Problem with internet sharing connection settings - General Questions and Answers

I apologize if this has already been addressed. I looked, but couldn't find anything.
Here's my problem. I have a Tilt 8925 and WMWifi Router. My internet sharing connection settings are through Media Net. I have used this connection method for many months. Well, today, I connected my laptop through the WMWifirouter and everything was fine for about 5 minutes. Then my connection was lost, and upon trying to re-establish my connection, I notice that the internet sharing connection is trying to connect through AT&T ISP or something like that. I have repeatedly tried to switch it back to Media Net, but it keeps kicking back to the ISP setting. I have no way of connecting through ISP so, what happened and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is related or not. I never really paid attention to these settings before, so I can't say. If I look under the wi-fi connections settings tab on my phone, it brings up Configure Network Adapters. It is set to Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Miniport.......under that there are a whole bunch of other things. If I try to change it to IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Ad......, it appears as if it accepts the changes, bbut I then go immediately back into the settings and it is back on the virtual ethernet setting. Shouldn't I be able to change it, and could this possibly be why I can no longer connect using the WMWifiRouter?
Any help at all, please???!!!!
Even just a response of I'm not sure is better than no response at all.

Help with internet since flashing

Hi all,
I try not to post too often, and just do a lot of reading and studying and learning.
Anyway, I am running MrFrazz's WM6aR2, and having an issue with active sync and my laptop. Everytime I try to connect to any wireless internet while active sync is running, I lose the connection and can not recover it. It runs fine if I have not hooked up the phone. Once I connect, thats it, and I have to reboot the computer to get it back. I just reflashed some other ROM's on my phone playing around, and did not like them, so I went back. Now it is doing this. Anyone out there think they canhelp me figure this one out?
On your computer go to the activesync app, click on file and then on connection settings and then check the box that says allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop.
It still does it even then. I have tried adjusting all of the setting. I am pretty computer competant, and dabble in programming, but this one has me stumped. Anything else I may be missing??
I think I miss read what your actual problem is. Is your phone losing it's wireless connection or is your laptop losing it? If your laptops the one that's losing its wireless connection then it sounds like it's having problem running 2 connections at once. This is just a shot in the dark and probably won't help at all, but try making your connection to you phone a static connection and leave your wifi connection dynamic or vice versa and see if that helps. If not, maybe deleting both of the connections and letting your laptop reinstall the connections might help. Like I said, both suggestions are just a shot in the dark, but there shouldn't be any reason that it wouldn't use both connections at the same time that I can think of unless it's trying to assign the same ip address to both connections but they shouldn't even be in the same range.

No internet via wifi?

Hi guys,
I've recently become the proud owner of a vodafone touch pro. However when connecting to wifi, opera etc will not find any webpages. Now i know my wifi is working and the phone connects fine and picks up the DHCP ip address.
What could I be doing wrong? I've noticed data connections is disabled but I believe this is just for GPRS etc? Either way how can I confirm my wifi connection is being used?
Many thanks
EDIT - NM it was because it was not set to work
Hi Scribe,
I had the same problem as yours. No solution so far. Had no problem with GPRS.
I have mine working good on either wifi or GPRS.
Probably it's wifi problem? Have you tried on another wifi connection?
what was not set to work?
I have the same issue, connects to wifi but no internet. laptop connects and browses fine, but touch pro (and also diamond) don't
Make sure when you set your wifi connection up you say that it is used to connect to work not the internet, also make sure your adapter settings say this.
The problem is that the phone will always default to GPRS/3G for the internet but if it senses a local work network it will use that first.
Stupid I know!
I have the same prob, I changed some settings and it works. Try change Authentication to Shared instead of WAP-PSK, Data Encryption to WEP instead of TKIP. After you have internet connection, you can change to previous wifi settings with same network key.
Mine has gone again! I swear it's because 'Connects to the internet' wont save in the proxy settings - nope not that and still wont work, I've also tried by disabling all security

WIFI problems related to WEP (and other encryptions) is hardware or software? HELP!!

