Thread: Wifi issues

Hey, a week back bought a HTC wildfire. Everything was fine till i tried to connect to interet via home wifi(bsnl).

#Turned on the wifi on my phone
#entered the wep password
#It says.. obtaining ip adress from " "
#after a few seconds ..all it says is "unsucessful"
#i've even tried with static ip. No success.

My modem/router is a VMC AN1020-21 TYPE-2 modem.

It is a problem with my home wifi connection? or with my phone?

Technical assistance needed!!

1. Configure your modem in PPPoE.

Similar modem, use this guide,

Teracom Type-II ADSL MODEM MENU

2. Enable DHCP in your modem.

3. In the TCP/IP properties of your connection, set " Obtain IP address automatically ".

Thats all

HEy thanx for the reply.. well i've configured my modem on to PPoE protocol. Enabled DHCP.

Still the phone sits on "obtaining ip address.." . Should i change any network settings on my desktop?

M using windows Xp service pack 3.

Please take me through!

HTC wildfire
Should i change any network settings on my desktop?

If your desktop can access wifi network and you can surf no changes needed. ( or in LAN mode ).confirm use of wifi card in desktop.
Same SSID ( entered in modem/router should/will appear in HTC also.
4.
Try without any security code.
or
5 WPA code.
or
6
.set wifi channel 6 or 11

Try third tip. In your desktop, in the TCP/IP properties of your connection, set " obtain IP address automatically ".

@essbebe I just came to knw that my desktop is wifi capable. But, when i run ipconfig/all

My ethernet card says dhcp is not enabled. Is this anything to do with my wifi connectivity to my mobile??

@dilip I've tried it. No success! :| heard that win xp sp3 isnt capable of handling wifi? is this true?

You should change over to "Always On" mode
( Uncheck "bridged" in WAN page and select PPP/PPPoE.
Enter userId/Pw in next page etc )

Do you get a WLAN Icon in Network page ?

@essbebe When i try to change over to pppoe there is an error while connecting..

173321 error-failure webserver: Failed to obtain write lock on IM

and i cannot see any WAN icon. But, my system allows me to create a wireless network. Should i create one?

@ basath hey thanx for the PIK. The problem is that my phone detects the wifi spot but fails to get connected. It just sits on obtaining ip address from..

be sure that wifi wep key is right
or
try entering wep key while creating manual accesspoint of wifi
this will resolve
