I am having exactly the same problem as him. http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=93375


When attempting to enter the domain name during login to our office WAN I am unable to enter an underscore (_) in the domain name field. Bringing up the symbols window and selecting the underscore immediately aborts (or accepts) the settings screen without the underscore. I am totally frustrated! Without the ability to add the underscore into that field, the WI-FI is totally useless to me. Does anyone know of a way to type, cut/paste, an underscore without using the symbols pane? Any help would be appreciated.

What I am doing step by step:

After selecting the wireless router that I wish to connect to, I continue throught the Wi-Fi connection screens, first indicating the Network Type, then on the next screen, the Authentication and Data encryption settings, and so on... once I indicate that I am Finished, a connection to the router is made and I am required to log on to the network which requires a Username, Password and Domain. Our Domain includes an underscore (_) which I cannot find a way to enter. Domain name example "head_office"


I am using Samsung Blackjack i600 with WM5. I know how to select (_) but on the logon box when I press OK to select it, the logon box thinks that I am OK with the logon information! It is impossible for me to logon just becuz of the underscore!

Here is my wifi setting:
network type: internet
this is a hidden network: n/a
authentication: WPA
Data encryption: TKIP
use IEEE 802.1x network access control
EAP type: PEAP

You should try to Type the rest of the message Without the underscore and go back to were it underscore needs to be, and place it last, Or it could b(with the newer phone) it could be an issue were it automatically chages the _ to a space.

hope this helps :D if not :rolleyes: :mad: so idk hope this helps.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I'm having a similar issue with my i600/WM6. The wifi logon box disappears when I'm trying to type a symbol from the symbols table (required for my password). The solution above doesn't work, the OK button does nothing, the box is gone right after the symbols window appears. I'd appreciate any help.

just hold down the # key mate, and a special character menu will pop up, select the underscore from there
