clearing the way so that I understand correctly!

Thanks Kev!

My router is a netgear dg834GT.I,ve looked at the range and the range for 192.168.0.1 actually goes from 192.168.0.2 upto 192.168.0.254 so the range should be there. how would I know if the router is DHCP, is there a way of seeing this? The filter would be set up where for the mac address?Is there a way of changing the isp on the phone so that its range is within the 192.168.0.1 range?the only security that I have is the routers own and the avg antivirus.would disabling the avg help!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] nilocsss:
thanks for your response!

thanks for replying ,my router is a netgear and the security is a wep key which I have disabled and i also tried the drop down menu "the internet" but still nothing! how would I find out on the phone what ethernet card it is running so that I can connect to that .
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
If you haven't set up mac filtering, then it won't be a problem.. if you have, then there should be an option to disable/remove any you've input - build security up from a working setup.

Have you (can you borrow) a laptop that you can setup wireless with a dynamic ip address and check that connects; if that's okay then the router is setup correctly.

So I the Alpine comes up with "connected to network" but the ip address is 169.x.x.x ..

This means that the Alpine has not been allocated a usable ip-address by the router for some reason and you'll get nowhere until this happens.

Your other PCs.. are they set to dynamic ip addresses - I guess so as you have no room for static addresses. You should probably check they're all dynamic as if (say) you've allocated a static ip address of 192.168.0.2 to one of them and then DHCP tries auto-allocating addresses, I guess there could be a conflict (don't know how clever dhcp is). Usually I would set the DHCP range to 192.168.0.100 -> 192.168.0.200 (allowing 100 different dynamic addresses).

Have you checked that authentication is set top 'Open' and Data Encryption 'Disabled' on the Alpine; and ensure you've disabled (temporarily) all router security..?

Kev
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] nilocsss:
Thanks kev for replying.

I have a hard wired lead to the router for one computor and 3 laptops connected by wifi and another computor connected by wifi.

the range or should I say the ip addresses are 192.168.0.3,192.168.0.4

upto 192.168.07.I,m at work at the moment but as soon as I get home tonight I'll set the wep key to disabled is there any other thing on the router that I need to do?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
Can't think of anything else...

But at least you know DHCP is working if the other PCs are getting ip addresses okay.

And you know the wireless is working...

So it does look likely that it will be something to do with WEP/WPA encryption... (I guess you've got it setup at home), hence why the router isn't allocating you an ip-address.

If you can't get it going, it may be worthwhile doing some sceenshots of the router configuration pages (or config files)...

What I can tell you is that what you are doing looks correct and you have everything setup so you can go on the internet whilst at home using the Alpine. Mine uses the router whilst at home and GPRS whilst out.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] voxshots:
The dg834GT is pretty much the one that Virgin use, like I said in my earlier post.

I have found these particular routers to be a problem (sometimes) with my Alpine.

You should try to update the firmware.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] nilocsss:
Well Done Kev!

It was the "open"on the phone and putting "open" on the router.I had to intiallely disable the wep key.then when I got connected,I reactivated the WEP key and I could not connect.So on the phone I unticked the automatically connect to my name of my router name and reput in my encryption key again and I was in and On line.Thanks to both of you(Kevcal and Voxshots) for helping me.Definately could not have done it without you Pair.I like the idea of using the screenshots so I,ll post a screenshot of all the settings on the phone and computor so that anybody else will be able to resolve there problems with all credits going to you people on the bottom!

How do I get to the All Settings? All I can get into is the settings tab on home page and on start page. I cant find All Settings and Today.

Please help!

Thanks
[HD2 General] myth1001:

[HD2 General] FM82:
Oh Thanks. That was simple.

Herez another one..

Is there a stop watch/timer for HD2?
[HD2 General] myth1001:
Well, there isn't one by default. But if you give a search for stop watch or timer in the forum, you can find couple of them.
[HD2 General] FM82:
I have tried, but could not find one. I'll try again.

Also, I don't know how I did this, but I changed some setting so that one my alarm sounds it doesn't show up on the screen and I cant snooze or dismiss it until I unlock screen and then click on notifications and then play with it.

I have the BSB tweaks. Do you think I played with something there? I can't figure out how to fix this..

Thanks so much for your help!
[HD2 General] FM82:
I have found a few timers!

Thanks!
[HD2 General] myth1001:
I have no clue regarding the alarm issue. I think you might have to trace back what you have done to the phone.

Here's one if you haven't found it yet.
[HD2 General] FM82:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nbarishian:
How can I get the GPS Sprint NAV to give me the driving instructions over my bluetooth?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
You're going to have to clarify what you mean "over my bluetooth" over your bluetooth what... stereo... headset?

If you mean stereo you have to pair your bluetooth stereo with your phone... Once paid it should have asked you if you want to connect it via A2DP which is stereo bluetooth (ie all the sound from your phone will be routed to the stereo) then any phone calls or music or GPS directions will be routed to the new audio source. Read the manual of your unit and it should tell you how to pair it.

If you are just trying to pair it with a headset their is a cab file you can install that will have the stereo sounds (as mentioned above) be routed to a headset. I havnt had to use that in ages and ages though so I dont remember what it was called. You'll have to do some searching. What it does is it takes all the audio from your phone and makes it so it can play on simple mono headsets, as opposed to connecting via A2DP to a unit that can actually play stereo audio

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loakyj:
I think it's been simplified a bit over the months since, the only problem with yours if it's new is it may be a higher bootloader version, which can be downgraded to allow rooting. Or might have a SLCD display, although I think they have found ways around that too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattster_spv:
Hi Loakyj,

Thanks for the reply.

I'll have a good read of the Upgrading guide.

Have you personally rooted your Desire?

Is it necessary to root in order to flash a custom Rom?

Are there major benefits of flashing a custom Rom, or are the stock ROMS on a newish device like the Desire good already?

(All of this I will discover soon by wading through pages of threads, just wondered now!)

U can donate to every developer u want but if u like to donate to modaco (becaude he is the best =) ) just go to modaco[.]com .

Hope i answered your questions =)

Thanks to Paul! He ist the man ! Everyone donate to him! =)=)=)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
There's nothing wrong with sense at all in terms of functionality, people just prefer a change I guess and it's mainly down to personal preference... for example, many people who have made the changeover from the traditional Windows Mobile GUI are probably wanting something different, hence the reason for customised ROMs to unlock the full potential of the device.
