Hello.
Today I downloaded Office 2010 for my HD Mini. After completing the phone restarted.
I then tried to check my email, which failed with a 'no connection' error. I checked the the WiFi was on (it was) and tried again, no luck. I then noticed that the little 'Data Connection' icon was not displayed in the taskbar. I went to Settings>Wireless controls>Data connection and turned this on. Now I could check emails, surf the internet, all as normal. I am sure that this was being done using the WiFi due to the speed of pages loading. But surely I shouldn't need to turn on a Data connection, to use WiFi?
Mine is havin a similar problem. I am not able to surf even if I connet to my wifi. Only after enabling the data connection it starts work. Though I am not sure which internet its using. Since it was kind of slow.
Don't know for sure if its a bug or hardware issue but it is something. Someone pls help.

Well. I think I might have found the problem here. I was looking for the setting to turn Wi-Fi off automatically after a few minutes and I came across the setting for DNS Address, I have manually assigned an IP addresses on my Wi-Fi as otherwise my Apple Mac and Windows PC's can't see the printer, I had assigned an IP address and the Gateway address for the router, but I had not found the panel for DNS servers, I had assumed that the DNS server would be located automatically - it appears this is not the case and the HTC HD Mini was using the GPRS DNS server to locate the IP addresses before downloading the pages via the Wi-Fi connection.
So, if suffering from not being able to access the internet on Wi-Fi without a GPRS connection being made try the following:
Settings >
Wireless Controls >
Wi-Fi >
Advanced (Button) >
Adaptor and Networks >
Network Adapters (Tab) >
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Not sure if this is required...
What is the DHD adapter???
I did enter both my IP and DNS settings here though... Just in case!
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Then back out of all the menus/pages.
This worked for me. Worth a try?

I go ino my comm manager and enable wifi, then it picks up my security enabled linksys router. Which has worked in the past, the only thing thats changed since the last time i actually transfered any data over wifi, was installing my minisd sandisk card, and the .net network.
Whenever i try to hit any website, or check any mail connections setup in my out look i get...
"Cannot Connect
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings"
Any suggestions?
Are other devices able to access the internet using wifi and this router?
Can you access your router with PIE? http://192.168.1.1
What are your settings in Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks and Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Network Adapters ?
Try deleting your router entry from the list in
Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Wireless
Then establish a new connection with the router and when prompted choose
This network connects to the The Internet.
Hi guys,
I've got a netopia router (Irish "eircom" broadband) and while normal internet connections via laptop or PC (with USB Wifi dongle) work fine I just can't get my XDA Mini S to actually access the internet. I have managed to actually get it to connect via WIFI however when I launch internet explorer and click on a link it says it can't access using this connection.
"Can't connect with current connection settings. To change you connection settings, tap Settings".
Under connections I'm not sure what to select as I don't believe I need to setup a modem connection or VPN - am I wrong here??
It shows "connected" in the WIFI settings, indicating my SSID etc. Could someone advise me on what else I need to set. Basically I'm obtaining an IP address and my laptop etc work fine, just wondering what more I need to do to bash internet explorer into submission on the XDA. Is is just me or are Microsoft making this very hard on the normal user..
Start--> settings -->Wireless Lan
SSID is correct.. i.e my Wireless LAN
Mode : infrastructure
BSSID is set (though I don't know what this indicates)
TX Rate :auto
Channel :7
Start--> settings -->Wireless Lan - Advanced Tab
Status : Associated to Network
MAC number given
IP address given (so I guess DHCP is working fine)
Leap tab and Enroll tab - all settings blank.
------------------------------------------------
Start --> settings --> system --. Network cards
SSID shows Connected
Under Network Adapters tab : My network card connects to the Internet.
Adapter NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver. (not sure what difference this makes????)
I temporarily disabled WEP for the purposes of simplifying things.
Simple yet very annoying problem:
Go to Settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection and make sure both combos read 'My ISP'.
Then, when connecting to your WiFi network select 'This network connects to the internet' (as I understand you already have this set under 'network adapters' so it should be ok).
THANK YOU!

