Hey guys,
i have an issue with my wifi connection, but only in one specific place.
Here goes: I can connect and use wifi everywhere(without any problem), but not at my friends house. Wifi connects without a problem, but after that i cannot use it (can't download from market, can't surf, etc.). It says there is an internet connection failure, altough i'm still connected.
I know for sure there isn't a problem with routers, modems, networks, etc. coz i setup his network myself (exactly the same as al the other networks i use) So in this there cannot be a problem. My friend can connect his iphone4, my wife can with S+, even a guy with an ACE can connect and use, except for me and my ACE.
Already reset router, modem and phone (even other firmware), but still nothing!
Hope somebody can help with this, coz i'm really bugged out on this one.
Cheers.
Check if u have a WPA protection.. My ACE doesnt work with Wifi with WPA pwd..
or
Try this:
Go to Wifi Settings, select the hotspot you are connecting to, forget the connection, restart ACE, connect to the hotspot again by entering the password
Hope this helps..
While on the topic of not being able to surf, I can never download anything from mediafire.

Hmm, strange i can't download either. Nothing, not even textdocuments always get message "download failed".
Try to find out from this other Ace which modem he has installed. Check yours as well. If they are different, it can be a clue...

Hope this will workout.

weirdo wifi
Check on router setting the ip address your phone is using is not bind to another device,s mac address this is on the router settings something like ip & Mab binding.
It could be the ip you are trying to use alocated for use by another device only.
However u will be able to connect to the router it will show in the router you phone is connected and alsoshow in wifi on the phone you are connected but you will NOT be able to connect to the internet.

Hey,
Thnx, will try this ASAP. This might be it.
Question: If my phones ip-adress is indeed the problem, is it possible to change it without any problem? Or should i delete the binded ip at the router?
Cheers.
ip no problem
You can set another ip address manually for phone first find out what routers ip address is
normally 192.168.1.1 is default for lots of routers then see router has DHCP
enabled this means router issues ips to devices. if it is enabled the leave your phone as is and check on the router under ip & Mac binding see if it is enabled UNanble u can always put it back
even better see on router what ip your phone is using then checxk in ip & mac binding that it is not assigned to another device for use. if it is u can delete that binding.
binding means you give a certain device's mac address a certain ip so only that device can you that ip
for example say your phones mac adress is 12:34:56:78:90:00 and you assign or give it ip adress 192.168.1 10 then in theory only your phone can use this ip. THIS not always the case depends on what make router. Whilst we are at that what is your router model.

IP & MAC Binding Help
To manage the computers well in the LAN, you could control access among computers by ARP Binding.
MAC Address - The MAC address of the controlled computer in the LAN.
IP Address - The assigned IP address of the controlled computer in the LAN.
Bind - Whether or not enable the arp binding.
Modify - Edit or delete item.
Link - Turn to IP & MAC Binding Setting page.
Example: If you want assign 192.168.1.4 to PC A (MAC: 00-E0-4C-00-07-BE), and any other PCs could not use this IP,you should first enable "ARP Binding", and add a new item as below.

DHCP ip Address Reservation Help
When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it accesses the DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
MAC Address - The MAC Address of the PC that you want to reserve IP address for.
Reserved IP Address - The IP address of the router reserved.
To Reserve IP Addresses:
Enter the MAC Address (The format for the MAC Address is XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX.) and the IP address in dotted-decimal notation of the computer you wish to add.
Click the Save button when finished.
To modify a Reserved IP Address:
Select the reserved address entry as you desire, modify it. If you wish to delete the entry, make all of the entry fields blank.
Click the Save button.

I have a HTC Thunderbolt that doesn't seem to recognize that the toggle for the static IP address is on. I have tried to reboot it and not sure what else to do. I need to be able to set a static IP for use with TRENDnet TEW-637AP wireless that doesn't have the ability to assign IP addresses. It continually says obtaining IP address from Network SSID. It will connect to wireless that can assign IP addresses regardless of the switch setting. Like I said, it doesn't seem to see it.
Thanks,
AC
assuming youre connecting with the wireless connect in the phone for wifi (the built in one), you can just set things manually.
Using a computer on the same network as the router you want to connect to, do this:
go to the command line in windows/linux/osx:
type ipconfig /all (if you're on windows)
ifconfig -a (if you're on linux/osx)
make note of the subnet mask (probably 255.255.255.0) and default gateway/network id (probably 192.168.1.1 but that could vary).
Then on your phone, use the same subnet and gateway and then find an open ip address for your phone to use (probably something between 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.150, but that also could vary depending on what your default gateway is. Anyways when you find one, say something like 192.168.1.139, enter that for the ip address and connect. Assuming all went well and you figured things out, you should be connected.
Ok. I will give that a try when I get a chance. Would have liked to done so today but very busy and it doesn't look like work is going to slow down for the next two days. Thanks for the quick response.

