Hello xda forum, i've got a big problem. I get to connect to my wireless very smoothly, but if i want to access a password-less wireless (there's one in my school) it just connects me, but it seems like i cannot use anything. Not skyfire nor youtube application works, even though it shows that it's connected. If i use "random ip assigned by server" function, it just doesn't connect. Is there any program that sets up the gateway of every wireless you try to connect to?
Sorry for my crappy english, i hope someone will get what i mean.
sorry for this re-up, nobody could help me?
try opening your internet explorer, many locations require just hitting accept of their user policy. ive run into this as well, but opening a browser like opera or internet explorer should put you into a splash page for you to accept the locations user policy agreement.

I feel like a newb asking this question, but the Tilt doesn't have Internet Sharing like the roms for the 8525. The Wireless Modem utility doesn't work worth a chit. I've search for an hour to find a cab for installing Internet Sharing but I can't find it. Surely some of the masters here has come up with one.
Or could I just grab the exe file off my 8525 and run it with any "installing"?

SWEET! Thanks!!
Advantage? So far it is the best option for tethering my laptop. PDANet worked like a charm, but with Internet Sharing it's not need anymore.
I was trying to get the Tilt to work like a modem for a couple hours last night and it would disconnect every time it got to "Registering computer on network". I saw that Internet Connection Sharing (post 30) and gave it a go. Tethered like a charm, 768kbit down ~125ms latency.
The file \Windows\Internet Sharing.lnk contains this text:
41#:MSINTERNET_SHARING?:intshruiapp
And I just copied it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and can run it from there or the shortcut I created in the HTC Home plugin. You don't have to do anything on the PC to use it either, except have ActiveSync (I think it requires even less because activesync automatically disconnects when this is in use).
I cant get ICS to work on the Tilt. I get "cannot connect for unknown reason" error in ICS window. Any ideas?
Is your "Network Connection" set to MEdia Net? I have two things on my list, that and "AT&T ISP GPRS". If I try that one, it tries to connect a bunch of times then dies with the unknown reason thing.
It gave me that same message if I end-tasked ActiveSync on the PC, so I'd say make sure they both say connected before trying to connect the internet sharing.
Yes, its set to Medianet. Do I need to be connected to my laptop for this to work? I didnt think so.
swweeet i got it working thanks everyone

help with tethering
Hello everyone I did some of the applications last night on trying to setup my tether to my tilt but its not connecting. I could not find internet sharing to change those setting on download needed cab for it. My phone is set media net and have the correct ip and subnet gateway so what am I missing??
It seems AT&T was pretty successful in killing Tilt Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) with the introduction of 6.1. It was seamless until the upgrade, now it is not. Lotsa complicated workarounds been posted here for the past year and a half. I wish someone who is doing it successfully would post a set of step by step instructions. We novices keep sorting through all these posts on the subject and if there is light at the end of the tunnel, it needs a new bulb!! With data plans getting more and more lucrative for the carriers, tethering is getting more and more important, anyone got a simple answer?
Hey mates!
First of all I wanna wish you a hapy new year
Ok, now to my question.
I've got a HTC Touch HD a week ago.
I recognized that it establishes a data-connection without asking me.
When i'm using Wifi - no problem.
But as I don't have a data-flat that gets quite expensive, if I can't use Wifi (most of the time no wifi available).
Is it possible to set up Winmobile so that it asks me BEFORE establishing an data connection?
I didn't find any solutions, google didn't help me, too.
Of yourse I could just change the adresses in the settings.
e.g- "internet.t-mobile.de" to "internet.t-mobile.deXXX" ---> no connection possible.
But i want to receive and send MMS at any time, so that would not be possible any more.
I hope you can help me, thx.

try nodata
this should do what you need....i think
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
thx, but not really what i need.
With this programm i still have to close connections by hand.
I just want WinMobile to ask me BEFORE it establishes a connection.
For example: When I open an programm which tries to download something, a popup should appear
--->
Establish data-connection?
[ ]Yes
[ ] NO
I hope u understand my problem

No one with the same problem here and a solutuon?

