I've been trying to share internet connection from my laptop with gtab using "connectify". The wifi setting on the gtab actually says "connected" but I have no internet access I think it's because of ip config or something but i don't know how to fix it. Any idea what's going on?

I would assume your laptop is creating a peer-to-peer or AdHoc network that Android can struggle with. There are no less than a dozen threads on this here. Some fixes for connecting to AdHoc but my experience has been that you will need a Infrastructure network to connect to with no issues. Use the search field upper right.
Hi,
For starters, the android version is 2.3.3.
I have a wifi problem with the x10i. At home, there is no connection problem. I connect to my router which uses WPA (TKIP+AES). But at work, I can't connect to the wifi that uses a WPA/WPA2 PSK. This is what I see on the phone. I thought that there was a compatibility problem. So, I created a connection using my iMac that uses a WEP protection. But I still wasn't able to use the wifi. Finally, I disabled the WEP protection and then I could connect. But I don't want the wifi connection to remain unprotected.
I tried looking up this on google but could't find a solution. So, I apologize if this problem has already been adressed here.
Thanx.
Hi. Since upgrading to KK5 or later roms/kernels, I've had big problems with connecting to PEAP-authenticated wireless networks. Initially I was unable to connect to them at all, but after installing the wpa supplicant fix, this was sorted.
However, I now have problems moving between different access points with the same ssid and with the same authentication. Previously, on KK2 and earlier, every time I moved to an area with a signal for this ssid, my wifi would connect automatically. Now, I often need to disable and re-enable wifi in order to get connected.
Further (and I'm less sure about this one) I seem to get larger battery drain when connected to these networks, and (possibly) moving around between them.
Does anyone have any suggestions about either of these problems? The first one is the more annoying. Thanks in advance.
I recently purchased an unlocked Lumia 800. I am having trouble connecting to my home wifi network, which uses a Netgear WNDR3700 router.
My Lumia detects the network and attempts to connect, but always gives the error: There was no response from the network
The phone is completely up to date, and I have tried all the usual things like restarting the phone, restarting the router, putting the router in another mode such as G instead of N, and trying different wifi channels and security, from open to wpa2. None of these things seem to make any difference. The router does not have any kind of connection limit set, and mac filtering is disabled.
Things to note are that I can successfully connect to friend's wifi networks with the phone, and another WP7 phone owned by another household member, a HTC Mozard has exactly the same problem.
Im not really sure what else to try, maybe someone can suggest some differenr router or phone settings to try?
thanks
Hey all,
I have spent the past 4 weeks frustrated by the constant dropping of wifi connections over and over and over since upgrading CM7 to the latest CM9 nightly .... Anyways, I accidentally walked into a fix for my issue. I haven't seen this in any of the forums or suggestions so I came and created an account just to post this fix.
So all I did was disable the WMM Mode option in my wireless router and now wifi is not dropping at all and is flying speedwise!!
I have a Belkin wireless router and all is now well with WPA2. I have no clue if this will help anyone with another manufacturer.
Google says: What is WMM Mode belkin?
A feature called Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is present in the router, which allows for media files to be given precedence over the wireless network.
Anyways, hopefully some poor soul as desperate I was will see this and it will help them too.

I just got CM9 and haven't had the chance for wifi to drop on me yet, but when it does I will surely try your suggestion. Thanks!
Yeah,... no.. Disabling WMM didn't work for me.
In fact, it managed to completely knock off my laptop from my LAN. And the only way I was able to connect to my LAN was through my Extended LAN. Weird.. I know.. I don't understand it..
But on the flip side, I was only wanting to test out this WMM method to see what happens.
I wasn't having any connection issues as far as getting on the internet.
The issue I was/am having is accessing the Internet via my LAN with Wireless N Only.
Currently I can connect with Wireless N.. However with that setting.. accessing Youtube video streaming is very slow (Turtles Crawl) to load (Which is a major deal for me).
Also Connecting my HP TP to the LAN with that setting is HIT or MISS, Mostly Miss. When trying to connect to my LAN the HP TP will not respond to the request to connect and simply do nothing.
So to correct that I have to bump down my LAN to Wireless G Only. With Wireless G Youtube streaming is normal with almost no delay what so ever.
With this WMM method I was hoping it would fix Wireless N/YouTube Streaming issue I currently have with my HP TP.
But.. Alas Horatio.. I didn't know him well!... hehe...
WMM/802.11e is REQUIRED by the 802.11n standard—so disabling this should break 11n and, as such, should not be done if you use 11n.
I was using an app called wifi fixer to keep a connection. That was after trying everyone of the router tweaks people suggested. It worked fine for months on the Alpha 2 (without needing an app or router tweak), then when I started using the nightlies it started dropping. Whatever version I am on now is solid, and has no issues. I am afraid to try a newer nightly in case it breaks again.

I did not have any WIFI issue with CM9 so far, perhaps the new nightly fixed the issue. I had problem with Wifi on WebOS where the connection would drop randomly. At first, I thought it was TP but later found a fix for DIR-655 router, since then, no problem whatsoever.
all these problems can be fixed by modifying your wpa_supplicant.conf file also, learn about this as well
