[Q] Lost Ability to Access WiFi Spots Using DHCP

---

Until yesterday I have been successful in connecting to various WiFi hot spots, now I have to use a static IP to connect to the very same two WiFi hot spots. Using dynamic addressing my tablet cycles "authenticating, obtaining IP address etc." and never successfully connects. When I use static IP, the connection is instanteneous. I have tried recycled power to one of the WiFi hotspots without any change. Also, I have been successful in connecting another device to the WiFi router successfully suggesting the problem is with my tablet. The table otherwise works fine.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Lost DHCP over WiFi

---

I just found the following (timely) posting forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18708-dhcp-timeout-over-wifi and will investigate whether that would be cause of my recent problem since I had just downloaded another version of busybox.

I have the same issue but from makin my laptop the hotspot n connecting tab to that, but I use Connectify for the hotspot and itworks with connecting, just not all the time.

When it doesn't, have to forget the connection then re-connect, usually fixes it. I don't think its ur tablet though, ive experienced this with every rom I've tried(tnt stock, tntlite 4.25, vegan froyo and ginger experimental)

Hope this helps

No it does not help since your problem does not resemble mine.

Problem solved after updating busybox to working version. Apparently a version of busybox lacked certain programs needed by the DHCP client.

More info on updating busybox please?
