I have BELKIN broadband router (Irish Eircom broadband). Is it possible to connect XDA IIi (alpine) to this router through WiFi connection??? If Yes - Help me!
Yes it is. If the router is on the default settings you just need to touch the antrenna symbol at the bottom of the Today screen, then the green square at the bottom right, then the WLAN box and turn on WLAN.
Does anyone have a guide on how to setup a secure connection between PC & Phone on WI-FI?
It's baffling the heck out of me!

Depends on the router, what ya got?
I dont have a router, I have a WI-FI PCI card and my router is conected via ethernet
So you are trying to set up an ad-hoc connection.
You need to set your wireless on both the computer and the PDA to ad-hoc.
To do this on the PC depends on your operating system and device. Set up your wireless connection on the PC first making sure it is set up as an ad-hoc network.
On your XDAIIi Start>Settings>Connections Tab>Network Cards
You should see the network you have set up on the PC, make sure the ad-hoc box is ticked and connect to it.
You may have to set the TCP/IP settings manually. If you have a problem with doing that post up what you have done and how far you have got.
Yes, I'v got a connection! But NetFront_v3.2 says "Cannot read page." So, i can not surf Internet.

Do you have the DHCP server turned on on the router?
Yes1 DHCP server IS turned on on the router.
OK, when you are connected and you click on the Wi-Fi icon on the bottom of the screen, does the network address match that of the router or has it set a default one?
Internet Connection Sharing
Depeding on your OS (is it windows/linux etc.) you'll nmeed to set up some form of proxy server or other packet forwarding to persuade the machine to accept packets on the WiFi card and to forward them to the Internet.
If you are using XP (or from memory 2K) you can switch on Internet connection sharing, follow the wizard and then browse to your hearts content.

Hi,
I also have a laptop with build-in Wifi and a qtek 2020i. I've shared the lan connection on the laptop and created a wirelles network. The laptop and qtek 2020i see each other but i can't surf on the qtek. i have windows XP.
The ip address on the qtek is fixed by default and is supposed to be 192. etc i read somewhere...
I use a modem/routeur (thomson 530) on which the laptop is connected (lan).
Could you please explain me how should i setup or manuallay choose the ip on my qtek?
Many thanks
john

Hi Guys,
This is starting to get confused - there are two types of connection being set up here: -
Firstly a cabled connection between the PC and the router with a wireless card in the PC. in this instance you need to forward the packets from the wireless card to the ethernet card and then onto the router.
In this case, if you are using Windows 2K or XP use the Internet connection sharing wizard, this will then enable packet forwarding on your PC, with a "DHCP server" (not fully functional) on the wireless card, when you establish the Ad Hoc (set exactly the same SSID on both cards - remember it's case sensitive and that should be all you need for Ad-Hoc) wireless connection between the 2020i and the PC you should then find that you are assigned an IP address (192.168.0.x is the default from memory). You should then have the IP address of the Wireless Interface Card on the PC set as your default gateway and DNS server - you need each of these entries in order to able to connect to the Internet.
If you want to secure this connection, you can use WEP (40 bit or 128 bit Same Key same position on both SSID configs), though remember that if a sniffer collects about 300K packets, it is possible to use AirCrack to regain the wep key - paranoid but true.
If you have a wireless gateway, this should (in all probability) already have a DHCP service up and running on it (it's probably giving your PC all of the IP settings it needs) so all you should need is to establish a connection between these two devices. Switch wireless on on the 2020 and you should be prompted with a message box saying Your_SSID connects you to and offer you work and Internet, select Internet if there is a WEP key or other form of encryption enabled you will be prompted for a key. In theory you will have set all of this up on the router in the first place so probably have some idea of what you are doing.
Hope this helps, if not feel free to throw abuse.
Kind Regards
Dave

