does NE1 have the answer to wifi not connecting to the net

[robboy]

im trying to get an internet connection through my wifi connection. i have done search's and lots of people seem to be asking the same question but nobody has the answer.

at the moment i can access my c: using an application called Resco explorer. but i can not connect to the internet. im not sure what setting i should have on the wifi manger and on my pc. im also using AOL as my isp.


PLS PLS help :lol:

Edit:
also i can not connect to activesync (version 3.8.0) via wifi. maybe if i was able to connect to this the internet would work as it does when its docked??????

I got mine working but setting my wireless network adapter to connect to "Work".
Under Settings>Connections>Tasks>Manage existing connections>Proxy Settings> check the "This network connects to the internet" box
then
Under Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network" (and the same with one for private network)

Also in your active sync settings, make sure your connection settings allow network (Ethernet) and RAS connections.

From previous research around this, i'm pretty sure you can only use the internet pass through under "WORK" settings only.

*thought i'd better register and contribute as i've gained a fair bit from this forum. :D

Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings.

Have you checked if you're getting an IP address from your Wireless Router's DHCP server? Also DNS settings and Gateway address should be there.

You can check this easily by using vxUtil (free ;))

these are my settings:

tiacxwln1 - tiacxwln compatible wireless

Ip address 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1
primary DNS 192.168.0.1
secondary dns
primary wins
seconfdary wins
DHCPs server 192.168.0.1

under serial usb

IP address 192.168.55.101
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.55.100
primary DNS 127.0.0.1

Getting this error when I tried to allow my broadband connection to share with my wifi connection. If I unplug the wifi connection and try and share with another network I don’t get any errors.

Internet connection sharing (ics) cannot be enabled due to IP address conflict on the network. ICS requires the host be configured to use 192.168.0.1 please ensure that no other client on the network is configured to use 192.168.0.1

hmmm ... ever had the same problem. all devices are able to connect to the same router except mine sx66.

then i change the router's channel to '1' .. tada .. now everyone is connected. it might sounds silly, but it worked for me.

try changing your ap wireless channel.

i found the problem with activesync 3.8 and 4.0 somehow, so i reverted back to 3.7, now wifi can sync.

afaik, connecting to internet has nothing to do with activesync. its a direct connection to wifi router. use work location and check the proxy settings if u hv any? (at home i use connect to internet without proxy, at work i use connect to internet with proxy).

Also, for Activsync with wifi, make sure that the WINS server address is that of yr PC u want to sync with.
