I'm not sure what it is, but for some reason some of the programs are not connecting to the internet on my tilt. i'm running the q-mobile tilt rom, and the only thing that is connecting to the medianet is palringo. i can't access the new w/ windows live or internet explorer. any idea what it could be?
no ideas from anyone...i know they're a boat load of phone-tech savy people here, someone has to have some kind of idea?

Hi dude
more info plz!! I didn't well undertand your problem!
Are you trying to connect by your Pravider Data Connection (GPRS/HSDPA) or by WiFi??!!
sorry, i guess i didn't say that. i did say medianet, but i sure have been a little more concise. but yes, i'm trying to connect through att wireless medianet. the weird thing is, i am connected because i am able to go online with palringo and talk w/ contacts on aim, but IE doesn't work, windows live doesn't work either. i went through and changed some of the settings in media net per attwireless support forum, i'm looking for the proxy cab to download as it isn't on my phone, this could be the fix for it...but i highly doubt it because the internet was working on my phone just fine for the first week or so after i installed my ROM. now it just wont connect anymore, and i know i didn't do anything except uninstall solitaire and a few other games
ok...not much progress, but i guess this is a start. instead of getting an error message when i try to open a page w/ IE, in the status bar it says "Locating..." "Opening...", "0 Kb"...then it just stops, and nothing loads up. I'm stumped

First of all sorry, but i'm not American, so correct me if i'm wrong: "ATT Wireless" is your Phone Provider, right? and you are trying to connect to internet using the Provider Data Connection and not Wi-Fi, e.g. through your home router (Wi-Fi = Wireless but not "ATT Wireless", names coincidence!!! ), right? if this is correct, you didn't answer me to the above-mentioned question (using Provider Data or Wi-Fi??)!!
So try to set this Windows options:
Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -> Networks Selection -> than select in the two options your Internet Provider service, more ,if you need, under the both tweak keys you can edit it, like proxy settings!
Hope to well undertand your problem!
Umm...i did answer your question, i did say it was attwireless. I'm guessing you're not familiar with NA cell phone providers, which i'm sorry we missed, but i did answer the question. No need for the rolling of eyes. But yes, as i said in some posts earlier, i did change those settings already as per the attwireless support forum on their website. But its still not working.