I tried it last night and it got it working in about 5 minutes!! was well pleased . I'm using the infrastructure mode, got a XDAIIi and a D-Link G604T. I dont have any authentication setup, the only thing I use is the MAC based access list, so I had to add the XDA MAC into the router access list and for the rest I followed what the above link said.
Tip: make sure you do a reset for the settings to take effect, did'nt realise thats why it took me five minutes!
hiya... sorry to bug anyone about this... but i have a problem logging on wifi connection on my Xda IIi...
using a dell TrueMobile 2300 wireless router...
(( i got a stinking feeling i might not able to do this.. cos been trying the last 4 hours and i just recalled whenever a com wants to link up with this router.. that com have to go thru it's Cd to Authz it first.. . ))
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
WPA WiFi connection
The only secure WiFi connection I can use on my XDA IIi is via WEP. For some unknown reason I cannot connect using WPA.
Any ideas...
I have an AT&T Tilt running its original ROM. Is there a way to change the Comm Manager to have a shortcut to Internet Sharing instead of Wireless Modem? I replaced the Comm Manager with a nice touch style one, but it still shows Wireless Modem, so I assume there is somewhere in the registry which tells Windows which one to use by default for this type of task. Does anyone know how to change it?
Bump...It's been awhile since this question was asked and I'm looking for the same thing. Anyone have any ideas yet?
Has anyone found a way?
where is Internet Sharing?
I'd like to give ICS a try instead of using wireless modem.
I have the original ROM. Where should I find Internet Connection Sharing?
I've looked in Start > Programs, and it's not there. If it is not on my phone, can I add it?
Thanks, Bren

If its not there, its hidden in your My Device/Windows directory. Its there, you just gotta look. On mine its called Internet Sharing. You can then create a shortcut to it and place it in your programs or start menu.

download both AdvancedConfig_v1.1.CAB and AdvancedConfig_v1.0.CAB from http://xda.scan4.us/index.php?sort=date&order=desc&path=Cabs/ and change it from there
Internet Connection Sharing
Thanks for your responses to my post. I did find the app in my Windows folder. It's called IntShrUI.exe. I pasted a shortcut of it into my Start Menu > Programs folder. I haven't been able to figure out how to configure my PC to make it work.
I've been researching in the forums how to configure a PC to use the internet connection of my phone. My PC doesn't have Bluetooth, so I would like to use the USB connection. Most of the postings are how to configure for Bluetooth.
If you know where to find a good explanation, please post the link for me. I'm running Windows XP Pro. I want to use the phone as a back up connection if my cable connection goes down.
I have been successful using my phone with AT&T connection manager on my computer, but I have a problem with that. I have Virtual PC installed on my computer, and the network configuration of Virtual PC doesn't recognize the AT&T Connection Manager as a network card, so my VPC doesn't have access to the internet through my phone.
I'm hoping that with Internet Connection Sharing, the network adapter on my PC will still be used, and access the Internet through the gateway on my phone.
Thanks, Bren

There are 2 ways to get it working over USB. Either get the USB modem drivers working, (Which I have never been able to do) or use windows dial up networking. I have connected my Tilt to the AT&T 3G data network with the Windows xp Professional DUN interface. When I get home I'll copy my DUN settings and post them here. Its the same settings I used to use to teather my Motorola V551 for data. I accidentally clicked on DUN a few weeks ago while the Tilt was connected and it worked with the same settings.
Of course, I do have a USB Bluetooth dongle, and getting ICS working is easiest with BT. All you have to do for that is set up a pairing between the 2 devices, and create a BT Personal Area Network.
-Jay
I got it working
Thanks, Jay.
I pieced together information I found about ICS, and I got it working. It works with my Virtual PC because Windows XP puts a Network Connection in the Network Connections folder that I can use to create a Virtual Network in the VPC configurations.
When my phone is connected to my computer via USB, and I open Internet Connection Sharing app on the phone, and then connect to the phone's data network, the Network Connection is automatically created in XP.
I'm not sure what was missing, but when I tried this earlier on my laptop, it didn't successfully automatically install the Generic RDNIS driver that my desktop did successfully install. I'm going to try it again on my laptop. On my laptop, I do have bluetooth, and I will try to get that working instead of USB.
I'm wondering, is there any advantage to using AT&Ts Communication Manager instead of Internet Connection Sharing?
Thanks again for your response.

I would think that the advantage is that they then know for a fact you are teathering, and can be exxxxtra sure you are being "properly billed" on an "appropriate" data plan that probably costs at least $60/mo

Ok, I found the Cingular / AT&T DUN settings on my computer.
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1 (This is case sensitive!!!)
Number to Dial: *99***3#
I also always max out the port speed in the modem configuration so the port doesn't restrict a nice fast HSDPA connection.
This will work for Bluetooth or USB modem connections.

