Hi all,
Could someone please tell me why I can connet to my wireless network at home, but I can't view any web pages or download any emails on my XDA II!!
Any help would be greatly recieved!!
Cheers Guys
Works fine for me mate..
Things to check.
1) XDAII Has an ip address assigned to it within the correct subnet for your home wifi.
2) XDAII Has the correct default gateway configured which will either be your wireless access router, or another type of router you have that provides internet access.
3) That your XDAII can see the network available to it through the start, setting, connections, connections, advanced, network card bit. Make sure that you actually tell it to connect to your network too. If you can't see it and you are sure the wifi card is installed ok, make sure that you have enabled SSID broadcast on your WAP.
Let us know how you get on.
Rgds,
Rob.
rob,
what do you mean, "make sure you have sidd enabled on you wap" ??
i have beeb trying to get this to work for days..

He means..
He means that your Wireless accesspoint should have broadcast SSID enabled. If you have not intentionaly disabled it, it is most likely that it is enabled and thus not the issue. Is your wireless WEP encrypted? If it is, did the Pocketpc ask you specifically for the WEP encryption key when it found your network?

----------------------------------
I am using a XDA II. Having received a faulty 'backpack', now replaced, I am still trying to get it to connect through a Sandisk CF Wi-Fi card to a D-Link 900+ AP hanging off an Intel router and my Linux server. In desperation I connected the CF card through a PCMICA adaptor into my notebook. After tweaking the 900+ AP (using v. 2.61 firmware), I found that it liked 64kb WEP, SSID on, Channel 11, Infrastructure (not Ad Hoc), and left on fully automatic so D-Link 650 Wi-Fi card in my notebook runs at 22 Mbps, and the Sandisk card at 11 Mbps.
But does it run in the XDA II you ask? Nope! I think that Sandisk's software leaves a lot to be desired. I am using vxIPConfig and vxUtil tools to see what is what ... but to no effect. I would gladly flick the Sandisk card now I know their software is lacking.
Any clues from other users?
Driving me nuts
Sorry not to actually come up with answers, but I thought you might gather some comfort from the fact that my XDA II/Sandisk combo is driving me nuts too. You are not alone....!
First thing I did was remove the pre-installed Socket wifi s/w and install the Sandisk stuff, but although my XDA can happily see my network, it will not log on no matter what I seem to do.
Am going to review some of the other helpful posts here and try the tips and will report back......!

The CD-ROM that came with mine seems to have been designed for WinCE, and not Mobile Windows 2003 for the PPC. As a result I cannot get rid of the Sandisk 128M+WiFi CompactFlash Card settings from the 'Configure Network Adaptors' area. I have to go in via my PC and ActiveSync (3.7) and rename the two offending .dll files before the CD-ROM software removes the drivers. I manually delete the renamed .dll.old files from the XDA II.
Sandisk seem pretty useless. I let them know of these problems and the link they gave me was to the straight wireless LAN card ... That didn't work, so go figure!
I am told the Sockets drivers out of the UK are better (for basically the same card), however, their FTP site does not work .. some say it hasn't worked since April 2004. More useless information, except that their docs. leave Sandisk for dead!
I keep wondering what the so-called 'Zero Configuration' tools that are supposed to be part of Mobile Windows 2003 actually do? I just can't see why the Sandisk card works with my D-Link DWL-900AP+ (802.11b/g) and with my ancient Airport access points on my notebook, but not on the XDA II on the rare occasions that I get the blinking green light (very rare and I don't know why???). <sigh!>
Hi Guys,
I know that this has come up time and time again, but I've searched the existing threads and I can't see anything to help me, so I'm posting this one.
I've just got a SD wifi card, and am trying to attach it to my
d-link router. I've loaded the latest driver from SD, but it's not picking up any signal at all from the router. It's sitting about 6 inches away, so it should be pick something.
Any ideas? Configs etc??
Cheers - James
So....I downloaded the PocketWinc and I can now see the signal strength of the router, and when I try to connect, it tells me that the server has not allocated an IP address.
Any ideas on how I resolve this?? I'm not a techie, so any help would be very appreciated.
Do you have encryption on the router? The Sandisk card can't handle WPA encryption. If you have WEP, you need to enter the key of course. I'd recommend turning off encryption to start with, make the connection, then proceed to securing it.
No, no encryption!
It's a d-link router, and I know that a few people have been having problems with them and the SD, but a guy entered a post indicating that he has my particular model and it works no problem.
It must be a config issue, but I can't work out what it is.
Good news & bad news....
Good - It appears to be connected to the router
Bad - I can get access to e-mail or internet due to settings on the XDA
Any ideas?
Cheers!
It would help if we knew what model dlink router you have...
it's a DSL-604+
Hey all, I have been doing a lot of searching, and maybe I'm not searching properly, but any help in this area would be great. I have the Moto Xoom. I love it. I bought it without a data plan (who needs it?) and use it exclusively with wifi (sometimes tethered).
I was wondering if anyone knows of any app or whatever that allows me to specify an IP range AND a port range? I was able to find port scanners for SINGLE IPs, but not a range.
For example, my home IP follows the 10.0.0.XXX scheme (router's on .1, devices range from .2 and upwards). Does anyone know of any app that allows me to input an IP range and then specify a port range or even enter a comma delimited list of ports to scan for on that IP range?
Thanks!
Try these...
Looks like Network Discovery will do the trick once its certified on Android 3.0
In the meantime, I tried this Net Scan and it seems to be ok.