...ok, we misunderstanding, or better,i didn't well understand you!
However give a look here , maybe it helps you!
Ciao
its ok, no problem at all. thanx for the link but that didnt' work either.i really dont know whats going on with my phone, the internet worked flawlessly for the first 2 weeks i had my phone, then it just stopped working yesterday. well, it stopped working for every other program except for palringo, and i'm almost certain that it is not sms based, so i dont understand why that would work, and not other programs.
UPDATE:
ok, so i tried using the media new gprs connection with my 8125, same situation. i'm not sure what on earth it could be, but w/e it is, i can use palingro and aim pocket pc on my tilt, but i just can't get any data from web or anything else. go figure. i think i'm just gonna let give it up for the day, i've been working on it for 8 hours. maybe take a look at it again this weekend, i dont HAVE to have the net until monday, but even then i can still use wifi until i get this sorted out.
ok, so it looks like just about everything is working now on my phone except internet explorer while connected to the AT&T wireless EDGE/3G connection. I can download the maps while connected to Windows Live GPS, i'm able to sign on and chat while using agile messenger, i can download emails on the go with my outlook mailbox.
The only thing that is giving me a problem still is internet explorer/opera mobile. Anytime i type in a page it says "locating...", "opening..." "0 KB" while using IE then it just stops there and doesn't load a thing, and when using opera is says no connection detected. Anybody know what this could be? I dont see anywhere in IE or opera where you can change browser settings as far as connectivity...
very similar problem
Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem. I have an HTC TYTN II unlocked. It has worked beautifully for a couple of months and suddenly PIE would not work. It says Connecting...Locating...Opening and then hangs in there for a while until it error outs with "the connection has been lost"
I'm on T-Mobile full internet plan. The ROM is original stock ROM (UK). Curiously, the "push" emails continues to work, but PIE does not. I can't login to Live messenger either.
I have reset the phone to factory settings to no avail. I have called T-Mobile and they say my account is okay.
Any idea? This is really weird.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
elkavayo, where are you located? I am having the same problem today & I am in south florida. I just got off the phone with a T-Mobile tech & he tried something and said it appeared to be a network problem - not a phone issue. Wi-fi is working fine.
weebo523
I'm located in South Florida too, Miami to be precise. Those were my thoughts initially, but I called T-Mobile and they told me that there were no outages or network problems. This has been happening to me since Wednesday 8:00 AM.
Additionally, I swap SIMs with a friend, who also have T-Mobile, and configured his phone (HTC Touch unlocked) to use T-Mo full internet and it worked on his phone with my account!
My wide and daughter (Dash and T-Mo SDA) can also connect to thye net normally with their phones, so I don't think it is the service. Mine doesn't work with neither full nor T-zones. It does work with Wi-Fi though.
The mystery continues... thanksfor sharing your story. Hopefully we'll find a "cure" soon. I've beenthinking about "upgrading" to 6.1.....
i have the same problem with an unlocked Tilt running on my Rogers network.
all my messaging apps work but not Internet Explorer.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale and just had the same problem .. I have TWO 8525's (TyTn) on T-Mobile and also a Wing with T-Mobile, whats weird, is that both 8525's are having the problem, whereas the Wing is working fine.
There is definately an issue right now with South Florida and t-mobile.
elkavayo & vr24, this is strange. It seems to be happening exclusively to the Tilt / TyTn & in South Florida with one Rogers. And it seems like very few of us have the problem. I am usually pretty good at trouble shooting but this has me stumped.
totally, I have tried tons of settings, everything I can come up with, used their Data Configurator, I've tried 3 different ROMs, including Win Mo 6.1, and even on the TyTn forum, people with the 8525 in other parts of the country aren't having the issue.
It's really messed up, and as I said, my Wing works fine, lol... but I want my TyTn as the wing is having other malfunctions. the only problem is, how can you argue it's the network when one phone works and the other doesn't. there is SOMETHING that changed on the network though that is not accepting something with the tytn, in just our area, lol.. obviously. Just no idea what it is.
vr24 - at least you saved me the trouble of trying different ROMs, which I was just about to do I did try going to a backup with no luck. Do you think that something could have gone bad in the phone that connects us through GPRS?
I guess I will have to sleep on this for now. Hope you or someone figures this out while I'm sleeping - VBG
Lol... don't count on me too much to figure this one out. It's quite the nightmare really. And it's a shame. I just purchased my 2 Hermes and was thrilled to have them and they were working, now I have very expensive bricks basically!!!
Anyways, help would be awesome to anyone out there willing to continue troubleshooting this.
Well I have some "good" news... I'll be heading from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles this coming Wednesday, if we don't get it sorted out by then, and this magically works on the West Coast, I'm jam t-mobiles balls into a vice grip until they fix it. I'm REAL curious to see if it makes any difference.
Hi Guys,
Just bought that wifi robot Skypee. Excellent piece of kit. But was just wondering if anyone has heard of or can develop software so I can control it through my Diamond (or any windows mobilke based phone).
Just posting it in Diamond section as I own one but I am sure that Spykee users will have other mobile devices whether it be windows platform or not.
Any coments suggestions welcome.
Had a quick search on google but could not find anything (yet).
anybody?
BUMP!
Just bumping this thread to get noticed.
So, I am assuming nobody has found a way to do this.
Never mind. I am sure many of you may get a spykee this xmas and maybe then the devlopments will start (hopefully)!
I didn't thinkt you could buy Spykee yet. Where have you bought it???
cool gadget!

