Could someone please help? I;ve got a spectec wifi card, WM5 driver. I get the antenna symbol, but no bars or signal strength. I 'configure' the wlan 11b network adapter for server assigned IP address AND connection to 'the internet' but no joy. Is there something at the router end i need to do?
What device are you using? why the WM5 driver? Is that driver also backwards compatible with WM2003?
Its the compact II, hence wm5. The spectec wlan card is backwards compatible with wm2003, but drivers are specific to the os (at least that's my understanding) Well, when i tap on IE i just get 'connecting' and that's it. Any ideas? Spectec don;t seem to be responding...i don;t know if its a driver issue or what...

You'll get the answers in the correct forum. Just go to the link above.
Mda Compact II, htc-charmer,etc,etc..but what's in a name? Man, this is the right place ?!?
my mistake....keep forgetting that there is a Charmer out there :lol:
There isn't an official forum for the Charmer as yet in this site....what is your router brand? Can the WLAN detect the SSID of your router? Is the SSID broadcast in your router switched on?
First thing is that your Wi-Fi must be able to detect that there is an access point nearby and should at least pick up the SSID of your network.

You'd be better off using the DHCP to "ON" on your wifi server. But if you manually configure it to use your own IPs, you also need to manually configure the IP settings on your Handheld. I cant tell specific details of how to do it on your handheld because i dont use spectec wifi card. But you should be able to look at its settings and tweak it.
Also make sure, as O2mininoob above said that your SSID must be Broadcast. Also make sure that MAC address filtering is OFF, otherwise you also have to manually input your handheld's MAC address.
Let me just add, i'm running apple-mac wireless networking - does that really matter? I can access wireless via non-Mac laptops - a second point, the spectec wlan utility on the mda won't open even after reinstalling.
Ok, I;ve disabled all restrictions on wireless clients on the base station -
But i;m not sure what SSID is, nor can i find anything about broadcasting under the settings.
P.S But there's one thing i don't get which might be of some significance (or probably not!)
1. Under the 'internet' tab on the PC (not the mda) which deals with TCP/IP settings, i'm showing one IP address which is teh same as the router address.
2. Under the 'network' tab (which deals with how the base-station's internet connection is shared with other computers) I'm sharing a single IP address using dhcp which is different from the above IP and router address.
Does the difference between 1 & 2 mean anything? Three laptops in the place are connecting without problems.
Well, thanks for any light on the matter
Sorry i dont know anything about apple-mac networking, but, if your other computers can connect to your router, then theres no problem with your router...
the problem might be with the way you connect your handheld to your router...
you configure your handheld the way you configured your computers to connect to your router.
about SSID> on your hanheld, if you perform a search for wireless network, can it find your wireless network name? (example> ''Belkin Wireless'' or ''Netgear'').
if your handheld fiinds it, then dont worry with SSID as im sure it is being broadcast.
also, make sure that wireless mode is set to both 802.11b and g.
My Spectec card came with drivers and a WLAN Utility program. When you run this program, it usually displays the SSID with the strongest signal. Do you have it installed in your PPC? What does it say when you run it?
Also, go to Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. If your Spectec driver was installed correctly, you'll have a window displaying all the SSID's that the card has detected. Tap and hold on your router's SSID and tap connect.
HTH. Good luck.
Spectec tells me that the wlan utility is incompatible with WM5. And i;m not getting a list of any SSID's. I've pretty much given up! Cheers for the feedback.
There's a WM2005 Spectec Driver here. Maybe you can try downloading this one, un-install the one in your PPC and install the new one.
Good luck.
Hi does anyone out there know of a way i can find out the MAC addreses for the network card on the Qtek 9100 running windows mobile 2005. I need to know the wireless network card and also if the gprs connection has a mac address i need to know that as well.
Thanks in advance.
Barry
why do you need to know this?? :roll:
So i can allow mac addresses only through the firewall

is it like a wireless network your trying to access?
No what we have is a vpn laptop users use securid tags to connect to the vpn and get there email. when they cannot use there laptop to get there mail they use the qtek 9100 create a gprs connection connect to the vpn and get there mail. But they don't like having to use the tag on the pocket pc to connect to the vpn and want it to auto connect every hour and check messages. so if i knew the mac address i could allow them access through the firewall to connect to there mail.
ah right
a bit complex for me... i managed to find mine,.... but only via my wireless router... where i looked in the DHCP active IP table... it has mac addresses in there etc...
I'll see if i can find it on my phone now///
otherwise if you have a few users it might be a pain trying to identify them all eh lol
found it... i think!!
go to start>settings> connections tab>wirelesslan>advanced tab>
in there i found mac address that matches the mac address shown on my DHCP table...
i might be sending you off on a wild goose chase but thats as much as i can find sorry :roll:
Thanks for that but has any got any idea if the gprs connection uses the same mac address or a differnt mac address
GPRS is only virtual, and the radio module has no mac adress. You get only an IP.
But you need a MAC address for the IP to work don't you there must a mac address on the phone would it be the same as the wireless card.
hello
me and 2 people that i know have that problem
i think that the problem in the device
i hope that the problem namely software and not hardware
...please, tell us more, like:
¹ brand, type, rom, radio,
² is the connection problem with a desktop, router?
the device is htc tytn
the problem is the connection with the router
rom 1.18.255.3
radio 1.03.03.10
I have a problem between Htc TyTN and a router (Livebox Inventel) when the router is in WEP Configuration.
WAP is OK and No security is OK
But i don't know if the problem is the htc or the router
the problem is the HTC!!!
the problem is the HTC!!!

