Wireless Internet Connection problem

CANNOT CONNECT TO WIRELESS ROUTER
I own an unlocked Siemens SX66 with Windows Mobile 6.5 installed. I had no problems with it but recently I cannot connect to my home wireless network or to any other wireless connection. I went in to "Settings" and clicked on "Configure Network Adaptors" to check the "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet" setup and saw the following settings:
The "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and on the IP address column this information was entered and cannot be edited..
IP address: fe80::209:2dff:fe1
I tried to delete it but like I said, it cannot be edited or deleted. Is there any way I can take this out? I believe this is the reason why I cannot connect to my wireless router at home since my router cannot assign an IP address to it.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion that you can pass on to me

Another wifi problem.

Hi everyboy, I have an Blue Angel with WM6.5.3 from sun_dream. I can't connect to my home wifi or any wifi. I configured my router like this:
DHCP off
Wirless all
WPA-PSK
TKIP
64bit
I can't connect even to open wifi accespoints(hotspots).
I start the wirelss manager, tap on wirelss on and after that the wireless network appears. I click connect and nothing happens. In the network manager the connectios is available, i click connect, it says connecting and than again it says available.(any hot sopt or the home network, for that at home i entered the mac into the router and have written the ip an dns to the phone wirelss card)
Pleas help, it is a great phone i like it but this is the only problem i have.
PS: I even commanded an bluetooth gps unit. Is there any way to change the hardware and install an "g" wireless card?

Shouldn't DHCP on your WiFi router be set to 'On' and also for the phone as well. It will select an IP address for your device, which will then pick it up.
Otherwise you will have to allocate an IP address on the router, and then set the phone to the same address. If they don't match it won't work
It's a lot easier to let DHCP do all the donkey work. In most public areas DHCP is used as it is a 'Start it and forget it' system.

I set dhcp off because i assign an ip adress to every pc manualy and even have an mac filter where again the ip is written. I set the same ip on the phone as i had written it in the router config.
I can't acces even public wireless spots. I have the problem that it says the connection is available and then it says connecting and instead of connected it says avaialble.

[Q] How to set a fixed IP address

How to set a fixed IP address

Go to your WiFi settings. Where you have your list of WiFi networks, push and hold the network you want to have static IP on. After a second or two, a dialogue comes up where you can Forget network or Modify network. Select Modify Network. In the settings you have one that is called "IP settings", currently configured to DHCP. Select static in that menu and then you will be able to fill in all the details for your static address (IP, Netmask, Gateway, DNS servers, Netmask). Note, the netmask is called Network prefix length and you specify how many bits that are locked rather than the normal "255.255.255.0" syntax.

thanks, man

I have a vibrant T959 and was wondering if I set it to have a static IP address, what else does it affect on the workings of the phone. I am using the phone to give me a wifi hotspot and then I am using the signal to send to my MoFi wireless router to give my FTA satellite reciever the internet but I don't want my IP to change evey time I turn off my wifi hotspot. My FTA reciever needs a constant IP address. Thanks for any help you can give me. I am new to a lot of this.

Thanks a lot, I just bought the eee Pad and in my way setting things..

IP address changer

Hi,
Could you send me link where I can download
App which can change IP address if exist?
Thanks

if you need to change the adress of your Wifi connection, simply go to your wifi settings, do a long press on the network and select "edit". Here you can change the IP Adress.

No, I need to configure manualy IP address because WIFI AP doesnt give IP addresses and I am not administrator of this AP and its company wifi.
Exist this program ?

you should be able to connect to the Wifi AP. Once done, it should either provide you with an IP via DHCP, or if this is indeed disabled as you say a zeroconf ip. If it's DHCP you don't seem to be able to modify the IP, but for zeroconf:
select the wifi network in your wifi setting, press and hold it, select "edit". Right under "proxy on/off" you should be able to edit your IP Adress, subnet mask and gateway adress as well as your DNS Servers.

Your advice it's nice bul****. If you are connected to wifi
you can allow only proxy server if you edit selected
wifi network and nothing else.
I ment program which allows me change ip address before
I log to wifi network.
I hope thats clear.

