I am having the same problems. I cannot use the internet on my XDA2s through WIFI or connecting directly through my laptop via Bluetooth.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a DHCP problem.

Have a look at your IP and the DNS (and maybe even the gateway) of your PDA and see if it's set correct.

Now do the same with a working system with a internet connection.
In windows, Klik on start and select "Run"
Now type: cmd and klik on OK,
Now type: ipconfig /all

You should see the used IP, Subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers.

All should be the same on your PDA EXCEPT the last part of your IP!

I am having a similar problem.

When I got the set, I set up WEP encryption on it. It didnt work. The connection was live but no browsing.

I then found out I had an incorrect WEP key on the set. I changed it and then it started working.

Now, with the correct wep key and all, its not working for me either.

What can be wrong?

well guys it could be a fluke

but this is what i have done and this is what worked for me

1. I completely reset the blue angel (reset switch and off button together)

2. THat reestablished the wifi connection

3. I went to the home page of my router set up and after perusing it a while i went to wireless security and turned it off

4. restarted wifi connection on the bluey and wham bam..straight online

5. I could not remember my wep key so i opted for turning off wireless security although i still have it passowrd protected


Dunno if it will work for others but it has for me and im run ning a buffalo router witht he blue angel

HOme system is broadband

Well I always managed to connect to my access point to get internet to my BA with WEP enc. enabled. But my problem is I can't get the IE works when I try to connect to my other PC that provides WI-FI as well but this time via Activesync :S why :?

ramram,

If you haven't done it yet, download vxUtil (http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html) & vxIPconfig (http://www.cam.com/vxipconfig.html); they're very useful for diagnosing connectivity issues.