Are you sure ? :?:
sure
Hard reset and try to connect again.
Also make sure you don't have any MAC address policy restriction on the AP.
there is signal but it is not connected, even after HR

So your AP has a MAC address restriction, you will not be able to conect until you add the MAC address of your HTC device in the MAC address access control list of your AP.
hello pof and thanks about your answer
can you tell me what to do, but i need you to tell me slowly and clear
because that i am not understands the wors such "AP" & "mac" that listed.
thank's again

AP == Access Point, from what I see in your previous comments yours is a router (Livebox Inventel).
MAC == A unique identifier of every network device (similar to IMEI in phones), it consists of 6 hex octets, one example could be: 12:34:56:78:90:AB
So, what I say is that your Livevox Inventel has a "protection" so it only allows to connect known MACs, and the MAC address of your TyTN wifi card is "unknown" for your wifi router, you have to enter the administration console of the router and add the MAC address of your TyTN to the list, or remove the MAC protection.
Hope it is clear now
hello paf
ok i see that i have MAC address for WAN, LAN, WIRLESS
my router is DLINK 624+
how can i remove the MAC protection?
again thank you?
mordof
i see that DHCP is on Disabled
Static DHCP is used to allow DHCP server to assign same IP address to specific MAC address
and i still have MAC addres
so.....?
thank you my friend it is working

I need to discover the MAC address of the Herald's built in wifi device so I can use it for MAC address filtering on my router. My router (linksys W54G) doesn't detect what the Herald's MAC address is if I turn off filtering.
Anybody have any ideas?
BTW on my old IPAQ H4150 running Pocket PC, the asset viewer shows the MAC address but Windows Mobile 5 on the Herald doesn't show this information
i guess you can find it in wifisettings. start connection wifi....
good luck

Be sure to be connected to a wireless network. Otherwise you can't see you mac-address. Even when you need to insert your mac address in the router, you still can connect to the network. I have mac-address filtering too on my wireless network.
If you can't find that information on your device, you could always check what the router says what's connected to it.
I'm trying to do a similar thing but would like to know if there is an application to view a devices MAC address from a PC over Activesync? Oh and I can't view it from router logs as it's preconfigured to use with other access points and I do not want to reconfigure them. Thanks for any help.
Hi all
Ive just brough a new belkin wireless n router set it up as you should connected my laptop my brothers laptop my desktop my ipod touch but my MDA touch will not connect to it. My touch connects to my other trendnet router fine and all other AP i have tryed. what is really bugging me is that when i try and connect to my new belkin it wont let me connect to any other routers so i have to delete the belkin router from my device and soft reset
i am starting to think it could be a faulty router or mda
Same boat....
I have the same issue with my HTC Kaiser, can see a host of AP/Wireless Routers via the Wi-Fi card but fails to connect to my Belkin F5D8631-4 v3 N1 Wireless Modem Router, a real pain in the arse considering the price I paid for the router, everything else connects, PC's, PS3, 360, DS Lite, PSP the lot....all bar the Kaiser.
Anyone managed to find a solution to this issue and sitting on it
Before you ask, no security enabled, only using the MAC address filtering to do the job of keeping unwanted off my network, even with this turned off the Kaiser see the network, flags it up as available but will not connect....
Any help gratefully received
Connecting
I bought a sitecom mimo XR router, I have got the same problem with a Qtek 9090.
The solution I found is, dont activate dhcp on your device but manually add the ip adresses of your router and device, set the dns server ip-adress to the ip-adress of your device.
Worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback/comments
I have done (I think) correctly and its still not playing ball, just to confirm the actual detail:
Router Set Up:
DHCP Activated ? (it is currently)
All WEP/WPA turned off
MAC address filtering turned on and the MAC adress for the hand set network card (found by
on to Com Manager, Settings, Wireless Lan, Advanced Tab) is on the list on accepted MAC address on the MAC filter
Handset Settings
Wireless Network Adapter settings (on Configure Network Adapters page)
IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi
User Specific IP address 192.168.2.50 (not an address allocated by DHCP)
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.2.1 (IP address of the Router)
Primary DNS 192.168.2.1 (IP address of the Router)
I get the same sort of problem occasionaly with my universal. The only thing that sorts it out is deleting any reference to the connection then removing the battery. This seems to flush out the system & then it finds it a new connection & connects straight away, worth a try if nothing else works.