alrite mate,
i bought mine few weeks back from costco in birmingham. it cost me £115 inc vat! but i heard they were going for £99 on amazon inc delivery! dont know if they still available though.
only thing that is a ***** about spykee is building it. it comes with about 1000 pieces. it took me about 6 hours in total to build it!!!
but its worth it! its really a great "spy" robot and the voip funtionaility is overrated as skype is not supported (yet anyway). but good thing about it is that firmware can be upgraded and additional programs for robot can be written in future!
just waiting for a windows mobile based gui application to control it! then it will be awesome
I just got a Spykee for Xmas, My girlfriend paid 175 quid and that was the cheapest price a few months back as they were all 199.
Im gutted to see it for 99 quid now but thats just the way things go!!
I would love to control it from my xperia.
There is an SDK for the Spykee and I might even try and develop some software myself depending on what language its for.
Shame about the price, I could have had 2 and used one to build an Ed209 from robocop or a Johnny 5 from short circuit.
It took me about 2 hours to build, if that! How the hell did it take you 6 hours?
I did have trouble with the stupid fiber optics though as they kept falling out but it was easier to just put them in last!!
lol

lol, 2 hours not bad! it took me that long to build the backbone lol! well6 hours was an average time over 3 days. did not have time to spend whole day on it but i suppose if u got experience with meccano or are good with building things like this then it would be good. i just wish the robot could build itself out the box lol!
I cant wait for applications\firmware for this to come out! will be excellent! my nephews love connecting to it from the other side of the world and playing\chasing\talking to my son via spykee! Great!
crazydiamond, you talk of an sdk being released? is it out yet? i last checked the website few days back and it was not out. will have a quick search again after i posted and if i cant find it will try and ask the question here again.
but i am glad to hear that i am not the only one wanting an application to control spykee from a WM based handset! will be very interesting to see one!
Have fun merry xmas and happy new year to all!
Apparently there is an SDK coming out soon, as spykee was advetised as having one I thought there was already one to download!
Another shameless marketing trick!
There is a guy called Jimfx on www.spykee.org who has deleloped his own GUI in Delphi and it works really well.
You can even change the speed to make Spykee a lot slower.
Give it time and someone will release some source code for us to play with.
I am quite dissapointed with spykee if I am honest.
I have had nothing but trouble with remote connection setup and have had to change my router settings because Spykee would not see my router unless it was broadcasting the SSID!
I still cannot get my friends to connect! Have forwarded every port and updated firmware on the router.
It needs an update and a web interface and some better documentation.
I expected so much more, and the intruder detection is not as advertised either.
I will keep you posted mate on any, if any, code appears for Spykee Devs
All the best and Merry Crimbo

yeah i had trouble setting up remote connection. but make sure you have changed the default admin password for spykee from password (default) to whatever you want. also, it is better to have a static ip address assigned to spykee so that it functions correctly.
its true about the false marketing about spykee but hey, i know this can be more of a robot than meccano have advertised it as because once custom apps for the robot can be made...well lets just say we will 'flash' spykee just as we 'flash' our mobile devices....to get more functionailty out of them than the manufacturers initially permitted!
Thanks for your reply and Help.
I have already assigned a static ip to spykee and tried Mac filtering on/off, broadcast ssid on/off, WEP on/off etc etc and still no luck.
Its starting to piss me off, The robot is not responding to anything.
The battery lasts a few minutes before it says it needs to re dock! Even on a full charge it says it needs to re dock.
So annoying. It looses connection in Local mode or Ad-hoc and none of the features work that are supposed too either.
I have already emailed play for a refund but it was bought before their 28 day stupid returns policy. Even though I only opened it on Xmas Morning.
Looks like I will be taking them to court.
Hi CrazyDiamond,
In order to be able to connect to Spykee from the internet, you have to follows
these steps ( and it works really good)-- I will use example data to make thing easy.
- Create a user other than admin on the console application
( MyUser / MyPassword)
- Register your Spykee on http://www.spykeeworld.com/spykee/US/index.html and select register. ( Give a name to your robot and a password -- carefull, this is case sensitive)
( MyRobot / MyRobotPassword)
- Still in the console, in My Spykee tab, put EXACTLY the name ( case sensitive) and the password you registered in spykeeworld. Note the ip adress you have here.
( MyRobot / MyRobotPassword). The ip shown: 192.168.1.1)
- Go to the remote connection tab and check 'Authorize remote access' then put a port number.
( 12345)
- On your router you need to do port forwarding to Spykee ip address and use as SOURCE and DESTINATION the port number you did put on the console application.
( source port: 12345 destination port: 12345 destination ip: 192.168.1.1 )
That's all.
Now to connect to your Spykee, click on the connection icon. Select Remote robot and put the exact name you used to register spykee ( case sensitive).
( MyRobot)
Then when the password is requested, use the account you create on the console (not the admin one).
(MyUser/MyPassword)
Then it should work.
Regarding the battery which the console says it is empty. This is a bug on the console application. Just don't take in account this message and you will see that you can use your Spykee for hours.
Regarding the documentation, it sucks!
Regarding the SDK, this is not yet available and I hope it will be soon...
Yes the last note, your Spykee should bip 3 times when you turn it on, which means it did
connect to your wifi access point.
I hope it helped.

