PC depends on your operating system and device. Set up your wireless connection on the PC first making sure it is set up as an ad-hoc network.
On your XDAIIi Start>Settings>Connections Tab>Network Cards
You should see the network you have set up on the PC, make sure the ad-hoc box is ticked and connect to it.
You may have to set the TCP/IP settings manually. If you have a problem with doing that post up what you have done and how far you have got.
Yes, I'v got a connection! But NetFront_v3.2 says "Cannot read page." So, i can not surf Internet.

Do you have the DHCP server turned on on the router?
Yes1 DHCP server IS turned on on the router.
OK, when you are connected and you click on the Wi-Fi icon on the bottom of the screen, does the network address match that of the router or has it set a default one?
Internet Connection Sharing
Depeding on your OS (is it windows/linux etc.) you'll nmeed to set up some form of proxy server or other packet forwarding to persuade the machine to accept packets on the WiFi card and to forward them to the Internet.
If you are using XP (or from memory 2K) you can switch on Internet connection sharing, follow the wizard and then browse to your hearts content.

Hi,
I also have a laptop with build-in Wifi and a qtek 2020i. I've shared the lan connection on the laptop and created a wirelles network. The laptop and qtek 2020i see each other but i can't surf on the qtek. i have windows XP.
The ip address on the qtek is fixed by default and is supposed to be 192. etc i read somewhere...
I use a modem/routeur (thomson 530) on which the laptop is connected (lan).
Could you please explain me how should i setup or manuallay choose the ip on my qtek?
Many thanks
john

Hi Guys,
This is starting to get confused - there are two types of connection being set up here: -
Firstly a cabled connection between the PC and the router with a wireless card in the PC. in this instance you need to forward the packets from the wireless card to the ethernet card and then onto the router.
In this case, if you are using Windows 2K or XP use the Internet connection sharing wizard, this will then enable packet forwarding on your PC, with a "DHCP server" (not fully functional) on the wireless card, when you establish the Ad Hoc (set exactly the same SSID on both cards - remember it's case sensitive and that should be all you need for Ad-Hoc) wireless connection between the 2020i and the PC you should then find that you are assigned an IP address (192.168.0.x is the default from memory). You should then have the IP address of the Wireless Interface Card on the PC set as your default gateway and DNS server - you need each of these entries in order to able to connect to the Internet.
If you want to secure this connection, you can use WEP (40 bit or 128 bit Same Key same position on both SSID configs), though remember that if a sniffer collects about 300K packets, it is possible to use AirCrack to regain the wep key - paranoid but true.
If you have a wireless gateway, this should (in all probability) already have a DHCP service up and running on it (it's probably giving your PC all of the IP settings it needs) so all you should need is to establish a connection between these two devices. Switch wireless on on the 2020 and you should be prompted with a message box saying Your_SSID connects you to and offer you work and Internet, select Internet if there is a WEP key or other form of encryption enabled you will be prompted for a key. In theory you will have set all of this up on the router in the first place so probably have some idea of what you are doing.
Hope this helps, if not feel free to throw abuse.
Kind Regards
Dave
try this link:

