When ive got into the wifi settings i have an IP address and the signal is stong, so why cant it display any webpages?

In setting you must tell the XDA which card it use for internet.
Its under configure network adapter.
Internet and the you choose wifi adapter.

Hi,
can anyone take me through how to go about doing this, as I'm completely stuck.
When i got my XDA Mini s, i turned the WIFI on and it immediately recognised the router - and it has good signal strength, but when i go to connect to the internet, I can't seem to get it connected. Also, how can I see all my computers from the XDA???
I really need some help - PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!1

not connecting
when i still was running 2k3 i'd exactly the same problem, i most times solved it with resetting my phone till it got connected or goed to network cards (with wireless on) and manual connect to the netwerk there (a hundred times).......
greetings,
just got my first android phone a week ago. captivate. kicks arse. anyways ive been wondering if there is a way to 'reverse tether'. in other words share my pc internet with my phone so i dont have to use so much of my data. i dont have wifi on my pc but i have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into usb that enables connection of bluetooth devices. i was thinking maybe i could tunnel thru the bluetooth and somehow access internet thru that. wishful thinking or a possibility?
Actually what u want to do is create a adhoc network where ur computer sends out wifi via a incripted network go to network and sharing center and go to create a adhoc network u can look it up in ur help guide its differing with each operating system hoped I helped

Ad hoc eh? Been seeing ad hoc something-or-anothers in the market and whatnot and wasn't sure what it was. That would be setup within windows on mah pc correct? And then mah phone would just recognize it as an available wifi connection?

Non rooted phones can't connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
Yeah im rooted. Should have made that clear right off the bat, sorry. That being said, it IS possible then to tunnel thru the bluetooth dongle and use my pc's internet? Remember, my pc doesnt have wifi
Just cable internet. Im just looking too leech off my pc with my phone and not vice-versa.

After further investigation pdanet seems to be able to do what I seek. Is this the only/best option?

Since the PC has bluetooth, you can create a Bluetooth NAP or PAN on the PC side. This creates a "personal area network" that you can then connect to from the phone. Some bluetooth PC software supports this, some do not. Depends what your dongle supports!
right on! thanks for the reply.
i was actually trying the PAN option yesterday after discovering it via google. couldnt get it to work tho. i get stuck at the part where i have to select the service i am wanting. it says the only services available from my captivate are Active sync, Headset Gateway, Object Push, Obex File Transfer. Active Sync seemed to be the closest thing but when selected it doesnt add a shortcut in my devices like the options do so i figured it didnt work. far as i know active sync id for winmobile or something anyways so i wasnt counting on it.
Any advise from here? It's all very much appreciated.
This too must have already been covered. I'll look elsewhere.

As said before, unfortunately Android does seem to connect to Ad-Hoc networks easily.If you are running Windows 7, you can use Connectify to create a WiFi hotspot and connect through that.
The other alternate is to create an Ad-Hoc network and join that network. I have not been able to get this working correctly yet but other phones have.
The problem is that the native wpa_supplicant filters all the ad-hoc networks from the wifi network list.
You can get the patched wpa_supplicant with allows you to see all the networks here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Remember to get the 0.6.x version.
Then I believe you have to set your wifi to use a static ip to be able to connect.
The last time I tried I managed to get a connection on Froyo ROMS but no data. It just might be my settings on either ends.
excellent reply. thanks are in order here.
For closure, I ended up using connectify. Works perfectly.

Hello everybody, I've searched on the forum, but I cannot find a solution to my problem. When I try to connect my iPad or my MacBook to the internet through my SGS I cannot surf the web. I mean, I can connect to the SGS via the wifi connection but it looks like there is no internet connection.. I am on Darky 7.0 rom. Is there any kind of setting which I have to make to be able to get an internet connection? Thanks for your help
Yeah, same issue with me.

Hope somebody has a solution...
Do you have a weak signal? I noticed when my signal is weak i can connect but the internet doesn't work.
No the signal is at the maximum but there is no internet connection..
any help?
I'm also having the same problem on 7.5 and 7.6. Maybe bring this up in his thread?
Edit: Im in an area with HSDPA for data too, but when I switch to tethering via wifi or even USB, it doesn't switch to HSDPA. And it wont let me browse the net from a PC. Browsing within the phone works fine.
check your APN settings if they are correct
If my APN settings won't correct I wouldn't be able to browse from the handset itself, which I can do no problem. Its only when I tether.
I'm having a really hard time trying to connect to my WiFi at home. I can see the hotspot in the wireless networks settings, it even asks me the wep, but as soon as i type it it goes blank showing just the message "unsuccesfull" or "disconected". Anyone having/had the same problem? I can normally connect to other hotspots, it's just my home's that is driving me nutts. Could it be the router? Could it be the local netowrk provider?
Any help will be much appreciated!
I experienced this with my neighbor's router. Still no luck w/ it. Hope someone can help us. Ü

I have a problem to connect my captivate the WIFI, I scan and no network is found close by, I have done a HARD RESET and nothing worked, I wirelles at home and at work and none of these places I can connect.
My android is 2.3.5 and is unlocked.
I hope someone can help me. Sorry for any mistake of English, I am Brazilian and I know the basics of English.
I am posting a picture.
Maybe the SSID is hidden?
You might have to reload the wifi driver

Not the SSID, it fails to find any network. Please help me, since I am losing hope.
