Wifi as Default.

[Madzilla]

I have been using this phone with DCD's rom for a while now and I have never really used wifi. I decided I want to stream some things (like TV, music and movies) from my home computer to my phone while im at work but I have very crappy service at my work and when i disconnect the data service and connect my phone to wifi all my programs say they cannot access the internet. HOw can I set it up so that my software will use the wifi by default and then use data service if wifi is off or disconnected? I have gone through all the settings and im at wits end! THanks for any help!.

Maybe my phone is unique, but it seems to always default to WIFI when it is on and connected. You could check by turning on WIFI and then trying to access something locally (like the WIFI router settings).

thats the problem. when i connect to my wireless router (or any wireless router) non of my internet apps work. then when i disconnect and use data service they work fine. I guess ill try to install the newest dcd rom and see how it goes

Go into settings and ensure you set your wifi connection as "The Internet" and not "Work" as if you set it to "Work" the applications won't work as they want an internet connection.

I figured it out. for some reason or another i must have set it to use a static network ip and not the DHCP provided address. its working now.
