What rom are you using, and what version of WiFi Tether?
Also can you be more descriptive of the problem, are you unable to see the wifi broadcasted from your phone on your computer?
PS i have seem WiFi tether be a bit buggy on some roms, or maybe its just particular versions of wifi tether that cause it, to where you have to go into, and then back out of airplane mode after you start the tether. Have you tried this?

you can try downloading this version and installing it
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_2.apk
I still don't understand. Can you connect to the phone with a computer?
1. You can either connect to the phone over wifi, but don't have internet on your PC
2. You can see the phone as a wireless network, but trying to connect fails
or
3. You can't see the phone as a wireless network.
I know your typing on your phone, but it would make it easier for us to help you if you could give more specific information and used punctuation. I don't expect perfect grammar, but atleast use some periods every now and then. Your sentences run together and I cant tell what your saying. No hard feelings though
EDIT, after re-reading your posts a few times, I think your saying you can connect over WiFI to your phone after you enable Wireless tether, and it all seems good, but you don't have an internet connection on your PC; the wireless tether app never shows any data transferred either direction? If this is the case, open the app, start the tether, connect to it with your PC. Then, on your phone, press menu, then select "Show log", and lets see what it says.
Good luck =)

ok so i tryed and the log said it was all done but it wonk work at all. so heres the deal ill try to explain it again. ok so i open it up (on every rom with it PRE installed so it should deff work) it says installing files for it. when its done i press the green button, it asks for super user and i press always allow. then at bottom were it should say the down is 0.~ and up is 0.~ it stays at o.o and in my taskbar were it should show im using 3g it doesnt at all. so its like the app cant find the 3g im using or something of that sort. its hard to explain this since i dont understand why it wont work. lastly is there a Cretan pri or anything like that i need to run this?
Looking at the task bar in the first post it shows you are connected to 3g, going from left to right in the pic you attached I see:
Battery(or memory?) % indicator, Wifi Tether icon,Location indicator icon(blue circle with crosshairs), 3g Icon that looks like this (3G), Signal strength bars(2), circular orange battery indicator( only partially visible because battery is low, and the clock.
Did you try the newer version linked to above?
Try the newer version if you haven't, also..
open wifi tether, press menu, go to setup...
be sure bluetooth is not checked,
turn off wifi-Encryption
try changing the SSID
try changing the channel
Disable access control
Does your computer say it connected successfully?
Lets be sure its actually connecting properly. We'll be sure its getting its IPaddress from the phone, and not trying to use default windows ip or no IP
From your computer, go to start->run then type in CMD, press enter.
from there, type ipconfig, and see what your IPv4 Address is.
You may want to uninstall the app completely either through the phone or using adb. Then download this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk&can=2&q=HTC+Donut and move it to your tools folder in the sdk.
From command prompt type
Code:
adb install wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk
Also once you start the wireless tether app can you see it from your computer. You might want to make sure you are choosing the correct network. Some of the wireless apps have AndroidTether as the network name and some have G1Tether. Once you click the correct one you should feel your phone vibrate after it is connected, somewhere between 5 and 20 seconds and in your drop down menu it should say it is connected.

GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!! now it says unable to start rawr i quit lol
Uninstall that version, put 1.6 back on. Turn tether on, then connect from your computer. Then back on your phone, press menu, then access control, and when you see a computer info pop up in that menu, click the check box beside it for good measure. Then give it about a minute or so, then try to connect. See, it may not be the app itself. Go into network connections on your computer, right click the wireless network adapter icon, go to properties. Where it says ip v4, click that and go to settings I believe, then click automatically get ip address. Press ok. Then disconnect from your hero tether and re tether.