I have the same problem with my Touch 3G (Jade). Turning the Data Connection off in the Main Touchflow settings tab helps but doesn't stop it completely. The worst thing is that doesn't seem to download anything but just connecting is enough to start costing.
I spoke to HTC today and they gave me a solution to this problem. Go to Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced and then Select Networks. There you should find a drop down tab with something like ******GPRS, where ****** is your network. Now now choose New and create a new connection name like "No GPRS" for example. Click OK.
You now have a title but no settings so when you select this one, the phone can't connect to the internet. It might attempt to connect but it won't go through. Don't worry about MMS as this uses a different set of settings and works perfectly (for me).
Hope this helps, Woolly.
Find what apps are creating the connection so you can prevent it. Spb Monitor should be able to show you that.
Using Modaco NoData (link given above) will just do the same saving your time (you don't have to create a fake connection set).
What schlitzohr1812 wants is a way to make WM ask for permission to connect. I haven't heard of anything like this, but if you assign a shortcut to NoData it's almost as easy as what you are looking for. By the way, despite the name, NoData will prevent WM from opening connections, not only to exchange data over them.
Just remember that if you disable the connection while it is already open, you still have to close it manually. Also beware that if in your Comm Manager you have an enabled "Data connection" button (on some phones it's always disabled when the connection is closed, on others it can be used to open it), that button WILL open a connection even if they are disabled.
Thx for helping guys, but "Black Antitoon" is right.
That's not exactly what I was searching for but better than nothing.
I'm used to my old nokia phone (N70) which asked me before.
Incomprehensible why Windows Mobile does not have such an option...

anybody wrote an app for this data permission yet please?
So I deleted the registry key that blocks the ATT Fuze from using "internet sharing" (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings\ “ForceCellConnection”) and have been able to get online through USB, in fact I'm posting this while tethered.
The problem is that now, when try to use the internet on the phone itself, it always gives a gateway error 504
any idea what settings may have been changed??? Or how I get rid of error 504?? the phone connects but the internet doesnt work
I would just restore the registry through a hard reset
Do I have to unlock the phone again after a hard reset?
Internet stopped working on phone, only thing that gets online is weather from tf3d and activesync
Ok
After a hard reset, I'm back to square 1, internet explorer and opera keep getting error 504 gaateway timeout, but I'm using the phone internet sharing to post this....whats going on????
Im using an unlocked Fuze on Tmobile network using the internet2.voicestream.com APN
Am i the only one with this problem???
I thought I may have ****ed something up when I was trying to do internet sharing, I tried to sue ICScontrol app, but like I said. I did a hard reset and it still giving me gateway error 504
My email and activesync work fine, I can even get online through internet sharing....but not on the actual phone!!!
I talked to tech support and they were no help, I tried all the tmobile APNs but no luck, oddly enough the internet did work on my unlocked Iphone
What's going on?? Should I flash a new rom??
I'd be willing to bet that it's an IP address issue. I had the same symptoms after some problems with programs that automatically configured the phone's network adapters (which ICSControl does). Why a hard reset didn't fix it I can't even begin to imagine, though. My problem was that in the network adapter settings the phone was assigned a static IP on one of the adapters (I don't recall which one). I changed it to acquire an address from the server and was able to get back online.
Im still having this issue
Im connected through internet sharing right now, email works on phone and activesync works
but when i try to use a web app or browser, it times out
where can i check to "get ip from server??"
I upgraded to a newer rom and still same issue, dont know whats going on and im going crazy
someone please help

Start>Settings>Connections Tab>Wi-Fi>Network Adapters Tab
Select the network adapter and select "Use server-assigned IP address".
As I said before, I don't recall which network adapter was giving me trouble. Definitely hit the wifi adapter and the NDIS adapter(s). To be honest, though, if you've done a hard reset and even changed ROMs it doesn't sound like this is your problem (unless you keep recreating the problem somehow).
Turns out it was a server side error from tmobile
I was finally able to reach an english speaking tech and he had me change the APN to the VPN service apn and just added that to my line, he said a lot of people were having this problem
There are som things I find pretty annoying about the HD 2....
First of all, where does the E-mails I read end up? When I have read them for the first time and continue to use the phone for some time, they just disappears!
Another thing is that I don't feel I have controll over which connection the phone is using at all time. I don't know weither or not it uses the 3g nett or wifi connection. And I haven't found any way to select this in the Opera browser(good browser though)
Is there pherhaps some program that keeps track of megabytes downloaded via the 3g nett or wlan. I fear for my phone bills
The last issue is about proxy. At my school, they use a proxy server. That means that when I use my laptop, I have to log on the wireless connection, logg on with username and password, set firefox to "automaticly detect proxy" or something(my browser language is norwegian), then restart the browser.
Is there any way I can adjust proxy settings?
Thats a lot of text, hope my english is not too bad
Thanks for replys