Net Scan totally is what I'm looking for (sort of). I tried Network Discovery, but you're right, it doesn't work.
Thanks!
Hello,
i'd like to know if any of you is experiencing wifi speed issue with the OP2.
Let me specify i'm having the same issue regardless of the rom, stock or CM12 based.
I've got a 20Mbit/s connection at home. Speedtest run from PC, laptop, and other phones shows consistent results, very close to the 20Mbit limit.
On the OP2 i can't get over 4-5 Mbit/s
I've searched for the forum before posting, found a few complaints but no solution.
On the web, i've found some advices to try to change the 802.11 radio speed from Router settings. I've tried it, but no solution.
I can't guess where the OP2 limit / issue comes from.
Any hint will be really appreciated.
I thought it would make sense post that after 24h studying the issue it SEEMS i finally fix it.
After a lot of testing with changes of the wi-fi settings phone size and router side, it seems that what actually solved my issue was to set the correct MTU size in the router options for pppoe connections. It was for some reason 1476, i've set it to 1492 as recommended for the pppoe protocol.
I've no clue how MTU size can affect speed and performance only on a single device of all the connected ones: i would have expect the same speed issue would affect my laptop and my pc too. So, i'm honestly not sure which is the relationship. Fact is, since i changed MTU size, OP2 goes at maximum speed allowed by my connection as well as the other devices on the network.
Hi, wonder if anyone can give me any pointers on this one? Not certain it's a device issue, but it's only my 6p having the problem, so it's where I'm currently looking for the fix...
I'm currently unable to access locations on my internal network - eg, if I use ES File Explorer, I can usually connect to my file server, no problem. However this is no longer working. I get an error saying 'server not found'
Nor can I access any internal web pages (eg the admin pages for my servers), and even Plex can't create a direct connection - only an indirect one.
The only connection I can make internally is the router admin page - and any page where I have port forwarding and access via a host name.
My other devices - both wired & wireless, on the same SSID, have no issues at all.
These issues seem to have coincided with the update to 7.1.2 - perhaps a coincidence, but seems to be linked.
I've tried re-installing ES File Explorer, and I've used the 'Network Settings Reset' option - neither of these helped.
I'm not using anything fancy like a VPN - the router is the bog-standard ISP provided one with a few port-forwarding rules - I've looked through the settings and can't see anything that might be blocking it.
Any suggestions welcome!
Well, not sure what the actual issue was, but in the end I forced the router to give out a new IP address to the phone, and voila - worked!
I'd infer some sort of IP address conflict, but don't even have that many devices on DHCP, so not entirely sure.

What was the actual problem? I read through it and don't even get what the problem was really.

The issue was that my phone couldn't access any internal network resources...

Given it was only this device having the issue, and the timing lined up with the 7.1.2 update, I suspected it was an issue relating to that update.
In the end, releasing the IP address and having a new one issued resolved it, which is why I inferred an IP address conflict.

I knew what issue I was facing - just not entirely sure what caused it.
But thanks for your input.

By internal network problem does that mean you had no issue connecting to WiFi with your phone and doing stuff like browsing the Internet?

Correct - browsing the internet, using apps etc - absolutely fine. Just nothing internal. So even PLEX would use an indirect connection rather than a direct one.
I'd restarted the phone several times, used the 'reset network services' option setting, but even after that the router was issuing the same ip address to the device. That's when I began getting suspicious that it was linked to the IP address. So changed the DHCP range to exclude the IP address it was giving out, restarted the router, and that sorted it.
