Hi All
Please don't let me down!!
Just had a Virgin Media SuperHub delivered and installed, I have a Windows XP and Windows 7 PC connected and accessing the internet via WiFi but I for love nor money I don't seem to be able to connect my Hero to the internet, it connects fine to the SuperHub but does not have any internet access. Very frustrating as you can imagine. VM Customer support were next to usless.
I can ping the phone from the hub using the settings in my browser, I can even log in to the User page on the hub from my phone, just cant access any web pages from the phone
I have looked through all the setting and cant see what I need to do. My hero is running Cyanogen Mod 7.
Please Please Please can someone help?
/Rich
Did it used to work on your previous WiFi network? Before the virgin? Also ensure that the network security code is correct and if still not working try switching to a different Rom. If still the problem persists it may just be a problem with your virgin hub. The only way around this problem I personally see is to get on giffgaffs £10 unlimited data tariff.
Hope that's helped!

It connected fine to my old router, which I bought because I had trouble connecting it to an old links one.
I have temporarily re connected the router it dose connect to, but I'm now not getting the full benefits of the new Virgin Media one.
Any ideas?

If it connected fine to your old router, it's definitely a problem with the new router. Most probably the Virgin's modem technology is far too advanced for our old hero's. You could try flashing a new Rom, that may just do the trick, although unfortunately I don't see any other way around this

That's what I was worried about. Thanks for confirming that.

Is it possible to have my Virgin router and my old router running at the same time?
Sent from my Hero using Forum Runner
If you've got two separate phone
lines then yes, although you'd need two different broadband providers too, and that'll set you back a fair bit. Waste of money tbf.

So I couldn't daisy chain the old router off the VM one?

No no certainly not, a daisy chain wouldn't work. You can't get a loop from one modem to another and expect them to function normally.. what was even wrong with your first provider and the modem to change you're mind? I'm sure virgin can fix the problem because you do say the hero identifies the network and connects but no webpages appear, and you try a different Rom?

Have you tried to reserve the MAC adress of your phone and provide an ip adress everytime you connect through wifi? (you can do this in your router settings - if you can acess that!).

I don't have two modems, I have the Virgin Media hub, which is a modem and router all in one and I have my old Edimax router which was connected to my old modem.
Could I run boh routers at the same time like this - my PC's would connect to the VM Super hub and then my phone would connect to the Edimax router which would be connected to one of the ports on the VM Super hub?

You can try, but I doubt you'd have much luck connecting it onto the virgy hub.

i tried other wifi spots but still i got same results.. what seems to be the problem? do u think its hardware issues? i can detect all the wifi connections available but once i got connected, i cant browse or use the market. is it hardware?
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
i think best way is to flash another ROM .. Wipe everything before you flash & see it it works otherwise flash Radio if you not having latest one Radio for Hero GSM Then i think VillainROM Guys are having you can check their forums ..and try that
i think i have issues with my wifi at home.. because when i try public wifi's i can connect to some but i also cant to some free wifi. which is weird. i have a wildfire before and this was not an issue for me
Last year I had a similar problem that I fixed by assigning my hero a static ip address. For some reason dhcp did not work.
Strangely enough I don't have that problem anymore.
Back then I had stock 1.5 OS. Now I have every ROM. Well, you know what I mean.

This could very well be an issue with your router firmware. Some routers are just plain ****ty.
Can you maintain a connection without any encryption (WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc)?
Hi all, this issue is driving me to distraction! I've changed my internet service provider and they have sent out a new router (d-link DSL- 2680) to use and since hooking everything up my Hero no longer recognizes the router i.e. I will do a wifi scan and it will display a list of all the other routers within range but my new router will not appear on the list?! So frustrating as I use my Hero as my main internet connected devise at home! Any suggestions or help would be welcome! Thankyou!

hi, did you fix this? i have the same problem
cheers
Maby your router isnt broadcasting it's SSID ??
Hello!
I'm new here as u can see. But It's funny that I got the same router DSL- 2680 with the same issue.. My Hero is running SHPONGLE v3.6 (what a great rom!) :good:
I have three laptops which are using this router with no problems at all. Hero just doesn't like the DSL?
Problem solved
What I did: Went to routers setup. --> Wi-Fi Protected setup --> tick off Enable
It's working great now. I hope this helps u a bit, stevieg73.
Hi all
I want to know how tk connect ad-hoc wireleas its really needed??
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It really depends on what you want to connect to with the AD-HOC wireless connection the HD2 uses as some electronic devices do not support AD-HOC like most Sony products for example. But there is a work around. So please post back here with what you are trying to connect to.
I have internet sharing to other so i want to connect the shared internet but the shared wireless does not shown in wireless.