Thanks John,
I did try this, and it didn't make a difference.
You know when you get that feeling you are going to have to admit defeat....
Any solutions so far
Guys,
Does anyone has a solution so far?
What version of Windows mobile are you running?
This post in the Shift forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384730
mentions a beta firmware on Belkins UK site which solves the problem.
hi, i'm using a mda vario 3 with an older Belkin router and it works fine. I have the dhcp server turned off with all the ip's set manually. the ieee 802.1 auth thingy is not selected. other than that my settings are similar to those posted above. Although i have wep security set up. (Nintendo ds's only do wep)

wifi problem
just upgraded my MDA to wm6.1 and i encountered a problem regarding with my wifi connection.
having my old wm5, i dont have any problem connecting to my wireless router(d link) but when i upgraded my wizard to wm6.1, at first it will connect for about 20sec then the connection will drop and i cant connect anymore. but my wizard detects my router but it just on the screen that it is unavailable even though it shows a very strong signal.
i've tried to hard reset it and it doesn't work. i just wondering if there's a configuration i should do with the setting of my wifi? or is there an application that i can download here? and also i lost the voice tag program of my phone when i upgraded it to wm6.1, where cant i download an application for it?
thank you in advance!!! ([email protected])

I have an HTC Touch that can connect to other hotspots, but not to my home Belkin router. Sometimes, if there is another connection available, it can see the router, and says that it is Available, but cannot connect; other times it won't even see it. I have checked for firmware updates, but I have the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Belkin Response Nov 14 2008 22:18
Hi Lilburd,
Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support.
We understand that the HTC Touch does not connect to the router. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please follow the steps given below to update the firmware and configure the router:
We recommend that you update the firmware from a computer that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Please download the latest firmware on the router from the link given below. Download the file "3.01.29":
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=10288&scid=0
and save it to the computer.
- To update the firmware, log on to the router`s web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar of the browser. The computer should be
connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address, use that IP address.
- By default, the password is blank. Click the "Submit" button.
- Click on "Firmware Upgrade" under the option "Utilities".
- Click on “Browse” and select the bin file that you have downloaded.
- Click on “update” and follow the wizard.
- After updating the firmware, restore the router to factory defaults by clicking on "Restore Factory Defaults" under "Utilities".
- Reconfigure the router.
Please follow the steps given below for configuring the router:
- Connect the computer to the "LAN" port on the router and connect the modem to the Internet/"WAN" port, using Ethernet cables.
- Take a paper clip, insert the paper clip in the reset hole of the router and hold it for 15 seconds.
- The power light will flash and then come back "ON" solid, indicating that the router is being restored to factory defaults.
- The corresponding lights on the front of the router should be lit up.
- On the computer, check if you have an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If not, specify a static IP address, gateway and "DNS" address by following the steps given in the link-
http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2824
- Log on to the router web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1, in the address bar of your browser.
- By default, the password is blank.
- Click on "Connection Type" in the left hand column under "Internet WAN" heading.
If the connection type is Dynamic (cable):
- Choose "Dynamic" and then click on "Next".
- Type in your “Host Name”, if your Internet Service Provider has provided it. Else, leave it blank.
- Click on "Change WAN MAC Address".
- Click on the button "Clone".
- Click on "Apply Changes".
If the connection type is PPPOE (DSL):
- Choose "PPPOE" and click on "Next".
- Enter the user name and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
- Save the settings.
- Click on the "Home" link at the top of the screen.
Internet Status should show "Connected" on the top right hand corner of the web page.
If the problem persists, please get back to us with the following information:
1. Type of connection provided by your ISP (Is it PPPOE, Dynamic or static).
2. Name of the Internet service provider (ISP).
3. Version number of the router. You would find the version number on the bottom of the device. It would be a number in a series of thousands with a prefix “ver.”.
4. If the internet connection is stable on the computers using the router?
5. If the HTC Touch detects and connects to other networks in the neighborhood?
Lilburd, if you need further assistance please feel free to write back to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Belkin Technical Support.
This was the response I got from Belkin after emailing them. It worked like a charm
Registry option
Not Sure about this one, but if you use SK Tools, or find the registry values yourself, there is an option to activate on the Touch, the 801 g networks compatibility, for some reason they are compatible but the option comes 'off' by default.

THANK YOU - Wizard 9100 now connecting to belkin N1
thank you - I had the same problem as original post - I updated using the pre release belkin firmware and it works now.
Excellent!
I was pretty sure that it was an incompatibility issue between HTC and Belkin.
Thanks a lot for this patch, you saved my (wifi) life ^^
This update also worked with my Kaiser! I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to connect. Thanks a lot!
