Hi, Can anyone help me with the settings I need to connect my Wanadoo Livebox with my O2 XDA Exec using wifi??
I already connect with my laptop and my wife's ipaq but can't with the exec.
I have 128 bit wep enabled and have put the key successfully into the exec but all that happens is: "connecting" followed by "available"?
I can see the network fine and when I check the livebox config.....the mac address of the exec is there along with the other two devices, so it's mac associated.
At the moment I'm using:
Network Cards Tab:
Wireless Tab:
Shows my livebox with the alternating connecting/available message.
Clicking on the shown network (my livebox) brings up the settings:
General Tab:
Network name: shows the correct SSID for my livebox
Connects to: The Internet.
Network Key Tab:
Authentication: WPA-PSK (Although I've also tried this on "open").
Data Encryption: TKIP.
"The key is automatically provided" box is ghosted.
Network key: Correct wep key, tried in upper and lower case.
Key Index: Is ghosted but shows "1".
802.1x Tab:
All ghosted......
But shows a ticked box for "use IEEE 802.1x network access control".
EAP type: Smart Card or Certificate.
Back to previous menu:
Networks to access: All Available.
Network Adapters Tab:
My network card connects to: The Internet.
As for the list of adapters......I have changed nothing as I know nothing!!
The list is a mystery to me.....I thought there would be just one.....??
Wireless LAN Tab:
Main Tab:
Status: Scanning network...
SSID: Blank.
TX Rate: Auto.
Mode: Infrastructure.
Channel: Blank.
BSSID: Blank.
MAC: Contains the associated MAC addy.
IP: Blank.
Signal Quality: Blank.
Settings Tab: Untouched.
LEAP Tab:
SSID: Shows my livebox, correctly named.
Authentication Type: Open System
Here, I have input my wanadoo user name and password.
Authentication Type: Open System. ( I have tried this with "EAP" selected but it has made no difference).
I have tried changing most of these settings with no luck...... I 've also tried removing the network (livebox) and letting it find it again with the default settings..... All I get is the same alternating messages prev mentioned??
Sorry this is so long....but thought I'd better put as much info in as possible
Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks in advance
Tim

It looks like you're using 128bit WEP Encryption, and trying to connect using WPA-PSK Encryption ?
I'm no expert on setting up Wireless connections, but you'll want to recheck your settings and ensure you're using the same Encryption security on both your Wanadoo Livebox and the Exec.
"The key is automatically provided" box is ghosted.
Network key: Correct wep key, tried in upper and lower case.
Key Index: Is ghosted but shows "1".

Working from memory, you will need to set your Exec to WEP, which will unghost(?) the "The key is automatically provided". Uncheck the box and then type in your WEP key. Also ensure the Key Index is set to the same as your Wanadoo Live box.
At the moment, when it says "available", it basically means you have attached to the Wireless AP, but not authenticated (again, your trying to use different security types), so no IP is handed out to your Exec, thus no access..
Last time I tried setting up my Exec wirelessly I ended up hard resetting it, as I could no longer surf via the USB cable. YMMV of course..
cheers
Do you have DHCP enabled? Are your IP addresses static or dynamic?
Maybe they connect to eachother but if the IP addresses belong to different sub-nets, they will not allow any transfering.
I vaguely remember other people having problems with their Livebox and not being able to resolve them.
Might be worth searching the forums for 'livebox' to see what crops up. IIRC the problems were never solved. Wanadoo weren't interested in helping either.
Hi and Thanks.
I haven't got dhcp enabled so I believe the ip is dynamic?
I've changed my settings to "open" instead of "WPA-TPIK" and reinput my wep key.... but still with no luck
Aaah That's interesting.... and sounds about right for Wanadoo!!
I'm off to search now.
Thanks Again

Did you check the IP address that the Universal is using? Maybe you have to assign one within the subnet mask in the settings of the Wifi configuration of the universal. Normally, they asign in the 169.x.x.x grouping and the routers are normally 192.x.x.x so they will connect but will not send data to eachother.
Wep Keys
It's worth noting that you can usually input the key in hex or Ascii - I believe the key in the XDA will be in hex so make sure that the key in the AP is also in hex (I know that mine works when I use hex on both sides).

Hi Jorge, Only problem is which adapter settings to change from the list....I changed the settings for the first one in the list and input the correct primary and secondary DNS then input the correct ip addy and netmask and gateway......but still no joy
Do you know which adapter?
Thanks
Tim
Hi Dave, I used the keyboard to put the wep key in, as I did with the ipaq (no problem). How do I input it in using hexadecimal on the exec??
Much Appreciated....... anythings worth a try
Thanks
Tim
I believe the adapter is the tiacxwin CompatibleWireless Ethernet. It might be easier to just enable DHCP on your router, maybe? Don't you think?

I have the similar problem with a LinkSys router before which generates a HEX pass key based on the ASCII phrase you provide, which did confuse me a bit. It is the HEX key you need to set.
Hi all.
Our network administrator periodically changes the network key for our wireless access points for security reasons. Then our laptops are configured to use the new network key by copying and pasting the new key onto each computer using a flash disk. In my case, when I want to access the network using my Wizard, I have to physically input the new key in character by character each time (and it's usually quite a complex key at that!). I was wondering if any of you know if it's possible to paste the new key into the password field from a text file or email, since the usual tap-and-hold method of pasting text doesn't seem to work when inputting passwords.
Have you tried using the popup keyboard, ctrl v?

Hi all,
I've got a a wifi network with a full length pass phrase that uses the complete extended ascii alphabet (including characters not on the TyTn) and am wondering if there is a way to cut and paste the key into the network key field of the wifi configuration wizard?
Thanks
Same problem
Yes, I have the same problem as you do. I can not paste the long WPA key into the box. The Paste option is disabled. Did you find any solution?

I use a free download called Hitchhiker which is meant for seeking out and making it easy to log onto networks. I've just tried and it allows pasting of the key into the box. If you then exit hitchhiker it says it will disconnect from the network, But don't worry as it saves the key to the appropriate place so when you log in again by the normal route it is already entered.
NB obviously you can save a text file on PC with the key on it and move it to Hermes but when pasting use ctrl v to paste on softkeyboard not usual press and hold the stylus as that does not give the paste option.

Hi all, some help if possible please.
I am creating a build for the Sedna which requires the APN connection to have a DNS server set. I add this IP address to the DNS settings and then extract the Reg but cannot find where it adds the IP address. No item in either decimal or hex can be found for the IP address I have entered.
What I want to do is then create a reg key with the DNS value and pop it into a CAB file.
Does anyone have any idea where WM6.1 keeps the DNS settings please?
Thanks
I have written a WiFi client that supports OPEN and Preshared key networks, and am trying to add EAP TTLS PAP authentication. The Android WifiConfiguration class has settings for supporting preshared keys, but I don't see how to set the various fields for EAP TTLS PAP, such as inner and outer identity, password.
Has anyone tried to do this?

I have the same problem, my friend has an Eris that has all the additonal config parameters you mentioned (inner/outer tunnel, etc...)