Ok, So I was having this same exact problem and still from time to time do. I can connect my pc to it and it is connected but everytime I open the web browser its say the page cannot load, please check internet connection and try again. So after some searching around I found that this worked for me.
1.) start Wifi tether
2.) connect pc to new wifi network (default name "AndroidTether")
3.) on phone while in wifi tether (dont back out or close app) push and hold the phone off button to bring up the power menu
4.) Select Mobile network to disable the connection
5.) repeat last 2 steps but this time to re-enable the connection.
6.) close browser on computer and open back up... and...
Presto!!! internet connected and working great.
Dont know why it does this but it is a good work around.
Hope it helps and works for you as it did for me.

it sounds like you forgot a couple of steps... after it asked you for SU permissions and you clicked always allow, it should then be connected..
BUT you have to click menu on your phone, then click access control. make sure your phone says "Access-Control is enabled." if not click "Enable"
Now don't back out on ur phone or anything.. leave it with this menu up..
On you computer pull up your wireless networks, and if your using version 1.60 pre3 then you will see G1Tether. Click to connect.. (make sure ur not connected to any other network at the time and if u are disconnect that first)
once you have connected to G1Tether on your computer, wait about 30 secs and on your phone, in that same menu that u left open, under Access-Control is enabled, it should now have a dialogue that says Connected/Authorized Clients and should have you credentials. MAKE SURE u tick the box. Then click on menu from ur phone and click Apply Settings.
after that u should be connected...

If anyone wants a completely bug-free wireless tether:
1. make a folder called android.tether on your SD card.
2. Unzip the file below into that folder.
3. Download the newest Wireless Tether from the market.
4. Enjoy bug free tethering.
Any one know how to reset ur wire less setting. Im haveing a ip address conflic I guess at work. Wont pull any internet . Problem is I have no way of changing it on work computer. So I need a diff ip adress.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I would think turning it off and back on should do it...Should grab a new ip address..that or statically map one. The DHCP server should be checking for an ip before giving you one so I think that just turning it off and on should fix it.
Tried that and tried forgetting but same ip .105.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Maybe try removing the network and adding it again will help.
D its see remove network but see forget network. That dont help either.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ok stilk no luck. Downloaded wifi static from market to change ip address and stil no luck. Either I don't know how to use the app or phones messed up on this router.
But I have the exact same router and can connect fine at home.8.8mbs at home
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Well..the DHCP has the ip associated with your MAC address so everytime you turn on the wireless it asks the dhcp server for an address and the dhcp says..o hey I have one here already for you. If you turn off the wireless can you still ping the address? If so then the dchp may be set up wrong and not checking for dupes before giving the address out.
How would I ping my phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
O sorry no..I meant turn off the wireless on the phoine the go to a computer and ping the address from there. But..if you said it was a duplicate ip address ill just take your word. No idea then.
To the OP,
What's happening to your device? Are you able to successfully connect to your WiFi but not get any Internet data (browse the web, search YouTube, or use any programs that require internet)? Are you getting an error message saying there is a conflict?
This happened to me yesterday. While I didn't get any error messages, my Cap's WiFi was able to connect to my company's wireless router. However, I could not get online, search YouTube, update my Daily Briefing or use any programs that require the internet. It says it's connected however I'm not getting any internet data. I touch "Forget" and try again several times. I even did a factory reset and still no-go. I called Samsung and they put me through Level 2 Support. While waiting on the phone with the tech, it finally worked for no reason. I was dumbfounded with the tech. Weird!!!
Addendum: When I couldn't connect to my company's WiFi with WPA/WPA2 PSK, I went to another office to connect to an unsecured WiFi. It worked. I got on the internet. My WiFi with WEP at home works. However, the problem was with my company's WPA/WPA2 PSK security WiFi. I'm not sure if the security has something to do with the issue.
got it solved..seems I wasent using the wifistatic program correctly.
Also no security at work just open connection.
If some one needs the steps I used I can post later when I get home.