I tried it last night and it got it working in about 5 minutes!! was well pleased . I'm using the infrastructure mode, got a XDAIIi and a D-Link G604T. I dont have any authentication setup, the only thing I use is the MAC based access list, so I had to add the XDA MAC into the router access list and for the rest I followed what the above link said.
Tip: make sure you do a reset for the settings to take effect, did'nt realise thats why it took me five minutes!
hiya... sorry to bug anyone about this... but i have a problem logging on wifi connection on my Xda IIi...
using a dell TrueMobile 2300 wireless router...
(( i got a stinking feeling i might not able to do this.. cos been trying the last 4 hours and i just recalled whenever a com wants to link up with this router.. that com have to go thru it's Cd to Authz it first.. . ))
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
WPA WiFi connection
The only secure WiFi connection I can use on my XDA IIi is via WEP. For some unknown reason I cannot connect using WPA.
Any ideas...
Hi all, I have a weird problem.
I have a tilt and am using the HTC rom, I connect to wifi in my apartment and 3G or HSDPA when I leave the apartment.
When I'm connected through wifi, my Slingplayer works flawlessly, finds my slingbox, and plays the video. When I try to connect outside using 3G/HSDPA, I get "Cannot connect with current connection settings"
I know the Slingbox is working correctly because I can connect to it through a desktop PC without a problem, and I know that the 3G works fine on my tilt because I have no problem loading websites, using mundi, etc.
Any ideas? I've seen a couple other posts on other forums with the same problem but there were no responses on them.
Thanks!
Can you connect to anything else when on 3G?
Try your proxy settings
Did you change the default ports on the SlingBox config?
Are those ports (default or modified) open from the outside of your firewall/router?
If you have the ability to monitor inbound connections try monitoring while you connect through 3G and see if your device attempts on the correct port and that it is NATed to the correct IP and port.

I had exactly the same problem with my Belkin router. You need to set up a port on your router in order for it to work. I know on mine it involved setting up a virtual server.
I am using the TyTN II and I am having the same exact problems. I think AT&T killed access to slingbox somehow. I can surf the internet just fine, and then as soon as I start the slingplayer, my connection gets lost and my phone says "cannot sonnect with current connection settings." Any help would be appreciated, especially with the World Series coming up this week.

Possibly a silly point but can you definitely connect over the internet to it? Or just over your LAN?
There's a wizard that enables the port forwarding for you - (called Remote Viewing or something?) should be with the software for the slingbox.
Could be that your desktop is just going direct over the LAN?
Also, I had problems when I was just using the automatic settings to configure the box - in the end it works far better if you ignore the UPnP stuff, and use the manual setup process (or so I found). Again, the desktop software wizard steps you through this.
If you can connect over wifi at home, but not over wifi or 3g when away, then unless AT&T are blocking the ports, its more likely your router settings, as at home you are inside your LAN but elsewhere you have to go through your routers hardware firewall.
Just have a look at slingbox's help files.
SlingBox works fine on AT&T. Check your proxy settings on the phone. Try the "remove hidden proxy" cab. The home router also needs an outgoing port defined as well. Good Luck, I know it can work.
I will bet that it's your router/firewall blocking the incoming net traffic. Try connecting to it from a Friend's internet connection or a public computer at the library or something.
Had a similar problem with slingplayer mobile on my new HTC TouchPro- phone from Vodafone but I put in my T-mobile SIM as I wanted to keep the Web and walk.
Slingplayer worked fine from Vario3 with same sim but not from TouchPro. Eventually unticked the use proxy server in the connection settings and it started to work. Weird, as on the Vario the proxy box is ticked and it works.
Anyway, worth trying if anyone else is having problems.
One of two things, either you have not port fowarded your router to allow the Slingbox to be remotly viewed, go to portfoward.com for exact instructions for your specific router, or your hidden proxy is messing with it. More than likley its not port fowarded correctly. BTW...when your in your home network, i.e... using WiFi, it will work without the router being fwded because your slingbox is already inside your home network. When coming from the outside of your home network through 3g or whatever your router has to allow access to the slingbox.
Hello,
does someone use a VPN software on the Kaiser ?
Wich one ?
I tried several but none worked.
My Kaiser is using the built in VPN client, to VPN into two different Microsoft RRAS networks using PPTP and IPSec/L2TP.
What problems are you experiencing? What type of networks are you trying to VPN into?
Thanks a lot for your answer !
I didn't know the Kaiser had a VPN client included ...
Where is the application ? What's its name ?
Is there a documentation I can find somewhere to help me to configure it ?
The other thing is that I use a SecurID password to connect to my corporate network, I don't know if this can work also with the Kaiser VPN.
In fact I would like to connect to my corporate network wich accepts both IPSec/UDP and IPSec/TCP. All I know is that I need a Cisco compatible VPN application.
I tried "AnthaVPN", it connects to our Cisco server, but then it disconnects after a few "Time Out" errors.
Thanks again for your help !
I would be interested in this too... we use Cisco at work using Cisco ipsec/udp but no idea how to set this up on the phone
Finally I've found how to use the buit in VPN, but it still does not work for me, because of the SecurID password I think (it says my login/password may be incorrect).
Here is how to access to the built in VPN (my device is french, I translate it to english but I'm not sure the names will be the same on english devices):
parameters/connections -> choose the "Connections" icon.
Then choose "Modify/Configure my VPN servers"
After you filled everything there, choose "Manage existing connections".
At the bottom of the screen, choose "VPN". The VPN connection you made should appear here.
Put your stylus on it until the options "delete" and "connect to" appears.
Select "connect to" and then you should be connected to your network.
I hope this helped.
So finally, I am still searching for a VPN application wich would work with SECURID passwords.
Does someone know one ?
Cisco VPN Help Required
Even my office uses a Cisco PIX Firewall with VPN. Even i have tried many softwares, but nothing seems to work. I thik it is because of the 2 phase authentication of the Cisco VPN.
Also just for info, we use IPSec over UDP (NAT/PAT)
How to set this up in my KAISER?
Hello to all
Im using AnthaVPN and it's work great with Cisco VPN Concentrator System in my KAISER. There must be also a way to connect to a pix.

