Can't get online on Universal, either by Wifi or when synced

[eTiMaGo]

Hi All,

Got myself a Dopod 900 (HTC Universal) a couple of weeks ago in Singapore, very pleased with it, luckily my pants have large pockets :p

But... I can't get online by WiFi. GPRS works well enough, but i'd rather not have to pay data fees when I can avoid it!

Anyway I can connect to several different wirelss networks with various access points and routers, but can't open any website or log onto MSN. Connection to the access point is fine, IP address is provided by DHCP, but it looks as if the DNS server is not (even manually specifying the server does not help). When I open IE, the status bar shows Locating.... for about 15 seconds then I get a connection lost error.

And it's the same even if I'm running activesync (I could get online on my XDAII this way)...

So, has anyone experienced something similar or can point me to the obvious configuration that I missed, I would be mucho grateful. 8)

Well this gets stranger and stranger... After installign pocket mechanic I could verify that the DHCP lease was working properly, IP, DNS and gateways are all assigned properly. But, still no IE, still no MSN. Installed agile messenger for the heck of it, and although it gives a lot of connection error in the beginning, I am able to get on MSN.

So, any thoughts? I did a hard reset already, to no avail...

Situation solved, sorta... Installed Opera, works flawlessly... Seems pocket IE just does not like me :p

It's not just you.. I have the same problems... (You can see my msg in the Universal forum.. Same shit as yours. PIE and MSN would not work as well as any other internal prg using PIE's engine someway or another.. Third pary networking prg work though, dns is fine, ping is fine, name resolving fine.. i don't likw opera and wonder if you solved this weird problem..

Also if you can tell me the list of today plugins and programs installed you have.. i want to see if there's a correlation between your situation to mine...

thanks,