Drack thats great man! Its a better guide than I could even think of. I wish I had a straight forward step by step guide when I was trying to configure mine out!!!!
i am sure this will help newbies of spykee!
CrazyDiamond, have you ironed out the issues with ur spykee? personally i think there is something wrong with its wifi broadcasting capabilities but hey im no expert. let us know how you get\got on
Hi, sorry for late reply, I was without Spykee as I sent him back for refund.
My spykees power issues were not software bug related, he eventually would not even activate when clicking "click to activate" Thing was driving me crazy so I sent him back and got my 184 quid back.
Bought another one for 94 quid from Gizoo and just build him and finished setting him up.
Drack, Nice guide, I appreciate your help although there was nothing there that I didn't already do correctly in the first place.
I still cannot connect remotely, I think it is down to my Router but I really do not know for sure.
I am a bit of a Computer Wizard and have been for the past 15 years, Solved 100's of PC hardware related and software related problems but cannot get a stupid robot that has age 8 written on it!! lol gotta laugh really.
Im sure my router is forwarding the ports correctly as I even checked the ports were open, completely removed all my security, firewalls and made sure He has his own IP assigned and still no luck.
Think I will convert him into an Ed209 or Johnny5 and wait for a firmware update if a new router does not work.
Cheers guys and Happy new year.
WooHoo, He is alive, Johnny 5 is alive!!! Well spykee is but you know they look the same.
I didn't test the new robot from a remote computer as it didn't work with the first one I had on the same settings.
I tested it with a local computer using remote connection as it specified in the manual.
This did connect for about 2 seconds and then just disconnected. Same thing as with first robot.
Wasn't even gonna bother testing from a remote Computer but decided as my friend had the software and was online at the time I would ask.
To my supprise, He connected! Still cant connect remotely from a local pc but thats only to test it anyway.
So happy He works. If anyone else has the same problem as I have had then make sure you try it from a remote PC, even if it doesn't connect as instructed in the manual.
It is so much fun to have someone drive him round
Strange!
Hi CrazyDiamond,
Your problem is really strange...especially the fact that you can't connect remotely from your local pc while a friend of you can connect remotely from his computer...
this could be that you have a kind of network problem. Check if you dhcp server is
correctly configured (if you can force an ip address for a specific mac address then do it for your robot, so it ensure that you will get anytime the same ip address...)...because if you don't then your port forwarding will not work correctly...this is stupid they didn't allow a fix ip address for the robot