Thank you so very much I have been look for this forever!!!
thanks so much for the tip too. i've been trying to fix my wifi ever since i upgraded to windows mobile 6 and this did the trick.
hi there , i can see that my Polaris is connected to my router via wpa2-psk
as it's MAC and ip are showed in router
I also see that an IP is assigned to my Polaris , but i cannot surf the internet
Tried IE , Opera and YouTube
Anybody has a suggestion?
depend on your network setup really
as take me my wifi dont have direct uplink
so i have to manualy set ip's and gateway and dsn to my
pda to match the computer which is the gateway and what
dns it have
you can get that in windows in a console by ipconfig /all
and manualy set my ip within the same subnet as the computer
which is gateway

THANKS!!!WORKS!!!!
you'd better check your router's DHCP settings as your provider might wish to change his DNS server addresses in the future and your device will keep using old, static ones
same but different?
Greetings:
this thread title describes my problem, but have to admit that I'm not certain the fix described above would apply to me (or perhaps I just didn't understand the answer??)
My setup:
HTC Advantage x7501 (freshly done a "hard reset") running WM6.
I DO NOT have a SIM card installed, nor do I plan (at this time) to use on a 3G network, just wish to use as a mini-computer on wifi. i've set the "wireless lan" Power Save Mode to "best performance" and am sitting close to wifi. Other windows and mac laptops have successfully used this router for years.
Asante FriendlyNet 3002 Wireless router (80211.b; WEP capable and on, MAC address controls capable and on)
The HTC has been connected several times to the router with the 40/64 - bit encryption. The little arrows move during connection, then stop and status is reported as "connected". The Wireless Lan "Advanced" tab shows "connected to network", reports the MAC, and the right IP address, and allows me to 'renew' it (and it always renews to the same #).
I do notice under the "configure network adapters" part of the wi-fi control settings that there are no "name servers" filled in, but the router is doing DHCP so maybe this is not a problem??? (checking my mac powerbook, I don't fill them in there either)
If I check (from another computer) the router I can see the HTC advantage shows up in the DHCP list of active clients.
Now: when I go to surf the internet, I get NOTHING with either IE or Opera 8.65.
when I put an address in the browser bar (or click a link on the Opera homepage) I see a status bar report at the bottom of the screen that says: "Images 0/0KB Looking up host..." after sometime this process times out. sometimes then I get a message to the effect of "unable to locate host" or just a time out.
Any suggestions?
ugggh: BTW, I have my "configure network adapters" setting to say that My Network Card Connects to: "the internet", not "work"
AND, under Connections I used the "select networks" button to say both types of programs should connect using "My ISP"
many thanks in advance! ( i have been trying for nearly two weeks a bit here and there, reading, googling, etc. w/o luck...)
May I suggest to enter manually the DNS and alternate DNS. I had the same problem and done that and worked.