How do i get the internet working on the tytn II when it is connected to my computer via USB ? Thanks !
It should automatically connect via the computers connection. At least it does for me anyway

Do a search for "Internet Sharing" or "tethering" on the forum here - you will find out how to do this - be aware that this is called "tethering" and MAY involve a different data requirement for you.
If you have a payment plan that does not support tethering then while you can do some "surfing" if you downlod/transfer a lot of data you will get caught and then billed for the data at a rather exhorbitant rate...

Hi,
I have ADSL modem, and I am trying to connect to the modem (via WiFi) and use internet on my HTC VIVA.
My internet connection requires authentication in order to connect. I can successfully connect to modem using Wifi connection. In order to connection to Internet, I added new VPN server from settings > Connections > Edit my VPN servers. I added all the credentials as provided by my ISP, however I am not able to connect to internet and access web pages from the Internet explorer of my device.
Please help me and let me know where I am going wrong?
Thanks,
You don't have to set your authentication data in your Viva.
All you need to do is connect to your ADSL modem using WiFi and start browsing the web. It should work correctly unless your ISP requires a proxy server.
Tell us what happens.
Hi GFX,
Thanks for replying. I connected to ADSL using WiFi, but when I open Internet explorer I get page not found.
When I was in US, I was able to access Internet as per your reply. But now I am in India and I am not able to access Internet.
Some of the differences that might help you or any other who would like to contribute
USA India
====== =======
ISP Comcast BSNL
Authentication WPA2-PSK Open
Data Encryption AES WEP
Thanks,
I'm not sure what's causing this.
Probably your ISP requires a proxy server. Can you connect to the internet using your PC??
The other thing is, your ISP has nothing to do with your ADSL modem authentication and data encryption modes! You can set these settings manually according to your personal needs. Read your ADSL modem user manual for more information.
A WPA2 authentication is recommended so you can protect your modem & internet connection from outsiders and hackers.
Check your ISP's website to see if they require a proxy server. And tell us about your ADSL modem brand and model so we can help you.
My ISP does not require proxy server, and I can connect to Internet using my PC. I am able to connect to my ADSL modem but somehow I am not able to connect to Internet.
Following are the details of my ADSL modem
Brand: Huawei
Model: WA1003A
Its an ADSL router.
Thanks,
OK, please check the following settings in your device:
1- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Connections-> Advanced tab-> tap on "Select Networks", and check that the first dropdown menu says "My ISP".
2- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters tab, and check that the first dropdown menu says "The Internet".
If you made any changes to the above settings, try to reconnect to the modem once again, it may work this time.
However, if you left the above settings unchanged then your problem lies somewhere else. Check if you can access the internet using Opera Mini, or try connecting to another router. Because we need to determine the source of the problem.
Good luck.
have you simply tried connecting via wifi with default settings?
when you switch on wifi, once the network is detected, you can feed in the values then right? sorry if this seems like a stupid answer but we often miss whats right under our noses,
Sorry for replying so late, was busy with lots of work for some time.
GFX: My connection settings are same as you mentioned. But even with these settings in place, no success.
karthiksk: I get connected to WiFi network, but after this I don't get any popup box in my device to enter the details.
Guys, however I got the solution, since my network uses PPoE, I had to configure these settings in my Modem. Earlier I was entering ISP credentials in an external PPPoE client on my PC, this way I can access Internet with only one PC at a time and WiFi was also not working.
I entered ISP credentials in my modem and configured PPoE settings. Now I can connect my PC (using Ethernet cable), my laptop using WiFi and my HTC device using WiFi at the same time.
Thank you all for helping me in trying to resolve this issue.
Good to see your problem solved.
Turns out it has nothing to do with your device!
Enjoy your Viva, it's a wonderful device.

This is a Windows Mobile and HTC VIVA forum, it is highly unlikely that you will get your solution here. and it is unsafe to post you mobile number.
I'm facing the same problem..it's not the ISP or modem..it's only & only viva...
It sucks badly...I purchased two different modem router..one of netgaer and other one of linksys...and the didn't work on both of them...wifi only works with the modem ZTE ZXDSL 531B
**** off viva...

I guess you need to setup yourr win7 to act as a DHCP or put manual IP to your milestone.