Please post your steps. This would be very useful. I am having similar problems at work wifi and I dont think it is the Captivate that has the issue.
Srry had stuff come up yesterday.
Any way download wifistatic from market. Make sure ur are seeing a access. Open wifi static and add config. It will set all settings. After it sets settings chang ip address number to a higher number like.120. Save it. Then go to ur phone wifi settings and hit the menu button and select advanced. Go in there and make sure the ip address u wanted and click save..
If it dont work after this then its not a ip address conflic..
Srry typing from phone.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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.
h t t p ://www . natecarlson . com/2010/08/27/android-att-captivates-wifi-networking-is-broken/
h t t p ://www . net . princeton . edu/android/android-stops-renewing-lease-keeps-using-IP-address-11236.html
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 want to know if theres an app to emulate CMD like in windows (and not a computer needed to do it),i want to do it on my tf instead (dont tell me "turn off/on your router " please, i wont be asking on mcdonalds or burguer king if they can turn off/on their router )or any other place if they can do that so i can release my ip and get a new one
Thats what i want to avoid , so if theres some way to release /renew my ip (and no computer needed) then that will be great
I have revolver rom installed , but this PROBLEM was even on the stock rom ,so is not the rom or the 2 routers, my wifes ipod 4th gen connects right away and always renews ip at any place
Please help me

You can use terminal emulator for "CMD" window.
Just turning off your tablet will reset the wifi and it will scan for a new access point. Leaving the area of the AP at work should cause it to scan for a new one too. If you have hard coded a static IP address in your advanced wireless settings, pick up an app like WiFi Manager from the market to allow you to have multiple profiles and switch between them.

Both are DHCP enabled, so i dont know why it wont release it from previous routers , ive tried turning off/on both routers and tablet aswell and the problem persist.
With wifi manager i can make my TF to "release", or forget the las ip ?
Maybe I don't understand the problem, but can't you change wireless connections in the settings/wireless menu? Tap on the new connection?

i cant release the previous ip (my work , protected with password, dhcp enabled)
when i get home i have the last IP (from work), si i try to connect at my home router but i can see i have the ip form work, and theres no way i can release it to get a new onw from my home router.
i can acces my tf options to see what connections are on range and i can connect aswell, but the old ip form work wont dissapear and i cant acces internet or any other web content because i dont have a valid IP and there no way i can get rid of it
so i was asking if theres some way/app/etc etc to get the new ip working from my home router(not password protected)
but i think thats not the problem(open router), mi wifes ipod can connect everytime she gets home, its TF problem
If you need to get a new IP, turn on airplane mode, then turn it off. Simple as that. You're seriously overcomplicating this.

i have not tried that, i will take the TF to work today and se if that works
on a side note; im not overcomplicating anything, im trying to get help for something i dont know, im just a new TF user
thank you for the advice and i hope it works
Also, just in case, you may want to check that you don't accidentally have a static IP set on your device. Sometimes its easiest to avoid problems by simply deleting the network profile from your Transformer (or "forget" the network in Wifi Settings), and then attempt to re-connect again fresh.

Its set to DHCP so i know thats not the problem, i guess the problem rely on the routers, maybe i need to add password to my home router and see if keep getting the same problem, but as i said before i will have problems on every open wireless network maybe
As alluded to, the work IP falls out of range and hunts for a new AP.
Do you have MAC filtering?
OT: Why do you have an open home net?

i know it have to look for a new ip, but no its not doing it on my home network, thats why im having problems
as i said before, what am i gonna do when i try to connect to another open network ?? (ask them to turn off/on their routers , ask them to put password)
i dont know if this only happens with my router, i will try all the advices when i get home tonigth and see what happens
It’s (most probably) not the TF.
My work has both Open/Secured APs. It connects to the Secured as soon as it’s in range/awake, unless I manually hook it up to the Open. Same at Secured home, it connects no-mess/no-fuss.
How many Open nets do you ‘see’ at home?