I have a HTC Wizard (Cingular version). Last week, I discovered this forum and upgraded my phone from WM5 to WM6.1.... and the exact same thing happened to me! Before the upgrade (on WM5), my phone was surfing the internet thru Wifi just fine... and 30 minutes later, after the upgrade -- it didn't work.
Like you, I searched thru these forums and found various "tricks"... none of them worked for me either.
Luckily, I didn't give up on my phone. A couple days later I got the idea "let's see if I can connect to other networks". I stood out on the back porch and my phone found 3 or 4 other Wifi networks..... I tried to connect to each, with no luck. I came back into the house, and on a whim tried my own home network again --- IT WORKED! Since then, I have been able to connect to various-and-sundry Wifi networks just fine. The problem "just went away" (which some others on the forum have reported... "just keep trying", they say).
I have no conclusive evidence, but my theory is that there are some default (or residual) registry settings for Wifi that need to get "pushed out" or overwritten. By attaching to several different networks, the new/default settings in the registry gets overwritten, and once all the "bad" data is gone -- your phone will be fine.
Hope that helps.... good luck!
TY - but no success yet
MariaM:
I went to my router config page and got the DNS, then I checked the DNS from a laptop (that is successfully connecting) and both report the same:
domain net
nameserver 71.252.0.12
nameserver 71.250.0.12
Note that neither show / report a "WINS".
entering these into the SETTINGS>CONNNECTIONS>WIFI>NETWORK ADAPTERS>NAME SERVERS helped...and I did a soft reset after entering them, and the entry did hold in the setting after the soft reset.
if anyone has any ideas I'd be thrilled. Happy to do a hard reset again and start from scratch if need be. TY.
I have spent lots of time researching this - seems like a lot have this same problem and I don't see a clear solution.
My 8525 says the WiFi is connected but I can't get anything in IE (keeps saying "locating" in the status line.
I have correctly connected to my router with the proper WEP 40 /64 bit (10 hex digits) key 1 specifying that this wireless network connects to "the internet".
I tried defining "My ISP" but it puts "GPRS" after the connection in the My ISP Settings...
I have tried NOGPRS to turn off GPRS entirely - but still no joy.
I also tried to manually hard code in the TCP/IP address for my DNS (using my laptop and looking at the wireless connection in IPCONFIG/ALL) (Don't know what WINS is though.) Also did the same for the IP address / subnet mask / gateway...
Anyone out there manage to get WiFi working after a WM6.1 upgrade? What did you do?
Use the MEdiaNet connection - just untick the Proxy in connection settings. No need to create new connections for your home WiFi. In the Network Mgt screen (under Start > Settings > Connections > Advanced tab > Connections button) set both drop downs to MEdiaNet.
Get a utility to verify you have an IP address from your router if you haven't already done so. I'm partial to FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1. If you have an IP then you should be connected.
If you do have an IP but PIE still times out, see if you can ping your router from your 8525. Same utility as mentioned above will do the job. Eliminate your router's WEP temporarily just to eliminate the security as a variable for testing.
Try using another browser. Not sure why, but at one time I'd hosed up PIE enough that it wouldn't load pages, whereas Opera and Skyfire would. If that's the case a hard reset may be in your future.
Good luck!
Thank You
Oh My God!!! Thank you Hotmail... I had same problem and now i have fixed it thanks to you!!!

Glad it helped.
So I'm facing this problem, generally not just on my Touch HD but also on a older Dell Axim x50v but also on a friends iPhone.
I got a WiFi network set up at home, secured etc. two notebooks connect over it to the internet on a daily basis, but I just can't get the HD or any other mobile device to connect to the Internet over the WiFi.
On my HD, I can easily connect to the WiFi, even edit router settings over it, but not the internet. The MAC of the HD is entered in the router to be given a fixed IP and is allowed to receive packets same as the tow notebooks.
Is there some problem with the mobile devices or is it a issue with the WiFi?
On my device I found the connection through Comm Manager>Wi-fi>Settings>Wireless LAN quite straightforward. Does not need any mac# assignment on the router as long as WEP/WPA keys are in router (router set in infrastructure mode). Other settings I used, if that's any help is in Configure Wireless Networks - Networks to Access - Only access points and in Network Adaptors - My network card connects to - The Internet.
Hope that helps.

Hi was able to save this ans but forgot the source though.
1. Go to start/settings/connections and click 'Wi-Fi.
Click 'Wi-Fi' and from the drop down menu chose 'Work' (not 'The Internet') then click 'OK'.
(Seems crazy I know but that's WM terminology for you).
2. You should still be in start/settings/connections/ so click 'Connections' the 'Advanced' tab.
click 'Select Networks' and set both boxes to 'My Work Network'.
Click OK.
3. Now when you click Settings/Communications (in Touch Flo desktop) and turn on Wi-Fi every app that connects to the internet will automatically connect via your WiFi connection.
4. If you need to connect using your Telco’s Data connection (should you be away from a WiFi router:
From Settings/Communications click then 'Select Networks' and in the top box choose 'internet' or ('Optus internet settings' in my case).
Remember to disconnect using 'Select networks switch' and change it back to 'My Work Network' as per step 2 once your finished.
this solves my problem..
some though needs to boost there power settings. To do so;
Go to start/settings/connections and click 'Wi-Fi. Then go to advance then choose "power mode" tab. Then change the slide to middle from best battery or to best performance.
HTH.
I tried both suggestions and it still doesn't work for me. Well, it further hints towards a problem with my router settings, so gonna have to see if I can find the problem there.
