WLAN, Networking, Domains, Internet - OH, MY!

[ScottK]

Please excuse the "Wizard Of Oz" referrence - it's been a long day :o

I am the very proud owner of a T-Mobile Wing / HTC Herald running WM6.

I'm a fairly-experience Network Technician & Computer Tech with over 25 years of experience...and I'M STUMPED!!!!

I have a NetGear WG602 v4 802.11b/g WAP that works great for other WiFi systems...but for some reason my Wing refuses to get me anywhere beyond the WAP.

I can connect-up to the WAP just fine: signal strength is great, proper SSID and 64-bit key is entered. All settings appear to be working and functional, but I can not get beyond that point. Firing-up IE gets me nowhere.

I can ping the WAP from my main system, but I can't ping the IP of the Wing.

Now, I take it that I use the LEAP under Start > Settings > Connections > WiFi Status to gain access to my LAN...right? Sadly, the instructions that came with this awesome PPC Phone don't go into Networking & WLAN setup.

Does ANYONE have suggestions, info, links, etc. that will help me out?

Thanks!

Make sure you disconnect any active EDGE/GPRS connections.
I'm at work right now so I can't really post of anything else since I'm in the middle of something at the moment... but I'll try to post after I'm done with this.

I'm having similar problems. Scott, are you still running the stock tmobile rom?

When I was stock my wifi worked fine.

Now that I've flashed my rom with touchflo I can't connect.

Same as you say. I can see my network but for some reason when I put my password in it doesn't connect. I've tried everything.....

Open communication manager
click settings
select wifi
select network adapters

my network card connects to: the internet


I had mine set to "work" and I had to beat my head on the wall for a while before I contacted tmobile for an answer.

Hope this helps.
