budy wi-fi connection has some issues, that it gets connected with pc, or ppc, coz the connection settings are stored in router.. but as the connection remains down so IE wont work atall..and on wi-fi router u cant guess net connection is working or not.. check with ur net connection..

siouxNS,

I had similar problem on XDA IQ. WIFI was connected to the AP, but IE was stuck in 'locating', and after some time (about 1 minute) error message appeared. I noticed, that when pinging my phone IP from laptop (also in my home network) few pings were ok (just after wifi connected to the AP), and rest of them timeouted. Sometimes, but very rarely, all ping responses were ok (I used ping -t on windows).

So, what I did to get wifi connection working:
1. started IE, when wifi is off
2. started wifi
3. shortly after wifi connected to my AP, I opened some internet page in IE (try to use one, that is not cached) - and it worked
And this works for me every time now.

Few more things:
- check that IE uses the same connection, to which wifi is assigned.
- you can use WLAN IP manager to manually set your IP, gateway and DNS servers
- my system is: windows mobile 6, OS 5.2.318, build 15341.0.0.1

hey guys,

I have the same problem. just flashed the new v3.6, can connect to the router, can even ping the mobile from my laptop via wlan, but still get the no connection error - from IE and opera.

what can I do?

EDIT:

finally got it. just had to change the type of internet from 'private/work' to 'internet'. thats it. stupid comment about vpn under it confused me...