Hi Drack, I already have the router Mac filtered and also already assigned a specific IP to Spykee by adding his Mac into the routers config.
Its all working fine apart from connection to a remote robot from local pc. This is not a problem as when I am home I connect too him locally and when I am at work I connect remotely.
It cant be the PC I am using as I have tried 2, One connected with wifi running xp pro sp3 and the other is connected via patch cable directly too the router, thats running Vista Ultimate 64.
The software is buggy using Vista64 and does tell me the battery needs charging etc.
Thanks for your advise, If I was unable to fix the problems myself then your advise would have been a blessing and I would have solved it.
Hope this thread helps others with problems.
By the way, Spykee is the nuts and I have had so much fun. Cant wait to Mod him and get the SDK.
Sdk is coming...
Hi CrazyDiamond,
Your problem is really strange but as soon as you can connect remotely from outside, and locally, this is no more a real problem.
For the battery I have exactly the same problem under XP, it tells the battery is empty after 5mn of run. It seems to be a bug in the software...
For the SDK, I emailed the support and they told me that they apologize to be late, but that the SDK should be available very soon ( this month).
I hope now that they will be hardware addon for Spykee...maybe Mecanno/Erector will provide new add on devices in the future...or why would they have use an usb connector??
cheers,

Seconded on this. Had the same issue on my first try (and I've rooted about every device Ive ever owned) and xboxexperts tut's definitely helped.
I had that problem and had to register the unit with BN, search and you can find out how to reregister it with BN. I read somewhere where you can register with BN if you had this problem. try this link

This isn't the Q&A section or general section.
Apply your question(s) in the proper sub-forum, cause you picked the wrong one.
Posting in the wrong forum might result in a temporary vacation
xboxexpert, I have run your script (couldn't find any other tutorials amongst your posts, where are they?) and it installed a lot of fun stuff. But unfortunately I still have the same error on Android Market (Server unavailable. Please try again later.). But the Live Wallpapers work now, so thank you for that! I could never get those to work on the regular Nootering.
secfincorp, does that matter for the Android Market? I reran the wizard and it's already registered (I did that before the Auto Nootering, as you're supposed to do according to the instructions on Nootering). You sure you're not thinking about the Barnes & Noble bookstore instead of the Market? That doesn't work here anyway, only in the US.
Mikey1022, your colleague moved it after you closed it. But I would still say this is relevant for the Android development because it is a part of the Nootering process that doesn't work for everybody (I have seen others asking about the same thing in the Nootering thread, but the overwhelming lack of answers have made the others give up, it seems).
SOLVED!!!!
At least for the Nooks part. It's something with my ISP that blocks the market. Gonna have to call them and find out what it is. I tried going outside the house firewall and got nowhere. Then I took it with me up in my family's small zoo shop, and it just worked at once! So there is something at the ISP level that's blocking me.
I'm sure it will be a walk in the park to find out that from the ISP's army of well trained technical experts...not! Gonna have to deal with underpaid idiots reading from a flow chart again. "Have you remembered to plug in your DSL modem? Have you tried to reset your modem? Do you have any cables connected to the modem that were not supplied by us?"

Nope, it's not. I have a three tier system:

2: ...the Linux M0n0wall firewall controls the DSL connection. And I do of course have full control over the firewall in the M0n0wall, and even turning that completely off doesn't help. The M0n0wall connects...
3. ...to a Windows 2003 Server that is the main house server, and the firewall on RAS is disabled. Then a WLAN router (Netgear with DD-WRT Linux firmware) is connected to the server, and it gives wifi access to everything mobile and portable in the house. That's connected as a pure access point, with the WAN port configured as a LAN port and the firewall turned off.
That means that disabling the firewall protection on the M0n0wall turns off all kinds of firewall protection in the house, and I have tried that. I even tried connecting another wifi router as an access point directly to the M0n0wall, bypassing the Windows Server, and that did not change anything either. So I'm very sure this is a problem at my ISP.
OK. So you know what you're doing. Just making sure. Some folks don't know anything about routers except how to plug them in.
I'm on a pair of DD-WRT routers myself (one bridged). I got tired of screwing with firewall port forwarding for PC games, Tivo, Xbox live, ipods, etc... now I leave the hardware firewall off, and just use the firewalls on the Windows boxes.
Yeah, I sort of know what I'm doing... Been working with computers for almost 25 years, so all the way up from DOS 3. And that makes it even more frustrating when I'm stuck on a simple thing like getting Android Market to work!
I actually have two DD-WRT routers in the house too, one Netgear that I use for the in house use and one Buffalo that's connected before the Windows Server to share my Internet connection with a neighbour. And then I have a Buffalo up in the shop, which in addition to giving wifi access also is set up as an always on VPN tunnell from the shop to the house. You can say that my system is a bit overkill for somebody who doesn't run a semibig company, but it's fun! And it's so stable with the hardware and software I've got running on it that you'd have to shoot it with a shotgun to get it to crash!
Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