Like I said, I tried this one, but it did not work with SecurID keys.
I also had a problem with it related to the WIFI :
when I tried to use it with WIFI enabled, if I wanted then to disable the WIFI, it was impossible, even after a soft reset. I had to deinstall AnthaVPN to be able to disable the WIFI.
So finally I think the built-in VPN is better than AnthaVPN because I had no WIFI issue with it.
I have read the manual from the Homepage AnthaVPN and for me its OK. But i haven't testet over wifi. Over GPRS works great.
i'm using the Bluefire VPN CLient (www.bluefiresecurity.com) to connect to my university's vpn (cisco) and it's working great.
with AnthaVPN i was not able to disconnect wifi anymore (phone would hang up -> soft reset -> wifi on again), don't know if they fixed this till now
So I was not alone to have wifi problems with AnthaVPN !
Finally I tried Bluefire VPN, it works a lot better than AnthaVPN (no more wifi problems !), I can go upto the SecurID login, but after that, at "Phase 2", I have an error code talking about IPSec parameters...
So I still have problems but now I know that Bluefire is working with securid keys.
My wifi router is old. It's running with 802.11b. My TD can connect to the router. It gets IP, but cannot access to the Internet. When I use my TD to connect to other network which is running on 802.11g, it works fine. Do you have any idea? I am using ROM 1.93.456.2.
I do not think it is the 11b issue. Since the TD can get the IP address with the 11b router. It means the wireless link is fine. Please check your route configuration. Especially the default gateway and the DNS settings.
My laptop is working fine with the router. One more thing is that although TD has IP, when I try to connect to http://192.168.1.1, it just does not work.

What are your other setting? Connected through internet or work and so on?
When you setup the connection on the TD, make sure to use the "internet" option. Proxy should be disbled unless you have proxy set on your home router.
Also on your laptop, try to ping the TD. It should work at the first place.
I set to connect to The Internet on TD. And when I ping, the IP of TD cannot be reached.
I've been running 6.1 ROM (Official) now for a month or so and am using a program on my Tilt that uses a lot of data...so while I'm at home I thought I would allow it to use my WiFi router instead of my 3G connection.
I turned on the WiFi and it can "see" my router's SSID. I enter the WPA-TKIP passcode and tell it to connect. It just sits there saying "connecting to network" but never completes the connection to acquire it's IP.
I have even gone as far as setting the IP configuration manually (Static IP) and the TILT keeps trying to connect to the network.
I have a DLink DI-624 that I have had no problems connecting the WiFi when I was running ROM 6.0.
I have done the following in trying to troubleshoot:
- Turned OFF Turbo on the Router
- Configured router for AutoChannel
- Configured TILT for Best Performance
- Rebooted Router AND TILT.
Still no go...Ideas?
I sometimes get this after flashing a new rom. It seems to affect the way it connects to WPA networks but not WEP or unsecured.
You can try changing your security to WEP and see if that works.
But when I need to solve this I usually have to do a Hard Reset and then connect the WIFI first. When it does this the phone seems to be able to auto-detect the network type (i.e without me needing to select it as WPA) and after entering the passcode it can connect.
Yep, go to WEP, this should be enough for most people and has never given me a problem.

