Okay, any help on this would be massively appreciated!
I have an XDA IIs, and a Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router. After some initial farting around the two now talk happily to one another and I can browse the web on my lovely black brick.
So far so good.
Now for the bad part. My girlfriend just got an XDA Mini S.
Using the exact same settings as the IIs, the phone won't connect. It finds my wireless network, and I chose connect to The Internet (same as on the IIs). No joy. In wireless settings the status of the connection simply says Availalbe. Then I hit connect, it says connecting, then it goes right back to available.
Here's what I've tried with no joy...
* Phoning O2. They have no idea, say there's no official ROM update either and it ain't their problem. Grrr.
* Tried disabled all security and firewall.
* Tried WEP and WPA security with the right keys entered in the Mini S. (Can get the IIs to work on all of these)
* Turned of MAC filtering.
* Turned on MAC filtering with the Mini S MAC address on the allow list.
* Updated the firmware on the router to the very latest (December 05) version
* Hard reset the phone, reinstalling in 'personal' mode, then in 'basic' mode.
* Tried connecting to Work instead of the Internet. (Obviously not going to work but I'm getting desparate by this point)
* Turned the routers protected mode to Off and to On
* Set up the router as a basic access point with no security or firewall at all.
* Tried manually assigning an IP address to the phone.
All to no avail. I've seen others with similar problems elsewhere here and on the web with no joy. Its a real pain as she only got the phone for the wireless capabilities and my flipping PSP is better at the job than her brand new PDA!
She's threatening to break something (possibly parts of the chief exec of O2s anatomy) unless I can fix it. As I don't want to have to visit her in Durham prison for the next few years does anyone have any suggestions!
Please!
PS noted that aside from the obvious differences in Windows Mobile versions between my IIs and her Mini S; my wireless network adapter is listed as "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet" and her's is listed as "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter". Its the only setup difference I can find.