just my network it's open, but my wifes ipod can connect/disconect as fast as you say with you network, it's just the TF not getting the new IP everytime i get home from work.
i was so freaking mad 2 days ago so i did a full wipe, that did the trick , i didnt have lot of apps that's why i did it , but i dont want to do it again and get all my apps lost one more time
nop !!!
none of the above advices worked , im so sorry for the guy saying i was overcomplicating this, and no , the airplane mode dindt solve it either
so i dont know wth can i do , the problem again is that i cant get a new IP, my last ip it's still not released (not even with airplane mode) , turnit off/on the device and tablet wont solve it either
i did the test with my wifes ipod (took it work then comeback)and it works as it should, just the TF doesnt work
so if i can do it with with terminal emulator (to release/renew IP) i will appreciate the step by step guyz
thanks in advanced
If you're using DHCP, under GNU/Linux the way is to launch the terminal emulator and run
Code:
dhclient -r
and then either restart the network interfaces (different between distros) or to run the DHCP client on the interface (in my tablets case, probably 'dhclient wlan0' without the quotes).
BUT!!! This being an Android tablet rather than a standard GNU/Linux system, has no dhclient program as far as I know. I have access to ifconfig, dhclient, etc by way of having Debian stable programs running in a chroot.
You might try disabling WiFi, forgetting the network, and reconnecting to it. The last router I had also had a way of getting rid of leases manually, either by telling it to tell the client to FO or deleting them all.
EDIT: Give or take specifics, I think the TF101 (or at least Prime) has dhcpcd. Try
Code:
dhcpcd -k wlan0
dhcpcd -n wlan0
to release and then renew. No promises if that will do jack though. You might also just try running 'dhcpcd wlan0' (without quotes).
For terminal emulators, go to the market or check if your ROM has one (Prime does).

You really shouldn't have to go through any of this stuff. I'd say the system is borked, maybe the hardware, maybe the software. You could try flashing a new version or just take it back, show them you can't connect to their network and get a replacement. It really works as easily as we say and as easy as the wife's ipod. I would take it back or send it in for repair, I think you have a broken system.

well i cant do that , i bougth it from ebay , i dont think its the TF itself, maybe the router (but the ipod works :S )
i will try and see if it happens on some other open network, or just replace the modem
My phone keeps cycling obtaining IP address without ever getting one on my home network. It has previously worked fine on my home network for a little over a month now and the problem suddenly started yesterday. No other devices on my WiFi network has the problem. Phone and router were rebooted, problem continues.
Any ideas?

That didn't work either. I just put in a static IP and now I can fully connect. Hopefully a better solution comes out later.

How do you put in a static ip?

Is your home router set up for for dynamic ip?

That used to happen to me all the time on my Kindle Fire, particularly after flashing a new rom. The fix was setting the date and time to automatic, but that may not apply here.

I don't know. It's time warner. Just setup how they did it.

I've found this happens too intermittently. It's a real pain. happened on a number of different custom ROMs.
other times it will say the network isn't in range, even though I know it is.

Depends on your network
DNS you get from your ISP, check router for it.
Prefix should be 24
IP whatever you set in the router ie 192.168.1.125
Gateway is whatever your router is ie 192.168.1.1
Google setting up static ip network it will help explain it and over at ddwrt they have pictures to help... very easy stuff. PM if you want/need help

I'll send you a pm tomorrow. I really wanna get this WiFi stiff figured out. WiFi on this phone really sucks.

You can try to turn off auto-DLNA..
It may causing device to configured itself under private ip range..
Same problem. Using stock rom. Tried static ip but not works.
This problem is a software problem? Or hardware?
This doesn't apply to my device now but on my previous HTC this would happen quite frequently I think it's more of a software bug then firmware it would seem that the drivers for the antenna are hit or miss

I had this issue and my phone wouldn't connect to any router "obtaining ip address" forever. Mind you my phone was 5days old, so took it right back to Rogers for a new exchange. My HOX is now perfect and connects to all wifi without issues.
Did you possibly enter the wrong spa password, then re enter it correctly and now you are having this problem?
If so, try this ... works on most Androids.
Click where it says obtaining IP address, the press "Forget"
Turn off Wifi.
Go Into Hone Settings > Power and disable Fast Boot.
Now power off the phone ...not restart.
Leave the phone off six minutes and not a moment less.
Then power up and try again.
Be careful to enter your wpa password correctly on the first try.
If still same problem try rebooting router.
Also consider installing SmartSync Disabler which can be found here on xda and at the google play store.
That app should solve the remaking wifi annoyance affecting these one x phones
the employer blocked the WIFI from employees (obtaining the ip address issue)
we cant access the WIFI in the hotel at where we work and although there are a password you put at the hotel's WIFI website but they did something lately to all of us and it is when any of the staff open the WIFI on his mobile it just keep showing obtaining IP address and no result so if you guys could help me in this and do i have to get a new phone or to try hiding my IP i tried a lot of apps but no way plz help