Unfortunately I can't change my network to WEP. My network is not only my home network but also used for my wife's business...so for security reasons I have to keep the security up.
Drop the security just for a test and see what happens.
I am using the official ATT 6.1 ROM and it works just fine on my wifi, first with WPA-PSK then with WPA2-PSK. You could set your WAP to WEP (say that fast 3 times!) for a 5 minute test and see if it connects. Does your phone connect to other Wifi hot spots? What does ministumbler say about wifi in your area? You may have some interference with a neighbors wifi.
Well...I know that my issue is not limited to my router at home (DLink DI-624). I'm experiencing the SAME issues at work as well.
At work I'm using a NetGear WGT624 v3.
- The security is WPA-PSK (TKIP)...just like at home.
- Broadcasting SSID on Channel 11 (Fixed). There are no routers in nearby offices (I've checked using a wifi scanner on my laptop).
- I've configured a static IP in my Tilt and it just sits there at Connecting...again same as what happens at my house.
- I have also tried using DHCP with no joy.
I'll try the WEP at home to see if it's a WEP/WPA issue.
Unfortunately if it IS an issue...I don't think I'm going to get much joy from HTC on releasing a fix. Maybe there will be some way around it though...I hope!
Make sure you use the correct authentication: Use Smart Card or Certificate. That fixed mine

Here is what I have set in my TILT...
Connects to: The Internet
Hidden network: NOT checked
Ad-Hoc: Unselectable (Grey)
Auth: WPA-PSK
Encry: TKIP
Use IEEE: Grey (Non-Selectable)
EAP: Grey (Non-Selectable...but Smartcard or Certificate IS in the box)
(Still at work...will test WEP when I get home)
(I'm home)
Ok...Now I know for SURE that this is a WPA issue with the TILT running the AT&T ROM 6.1 (Official).
I changed my home router from WPA-PSK (TKIP) to WEP.
Made the needed changes in my TILT to change it from WPA to WEP and entered the correct key.
* IT CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER! Whoo Hoo.
I change nothing in the router except from WEP back to WPA and again I'm stuck at "connecting" on the TILT.
Ideas?
At least you know
And Knowing Is Half The Battle

Is a backing up everything and doing a hard reset too much hassle? Make sure you connect to a WPA Wifi first before installing any other programs. Its the only way I could fix it... =/ As recommended I always do another hard reset straight after flashing a new rom now.
Hey...someone...somewhere has mentioned that there might be a WPA issue in relation to removing the AT&T Bloat. Is there anything to this? I HAVE removed my bloat on my Tilt.
I don't want to have to re-Hard my Tilt...but will if I have to...but only as last resort.
What fixed with my DI-624
I found that I had to upgrade to the newest ROM from D-Link. (I had original ROM from 5 years ago.) I found that the PSK password (using WPA2) could NOT contains shift-numbers such as $, %, #. I converted the symbols to numbers (and letters)and it works fine now. I have had no problems since.

My home router is a DI-624 Rev E. The ONLY Firmware for the E Rev is 5.00 and I'm running it.
Even though not completely secure...my WPA password is a 20 character, lower case entry...no strange characters or whatever.
*Well folks...I had just installed the 6.1 Rom onto my Tilt about a month ago...so I don't have that much installed...and I can always reload it. So I HardReset and followed by removing bloat. WPA WORKS NOW! (Insert "Twilight Zone" theme music here.)
All in all...it just seems strange to have to HARD Reset my phone to get something like this to work again.