Can anyone help me with how to configure proxy settings?
Just got my Samsung Captivate about a month and I got my wifi connected to the school network, but when i open the broswer or any apps need internet i didnt get any connections? at the first week it works.. and when connecting to the school wifi it should be come out with the school login page,, then the internet will work.. however the wifi is connected doesnt matter how strong the wifi singal is.. it just cant load and cant bring me to the login page..
I really need help..
and the wifi works everywhere.. except my school...
btw my friends iphone 3gs works..
I am also at college and have had the same problem. the best reason I have found is the phone itself. half of our wifi is an older standard that does not work on the phone. it shows up as wep and i can not get it to recognize it as 802.1x . in my tinkering I have also messed up the wifi that was working.
long story short it probably won't work. I have spent a long time trying to get it to work with no luck

Hello to both of you,
I also attend a college with an 802.1x connection and the captivate supports most of these networks; however you will probably need to configure the network settings manually (usually retrievable on your schools IT site). If you dont mind digging up your settings I would love to check to see if I can configure your phone.
FYI, you might be having a problem similar to what's seen in this post.
http://androidforums.com/captivate-support-troubleshooting/142397-odd-netmask-issues-wifi.html
I definitely had this problem today. It appeared connected but no web pages would load. Going to have to investigate further. Why can't things just work
I know my school recently implemented some new security certificates that you must agree to before logging in, has anything like that changed for you? My wife's Aria is running 2.2 and can log into the school network, but my captivate cannot. It is frustrating I know.
Seems some colleges and universities are noticing issues with android devices letting the DHCP leases to expire but keeps using the IP address assigned instead of requesting a new one.
See the following links.

I actually have similar issues with my Belkin wireless router at home. My laptops and other wireless devices have no problems connecting or re-connecting but the Captivate just refuses to re-connect after the connection was terminated. Even after resetting the router, the phone just keeps trying to use the same IP address for some reason.
The only way I could get it to reconnect is to either reboot the phone or to remove the AP entry which is a pain especially if you have wireless passwords.
Hopefully someone with better insight into how Eclair and Froyo handles WiFi can come up with some fix.
more solutions?
I believe the new 2.2 firmware solves this issue. I too am at College and my captivate FAILS to actually access the internet through wifi unless I statically assigned the IP.
I just updated to Froyo and it connected instantly. I'll have to do more testing to make sure, but I think Samsung finally fixed it.
captivate wifi issue at school
i just got Galaxy S (Captivate) and wi-fi is giving trouble.
when i tried at a university campus, it gives error and says can't open and try again later. it is like, i get connected to the network, IP and DNS and everything is generated. But when i open browser to open a website, instead of taking me to login page it gives the above error.
here is what i get when i try to open a website.
'web page not available'. the page might be temporarily down or it may have been moved permanently to new address.
here are some suggestions:
- check to make sure device has signal and data connection. (I made sure it is connected to wifi)
- reload page later. (i tried after 5 mins, same result)
- view cached copy from google. (doesn't work either)
i am not able to understand why is this happening. i tried restarting the phone after connecting to wifi but no luck. any pointers?
Sounds like they use a portal system which requires logon and doesn't play nice with the Captivate's browser. Unfortunately many such portal systems are written poorly and I've even seen some that only work with Internet Explorer.
You could try a different browser on the Captivate. Dolphin allows spoofing assorted User Agents, which might help.
Hey guys, I have the same problem connecting to m school's network login page. It would say connected but the website always says cant be found. But the good news is that I found a way to connect to it manually! What you need is your captivate and friends iphone 4 or 3gs. First have use your friends iphone to connect to the wifi and then go into wifi settings. You should see 2 DNS address, Ip address, netmask (subnet mask) and router address. Now jot those addresses down except the ip address. Go to settings->wireless and network->Wi-Fi settings->now tap the bottom left button under the samsung logo and click advanced. Now check use static ip. Do not enter anything for your ip address just yet (we will do this last). Now enter router address into gateway, subnet mask into netmask, DNS1 to DNS1 and DNS2 to DNS2. ok when you are done click back and tap the network you want to connect to. Once you are connected jot down your ip address by taping the network once more. now go back to where the static ip was and input the ip address you just jot down into the ip address underneath use static ip. Disconnect and reconnect to the desired network. You may have to do this a few times or reboot your phone. This has been working for me so far around different buildings but with the same school network connection. I hope this helps cheers!

Yeah, my school uses the Bradford dissovable agent. Funny thing is, some connections work perfectly, others not at all. Technically none should work, and sometimes I feel that maybe I should tell them that sometimes somehow it is possible to bypass the whole agent thing- but why rock the boat just yet
Does it need a proxy to work? If so, this app is amazing.

I figured it out a month ago, and it is actually petty easy. But you really have to change ip address manually, usually just the last number.
