Im running the HD2 on t-mobile UK with the Wifi Router App it used to work like a dream, but has suddenly stopped working. when i run a ipconfig on the laptop it shows an ip address and a subnet mask but no default gateway.
Is anyone having the same problem, i was thinking that maybe t-mobile have found out that im tethering and found a way to stop me.
I used to be able to plug my phone to my laptop through usb and tether that way but it stopped working after using it for 6 months.

Bought my gtablet a few weeks back when it was on woot and have loved it so far. Did the Clockwork/TNT Lite setup, and have added a few games and apps...
I'm not sure if it is an app I installed or something else, but right now it will connect to WiFi as always, but the internet doesn't work. Other devices using the same access points connect and work perfectly, just my gtablet is failing. It goes through what appears to be a normal connect and gets an IP without any failure and shows connected, but none of the news, marketplace, or web browser apps are able to connect to the internet.
Any advice to trouble shoot network connectivity? I had recently installed LauncherPro and was working on installing Titanium Backup Pro, (which I either didn't actually download and was just emailed a key, or it never installed because I can't find it anywhere...)
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with the ad-hoc wifi connection to WMwifirouter. The gtab shows it is connected with an IP, but no internet traffic will pass. That same ad-hoc wifi connection works with other winXP laptops.
However, wifi connections to my two other wifi router works fine.
I'm on stock 3389 with tnt enhancement pack.
Adhoc problem sounds gateway related.... the former issue... id start with a wipe.

I have the same issue - was it fixed yelrx8 ?
I got a problem with my wifi on the flyer and also on my Desire HD.At home it all works fine but when i am on the military base where i am during the week the problem is always there.
In the room where i sleep we have intenet via a ethernetcable.I do not own a laptop so i installed a router.It all works and both my flyer aswell as the DHD are connected to wifi and have a strong signal!But if i try to use the browser it says it has no internet connection!
Weird thing is that skype works,but all the rest does not.
I have tried 2 routers and both give good signal but no internet...
Hope somebody can help me.
a LAN is not a WAN. You are connected to the LAN but not a WAN, but you need to know a few things to connect to the web. First of all the default gateway and DNS server IP addresses and that might not work but is a start.
Well, the title says pretty much all .. I earlier didn't have this problem.. Then since last night, I came back home and connected my Galaxy Ace to my home wifi, but this time, it wasn't transferring any data.. It would be connected, full signal, but no internet connection.. My browser, gmail, YouTube, PlayStore, nothing would load.. It'd keep saying Connection Error. Retry.
My wifi works properly on the computer and other devices, and my phone used to work perfectly too! Why's it suddenly giving this problem?!
Any solutions!?
SOLVED!
Okay so I figured it out on my own!!
I went to Wifi Settings>> Advanced>> and "Use Static IP"
I then provided my phone with an IP address, gave the DNS servers as mentioned by my Router, and gateway, is ofcourse, the IP adress of the router. NETMASK is Subnet mask ..
Once I filled in them correctly, and as per my router settings, my mobile is now transferring data and I can now access the internet!
Just thought I'd post a reply incase anyone else was facing this problem
No data through laptop hotspot.
I have a similar problem, but with using my laptop as an access point. My Samsung Galaxy Ace had no problem connecting to either my or my wife's laptop access points initially till about a week ago. I use an HP while my wife uses a DELL. We both run Windows 7. But, here's when things started to get strange.
1. The Ace even though connected through my laptop's AP Wi-fi cannot send or receive data after the first few seconds.
2. My wife's Dell XCD35 (ZTE Blade) has no problems.
3. The Ace has no problem connecting to an Android AP or my wife's laptop AP.
I reflash and unrooted my phone and basically brought it back to factory settings but no luck.
Tried using other services for using my laptop as an accesspoint - mhotspot, virtual router and connectify - still no luck.
tried static ip - no luck.
reinstalled the MS Virtual Wi-fi Miniport Adaptop driver - no luck.
Somehow, there is a security setting on the laptop that's preventing my phone from connecting to the internet. I think I maybe connected to the network, but access to the internet is restricted.
There are no other features like MAC address binding or anything like for laptop APs.
It's getting really frustrating now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Set your Internet to "Allow other computers to share this Internet connection". Other ideas would be to check/disable your firewall
Wifi connected but not working
My Galaxy ace plus connects fine to wifi network but cannot browse internet or play store. I am using a free public wifi so i dont know about the static ip address. And this problem was from the starting whn i just bought it. So is there any other solution for this problem or not?
I tried everything... I restarted the modem- no luck. I filled in the blank from the advance wifi setting- no luck
I have two laptops and one LAN connection. Say I connect the LAN to laptop-1. Then I use Mhotspot software to turn that laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot and connect laptop-2 to that hotspot. This way I have internet on both laptops without any additional router. I'm using this method for 7/8 months now.
The problems starts when I connect my HTC Titan to that hotspot. I can't access internet on Titan or Laptop-2, even though they're connected. As soon as I disable wifi on my Titan, internet on laptop-2 starts to work again. But it doesn't work the otherway, means if I disable wifi on laptop-2, Titan still doesn't work. Wifi signal from Titan somehow stalls the network. I'm almost certain because I have an android phone too (Galaxy S). I can connect the galaxy and laptop-2 at the same time and both works flawlessly. But whenever I start Titan, the virtual network stalls. Galaxy shows its connected but can't browse, Laptop-2 shows its connected but can't browse, Titan shows its connected but can't browse. Is it something to do with windows phone? Or I'm doing something wrong.
Note, the Titan is new but the Galaxy is old and the galaxy never created this problem. I tried to connect the Titan alone to the network, but obviously it also didn't work.
Thanks for any help. I don't want to buy a new router just for Titan :crying: :crying:
Update
I have somewhat narrowed down the problem. The networks actually stalls soon after I open the the marketplace or resume any app download. If I browse through mobile IE or use the facebook/email app it seems to work fine. But after opening Marketplace, the network stalls within minutes.
And another clarification, I do not use any sim with my phone yet. I'm still not sure I want to use Windows phone as my primary device yet. So 2G/3G + Wifi issues, pointed in other threads is not an issue here. I don't have sim, so no chance of cellular data to conflict with wifi. I would really appreciate some help here!
Hi all,
Im having a problem connecting to a VPN on my Galaxy S3 (stock ROM, not rooted, running Android 4.0.4). I can connect to the VPN fine when Im on a wifi network, but when I try to connect while on 3G network it just says connecting for about ten seconds then comes up Unsuccessful.
Initially I thought it might have been something to do with the network blocking VPN connections, but it worked fine on my old phone (Desire Z running stock 2.3.3) and still runs fine if I try it on the old phone with a different sim from the same network.
The VPN in question is connecting using PPTP.
Is there some setting on the S3 that determines whether or not a VPN can connect over 3G? Or is there something else that I might be missing?
Cheers.
Are you sure you're using PPTP and not L2TP or OpenVPN on the old phone?
The network _could_ filter VPN based on the SIM-card but it's somewhat unlikely.
Try comparing the Network APN settings of both devices, especially whether one of both has a Proxy configured.
Now that you mention it I think the old phone might be set to use L2TP, but they changed that setting in ICS and I was unable to use L2TP (neither the PSK or RSA options would allow me to connect) so I had to use PPTP. The fact that it is connecting on the S3 when Im connected to wifi I didnt think it would make a difference; do you reckon that could be the cause of the problem?