I have spent the last week at work more focused on the XDA forum than what I am actually paid to do here at work...
I am so unproductive now, I am actually willing to donate to the forum if the forum can produce results, so that I can finally get back to work in peace!
I have thoroughly read through most relevant posts. I cannot find any specific post that solves the problem I have, so I decided to post anew, against some suggestions...
Anyway, the problem is that,
I cannot get any of my applications that are internet-dependent (skype, mail, weather etc) to access the WIFI connection that "apparently" looks connected, IF WEP (or any other encryption, for that matter) is enabled on the WIFI Router.
OK, what I mean by "apparently" is that the Wifi signal appears at its fullest, the lollipop on top of the screen with arrows is there, and even if I go into start>settings>Connections>wifi, it says that (my particular internet connection, named) Linksys is "connected".
The problem is, with wep encryption (and any other encryptions), it has worked once or twice. I cannot remember if that was before or after the Hard-SPL and radio downgrade (to get it unlocked) but ever since that "beginners luck" connection, I have had no success with connecting these apps to internet through WIFI.
First of all, I cannot figure out why, but I can connect by
1/ GPRS (the only available here in Vietnam - no 3G /HSDPA yet),
2/ with open connection and no encryptions of any kind by the WIFI router, my WIFI and Raphael connects fine. Data transfer happens.
The reality is, it is not very realistic for me to ask all others at work to make their WIFI connection with no security or encryptions..
So, having explained the situation, in a nutshell, problem is that by enabling excryption like WEP, the connection does not allow me to use WIFI on my raphael.
Is this hardware or software on Raphael side? or is it WIFI router side?
Other devices, including my TyTn II connects fine with WEP, which rules out the router, right?
I cannot remember if the problem started before or after OliPro unlock...
If it worked before but not now, there is of course always the possibility of hardware mulfunction, but since it works with no encryption, I am guessing it is hardware?
I have gone to other WIFI networks that are healthy, with other hand held devices happily connected to WIF, but nope...not me...
Any ideas guys?
WRT54G2 Wireless_G Router
DHCP Enabled,
Wireless network mode is set at mixed (both G and B, but by the way, I have tried only G and only B too, with no luck)
Channel set at 1, SSID enabled.
WM 6.1
ROM 3.14.731.04 JPN
Radio 1.10 Olinex
Protocol 52.35.25.21H
AFAIK, Raphael connects to WEP, WPA, WPA2(TKIP/AES)...
did you try deleting all the wifi settings and reconnecting?
or hard reset?

I completely understand what you are going through & I am going to suggest something for you but the results might vary.
Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned off.
Open your Comm Manager | Settings | Wireless LAN.
When you're in the Wireless LAN Settings panel, select Power Mode.
Slide the selector to Best Performance.
Tap OK & when you're back in the Comm Manager, turn on the Wi-Fi adapter.
Setup your work connection & see if your internet connections work.
One thing to note, while this has resolved my connectivity problems, the settings are not always saved for some unknown reason.
So, be prepared to key in the settings again.
I resorted to everything , not leaving anything to chance, and did many things at once.
It is now fixed, it seems, but at great cost in terms of time, and I cannot be sure which one of these was actually helpful.
But I hard-reset the TP, as well as updating the firmware on both the modem and the WIFI router, and then did hard reset on them too...
I cannot judge on what turned out to be true on other peoples' TP, but for me at least, for both TyTn II and Touch Pro I am currently using, setting connection from "internet" to> "Work" did not help at all....
Thanks anyways...

Problem with internet sharing and wi-fi router

I've got hd2 from virgin mobile. Till today wi-fi router worked ok, but now after launching I can't see it in wireless networks on my laptop even though program states is ready to accept connections. Internet sharing never worked, after pressing "connect" it grays out for 3 seconds and stays disconnected. I've used internet sharing previously on HTC HD with no problems though. So I don't know if it's a network problem or something else. I haven't used my data limit yet, so that is not the case. Using internet from the phone also isn't a problem. I would really appreciate some help.

[Q] touch pro wifi won't connect to unsecured network!

HI,
My raph100 won't connect to even an unsecured open network! I've searched and searched and tried:
selecting 'best performance'
manual ip/gateway setting etc
new rom
using advanced config to disable wpa authentication
xdandroid
the 'configure wireless connection settings' finds my network, changes to 'connecting' and then after a while goes back to 'available'
i really don't know what else to do. i bought second had on ebay but fear i won't be able to get a refund.
i will look for some kind of hardware diagnostic tool to try and prove it's faulty.
i've seen that alot of people have this problem but solutions only work for some. lame.
hi again,
i plugged in a new access point to my router and set it up using another channel. touch pro connected no problem and i even used wep. however, for unrelated reasons i did a hard reset and now it won't connect again?!
this is driving me crazy any ideas?
Hi again,
I connected a new access point to my router and set it up with a different channel. Touch pro connected fine, even with wep. however, for unrelated reasons i did a hard reset and now i get the same problem as before!!
This is driving me crazy any ideas?
here is the relevant part of the log from my router