Like the title says my Wifi will not connect to my router at home, but works everywhere else..
I have a Linksys wireless-n router. I put in the password and it automatically says that it is remembered but not in range. Any ideas on how this could have happened? Any possible solutions?
I don't know about the wifi stuff too much, but I have seen reference to people changing from channel 11 (std factory setting) to channel 4 for example. Dunno if that helps. Good luck.

How does one do this? I've looked but couldn't find any directions.

you start with your router's IP address. if you don't know it, go to your command prompt and type "ipconfig" to figure out your router's IP address. Type the IP address into your internet browser to change the channel.
OK I'll try it later on tonight.
Go to google and type "linksys wireless n router change wireless channel" and select the first option you get (should take you to howtogeek.com)
Scroll down past the download it ask you to do and get to where it states Changing your wireless channel. Its pretty easy to do once you walk through that.
Does it only happen on the touchpad, or is it all devices?
It only happens with android (CM7 and CM9), web os is fine.
There has been issues with the wifi. I am running the bricked CM9 install myself and the wifi works just fine. Have you wiped the cache and all during install?
Seems that someone has posted a thread in the touchpad area concerning this same issue, thread will probably be moved once a mod gets a hold of it, but here is a link to it:

ssid
Make sure you are broadcasting your ssid as android devices cannot see hidden networks, so you end up with "not in range" when you try to connect
I got it to work kinda. I have to leave and go out of range, them come back for it to work.
Does WPA2 broadcast the ssid?
There is an app in the Market labeled something like 'WiFi Fix' that 'helps' this issues as well. If I had my TP in front of me I'd get you the exact name, or if the Market would track free apps between devices like Amazon does, but I digress...
I use the word 'help' loosely above because the 'fix' wipes out all your wireless settings. It deletes all the profiles, etc. So after re-entering the keys you'll get right back on the wifi, but this is somewhat painful after every single time it goes to sleep...
Anyway, consider it an option, semi-viable at least.
If you can see your wireless in the list of available networks it is broadcasting the SSID.
I guess I'll just go for a stroll whenever my touchpad needs a restart. thanks for the help.

I'd be going for lots of walks. Mine lasts for less than 5 minutes -- assuming it connects.
For the TouchPad, it seems the only thing that truly works is a wide open connection without authentication or encryption. People have had varying amounts of success, but I cannot get it to connect to my work's WPA2 Enterprise or anything above WPA at my house...
There's a couple of threads going on in the Development forum where they've basically said that Wifi for the TouchPad sucks and is in a major need of (re)working in order to get it right. The current ar6000 driver isn't cutting it and the ath6kl driver + wpa_supplicant are not Android complaint.
Someone has a kang (CherryKANG) with a supposed wifi driver fix, but if you look at what he supposedly built into his ROM vs. what is getting loaded, you can see it's not really there. (The link everyone points to is the new ath6kl driver, but if you look after flashing it's still running ar6000.)
I build a ROM with the ath6kl driver in place and it looked to work better for about 30 seconds. But you can tell it doesn't like to cooperate with Android too well at the moment. Makes me wish I was a hardware expert so I can rewrite the thing and make it work.
I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue since I can boot into WebOS and be find on ANY of the networks I normally connect to...