Sorry for the late reply but I think you are looking for WiFi Router for Windows Mobile. There is also a paid WiFi Router app in the Market call WMRouter if I remember correctly. But I use to use the free one all the time and loved it.
I dont think u get my question.
I want to connect the ad-hoc wireless ,when u share internet from ur pc the type of connection is ad-hoc some device cant read this wireless or find it,so the point is by which way i can connect from my hd2 to those type of wireless?
Thank u very much.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ok I think I might understand you question now, and yes I know what AD-HOC is. To put it simply it is a computer to computer connection. Anyway if you are talking about using the AD-HOC connection to put your HD2 online via your computers internet connection then you will have to use a WiFi router and access your home internet connection via Wifi. I don't think you can connect your HD2 any other way to non cellular network, at least that I know of.
Ok
so its microsoft .
thank u very much .
Hi there,
I have encountered some strange problem with my HD2.
I cannot make ad-hoc connections with most laptops, except for maybe one.
This means, I cannot connect to an ad-hoc connection set up on a laptop, nor can I turn my HD2 into a wi-fi router with most computers.
The connection is detected but after trying to connect, it just cycles and eventually windows (tried xp, vista and 7) notices that it cannot connect.
I have read that it may be the case of:
1. IP mapping (but why should this happen if all these laptops did connect with my previous i8000?)
2. WLAN Channels (Whereas I found no way to access/change them on wm6.5)
It's a new HD2 so it's got the pre-installed sharing feature. I also used the wmwifi router trial and downoladed the htc installable router app (tom codon's).
I've searched the forums for 3h allready and found no conclusion - will be really greatful for some hints.
Thanks.

Some networks don't let you use your laptop etc..to connect to the internet via your phone unless you pay extra.
My ace is locked to three there is a option in setting to Tether via usb or wifi but no mater winch setting i use it will not work.
However on my old HTC HD touch generic i can connect my usb cable to my laptop and go on-line with the same sim. Iam going to try and branded my ace once i know how.

Not share you Phone internet, but PC internet to Phone.
CHEERS!
What about sharing the connection by WiFi? Through Ad-Hoc?
I know that there's an option in Linux, but I'm not so sure for Windows.
Rufus87
Try to download Connectify and turn your laptop into access point (if your wifi card supports it). Anyway, buying wifi access point is the best solution.

In Windows he can set up ad hoc network, but Ace doesn't support it. I tried to look for working edited wpa_supplicant file, but i didn't find it.
Devs any hope for this yet?

Virtual WiFi adapter for Windows 7
You could also change your WiFi adapter into a virtual WiFi Miniport and share the internet connection if you have windows 7.. It acts as a Wireless access point and also please note that your hardware should support in order to create a virtual WiFi.. Just follow these instructions..
http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/set-windows-7-wifi-hotspot-quick-tip/
+1 mr., been +1ing twice tonight.. I also had this issue, decided to stop my ace's data plan and my brother had a decent connection on the desktop. Sadly it was our all time fav Win XP and we're too lazy to add a WIFI/WLAN card to it.
Maybe having a Terminal Emulator (since we can't do any adb commands when tethering) to establish an interface/eth0, activating the USB tether (not the wireless) and configuring a connection on the Windows would help? I've tried that, but met no luck on Windows part.
I used reverse usb tethering on galaxy mini before purchase ace. Its simple script to give usb0 ip address and some setting on gateway, dns.
Hi,
I have the strangest problem:
there is some sort of a problem in the combination of my phone and my laptop (Dell 5110N with Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030).
If i enable tethering on my phone, and connect to it on my laptop, internet browsing doesnt work, but every other program that uses the internet seems to be working - say Dropbox keeps uploading files.
I've tried on 3 different internet browsers, and the problem is only local to my specific phone (my laptop works wifi with other tethering phones) and other devices (say my friend's galaxy s3) seems to be able to browse the internet while being tethered to my phone.
I literary have no idea whats going on and what can be dont to solve it, i'd love to get some help if possible.
thanks alot!

To make sure it is not a DNS problem you should try with ICMP from your notebook:
1. does ping gmail.com work ?
2. does ping 173.194.35.53 work ?
If one of these does not work, install LanDroid from Google Play and try the pings from your phone.
