Hi there
I'm having a problem connecting my new HTC Touch Cruise (P3650?) to my home router. I switch on wireless, it shows SSID for my router, I choose this, it asks "connect to work or internet" I choose internet, it then asks for network key, i enter it and it shows the little arrows then says connected. I've got local IP address 192.168.0.4, which seems right. But when I go to internet explorer can't connect to internet.
I tried pinging the HTC from another PC on the network and from the router and get no reply. Router shows the HTC in its DHCP assigned addresses list, so it knows it's there and it gave the HTC an IP address. But now it can't ping it?!
What am I doing wrong? I have tried every combination of connect via Work, connect via internet, manually assign IP address and default gateway, turned off WEP.
Other devices on this wireless net are fine - 1 desktop and up to 3 laptops. The HTC connects to internet fine via HSDA, 3G and GPRS and via ActiveSync and USB. It's only the bl**dy Wifi that I can't get to work!
Thanks tariq. Yes, happy to try anything! OK, here goes.
Just done a hard reset and still nothing. I mean same thing - get an ip address but nothing else. It can't connect to internet and nothing on the network can ping it. All continues to work through 3G but nothing on wireless. Rats!
I'm really stuck. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help though.
Cheers
Gavin
Got it Tariq. It was a setting on the router, a D-Link 604+ an old 802.11b router. There is a setting Turbo, which I have now turned off and all works fine. A tip I got from another PDA forum! There seem to be lots of non-standard settings for routers, such as power settings or speed enhancements. PCs and Laptops (or possibly Vista/XP) seem to tolerate this, but I've read of lots of PDA problems with them. Maybe Windows Mobile being fussy? Anyway, just in case you (or anyone else) is interested. All working great now. Gosh, that was an obscure and hair pulling out frustrating prob!