I finally had time to sit down and look at this again today. I was in hopes that I had missed something on the default gateway. I don't use one on my network as there is no internet access. Thought maybe it was I tried using x.x.x.1 as the gateway hoping that it would make a difference but it didn't seem to help. Thanks for the suggestions. I have been looking on the web and it would appear that I am the only one having an issue of this type. Thanks again.
Can someone tell me where the Mac address is stored in SGS2.
I have found /etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt but in that file it is a different mac address then the one i see in wifi advanced settings.

But i want to know in what file in the os the mac address is stored so i can change it.

Not the best of ideas, and may not even work, why not sign in on your phone?
And for your "How do i do in linux?" question, you use goolge to search for a query that millions will have had for the widest used classification of operating system in the world
But... a simple google search gives
http://www.robmcghee.com/android/changing-the-mac-address-on-android/
I am in a hotel and with a pc connect to the hotspot and get a wifi connection:
Then when i start to surf i get redirected to http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
Where i fill in username and password in a form and i send the information to http://1.1.1.1/logon.cgi.
On my phone i get a wifi connection but is not redirected and i can not surf to http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
I have tried all ways that is described but none is successful.
That is the reason I wonder if someone knows how i can change the mac in os on a SGS2.
/Mike
you tried downloading opera or firefox for your mobile? Either or may make it so you can login on that form?
Easier solution if it works

Have tried Opera mobile, firefox and dolphin, none is working.
/Mike
Don't forget to set the User Agent of Opera/Firefox/Dolphin to Desktop. Does the hotel ask for a login in the form of a website, or is it a dialogue box? Because websites can easily load on your phone.
I have the Useragent set to Desktop.
The hotel redirect me to a webpage http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
Where i fill in username and password in a form and i send the information to http://1.1.1.1/logon.cgi.
On my phone i get a wifi connection but is not redirected and i can not surf to http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
I can not get the phone to show the webpage with login.
Now i was thinking to set the same mac addres on my phone as on the pc and use the pc to logon and then switch of wifi on pc and turn it on on the phone.

hi,
i've found an utility that gives me the wan ip but i need my personnal (internal to my network) ip, any clue ?
subsidiary : any method to configure wifi ? (ex: ip fixing or adhoc mode, etc.)
thanks !!
There's an app in the webos catalog called what is my IP
if you can open up a terminal command line from preware, just type ifconfig -a
you can also look on your router to see what was assigned or go under wifi settings and set a static ip. i prefer a static ip anyways just so i know what it's on for connection purposes.
thanks both!
what's the app for terminal ?

there's an xterm app in preware. it's kind of annoying to use, but it will work fine for what you need.
If its the only device on the network look in the WiFi router admin panel

on the touchpad, have you tried settings->wifi-> press on name of network you are connected to?
don't think you need to install anything.
hey people,
here is the issue. i am able to connect to my wifi at home no issue. when i try to connect at work it says connected but i have no access to the internet. the bars are grey with the up and down arrow going crazy but the bars never turn blur. sound like its not authenticating. i noticed when i connect its always trying to connect to the same DHCP IP. i asked the network guys to release the address manually but it does not seem to have helped. any ideas. i do not know much about DHCP so i could be blowing sunshine up your a$$. ; )
i own the i757m so there is only 1 radio to choose from.
talk to your network administrator and ask them to verify if the router is actually seeing your phone.
it maybe trying to connevt but the router is not acknowledging the phone is sending a valid request.

Maybe their DHCP server is acting up. Try setting your IP address manually (assuming you know the rest of the networking configuration as well).

Hey guys,
My Father changed something in the router settings yesterday which blocked only me and my brother from connecting to the Wifi.
Anyone else can connect normally and gain Internet access. It is a password protected access point but I have the password and I entered it correctly and it connected but it says "Authentication error occurred".
Does anyone have an idea of what he blocked? Mac address? IP? what? and how can I change it?
Thanks in advance!

Mac address definitely. I would also offer he reserved IP addresses to certain Mac adds & limited number of ip address (i.e., 2 or 3 vs 255). Can you get local access & then access router w/its id name & password?

I have only once changed Mac add & that was inadvertantly & rooted. Don't know if Mac add can be changed w/o root. IP address theory might be tested using a VPN app (may still need connection) or app such as Hide My Ass.
Good luck.
Edit: Now that I think about it, you can't test IP theory w/o outside connection. Sorry.