No its not clear man ...
Why you want to change the ip of your phone to a static one for all networks yoy log in...
When your phone finds the network you want to log in connect to the net providing the password ... then after connecting and not haviing an ip address, keep the name of the network pressed with your finger and there you can change the ip address..

Did you try this yourself?

Did you try this yourself, and it worked? If yes, I wonder big time because that's exactly what did not work for me and my HTC Radar at my home Wifi network: Without a DHCP server running on the Access Point (no need for, only static IP addresses in use) the phone did not connect, just hang for a minute or so and then timed out. Only after I activated a DHCP server to dish out an IP to the phone it connected.

suppose(and this case is real in my case and applies to me..) u r not the admin of wifi router(u r nt connection owner) and u r in ur school and u want to connect to school wifi..but the router connects to only a limited set of ips..network admin has disabled dhcp server as in my ase..without preconfiguring the ip address before connection, u cant connect to ap..thats tragedy..dont think, oh i have never undergone such circumstances and ur network admin is a jack***..i know but i am helpless in this situation..all my classmates and my seniors are android device owners..so network admin doesn't change all settings just for helping a single person(at least in india..they ll ask u to use internet through library computers like dumbasses..)
THIS SUBSTANTIATES THE NECESSITY OF A FEATURE WHICH ALLOWS U TO SET A STATIC IP BEFORE LOGGING INTO ACCESS POINT..
also this feature helps to prevent all the little more work consuming process of logging into router, assigning static ip to ur device, and getting the static ip on device from router itself(but still thats DHCP only)..

Try Hotspot Switch IP. Is a free android app which allows you to change IP automatically by timer, remotely via web server, and also you can do it in app. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hotspot.wifi.change.ip&pli=1

[Q] Bypassing Apt Complex WiFi Splash Page

Hello all,
I've recently moved to an apartment complex with very good community wifi. However, upon connecting to the wifi, I am redirected to a splash page where I input my apartment username/password. This is okay for my PC and android devices but not so good for my PS3, dvd player, and Google Chromecast. I've been looking for a way to bypass this splash page. I have a Linksys E1500 with DD-WRT installed that I think will be helpful in this endeavor. I've found a couple of options online such as:
1) Connect to wifi on PC, then connect PC to router, and activate internet connection sharing -> I tried this but it wasn't working. I wasn't sure what mode my router should be in (AP, client, bridge?) or what local connection to set it to; The instructions weren't clear. Also, I would like to have my own private network fed from the public network.
2) Use router as repeater -> I tried this as well but it didn't really work. I could get Google home page to load but then everything else would say "SSL connection error". I wasn't sure what to do at that point. Instructions were:
"Hard reset the router, then configure the router to 192.168.2.1 and mask 255.255.255.0. Next go to status/wireless and find the AP you want...and click join. When the screen changes to the wireless page, change the dropdown to 'repeater', add virtual interface with new SSID, hit save. Go to Security tab and uncheck everything under Block WAN, save, apply changes. Power cycle then go to basic router setup, assign WAN port to switch, enter opendns for your static DNS as follows
static dns 1 208.67.222.222
static dns 2 208.67.220.220
Then in services tab for dnsmasq put this line:
strict-order
hit save, apply settings again."
3) Use router with DD-WRT to create a tunnel through openVPN -> I didn't know how to configure this and couldn't find instructions.
4) Buy a travel router -> I want to save money so I would like to avoid this option if I can... People claim it works for their hotel splash pages but I don't know if it'll work with mine.
I might have done something wrong during my setup procedures; I can't say for sure. I would gladly try again if someone wants to walk me through the process/troubleshoot. My overall goal is to get my own network set up from the community network without having to deal with the splash page. I hope this is possible. If anyone knows another method I could try, let me know.
My apt complex specs are:
SSID: apartmentcomplex
Security type: none
IPv4: 192.168.1.156
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Splash page is: 192.168.1.1:8000
I appreciate the help.
