Thread: How to connect PDA mobile phone to BSNL broadband (wireless)

Hello - I have a BSNL broadband connection DNA-A211-1 modem/wireless router. I have enabled PPPoE + WEP. I am able to connect my desktop via ethernet and my notebook via wireless. However I am yet to be successful in connecting and browsing through my PDA phone (O2 XDA Atom Exec).

On enabling wireless on my PDA, it shows connected but I am unable to browse. On trying to ping the router (192.168.1.1), it responds unable to ping device.

Am I missing some settings? Can someone help me?

Looking forward to some suitable tips. Thanks in advance.

go to start>settings>connections>network cards
edit following:

edit :AsyncMac NDISWAN miniport>Use specific IP address
192.168.2.1
everything else leave blank tap ok
done
P.S.connect pda to active sync
reply if it works

is your PDA getting an ip address???login to your router.. and check under DHCP clients to see if your PDA is listed

nope, nothing like that

I have enabled PPPoE + WEP

Try without any security keys.
Or you may have to enter the WEP key (set in DNA211-I.)
in the PDA.

Scan for available Wireless network ( secured or unsecured)
in your PDA.
Yours listed ?

Firstly - thanks oshhh, superprash2003 & essbebe for stepping in with suggestions.

oshhh: I have noted your option but I haven't yet tried via active sync.
superprash2003: Yes, my PDA is getting an IP address.
essbebe: I have tried lowering the security but with no success so far.

I give you the wireless settings on my router. I have to reiterate that with these I am able to connect my notebook and work at ease. It's my PDA which is hellbent on not connecting to the wireless setup.

Please note that I have enabled PPPoE.

Basic:
1. Wireless: enabled.
2. Access Point: hidden.
3. Wireless Guest Network: disabled.

Security:
1. Network authentication: WPA2-PSK
2. WPA Encryption: TKIP
3. WEP Encryption: enabled

MAC Filter:
1. MAC Restrict Mode: disabled

Wireless Bridge:
1. AP mode: Access point
2. Bridge Restrict: disabled

In my PDA, the configure wireless network options are:
General:
1. Network name: (I give the network name as defined in my wireless router)
2. Connects to: (I indicate the Internet)
3. A checkbox to indicate this is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection - which I tick (enable)

Network Key:
1. Authentication: (I have the options Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK - I have selected WPA-PSK)
2. Data Encryption: (I have selected TKIP)
3. Network key: (I indicate the key as defined in my router)
4. Key index: (I have maintained the same key index number as in my router)

With the above settings, I have already mentioned that I am able to see my wireless network as available and is also indicated as connected. However, on browsing, I get the following message: 'Page cannot be found. Check the name and try again.'

I hope all of the above will help you guys to have an understanding of the scenario at my end. I will be grateful for any further suggestion you can offer to help me climb over this mole-hill problem of getting my PDA hooked on to my wireless setup.

I again offer in advance my sincere thanks for your time, efforts and replies.

Regards.

Connectivity options abound, and include 802.11b Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.2, Infrared and tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE. These features can easily be switched off to conserve battery life and/or to ensure that the device remains usable during air travel.

Check the channel and mode selected in your WIFI router. and PDA.

.Recommended NO security code.
