How do I Fix this? I Can`t name it or secure it. If I do it shows up to all the computers as "Other Network" Which means its being set as an Hidden SSID and they have to type the Network name and the password. The only time it shows up as a wireless network is if I name it LG. I can still connect to it fine and okay but I`d prefer it to be a normal network not a hidden one
Yes I know there is an option for it to be hidden and in which its not set to hide

Have the o2 XDA IIs. Just got it yesterday actually. Playing around with it. I tried out a lot of things and they seem to work fine except for the internet on WIFI. Its working fine on GPRS.
I have manually configured the wifi connection with the WEP, IP address, gateway and DNS.
I open Internet explorer and its not working. it says THE PAGE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CANNOT BE FOUND. When wifi is off, it connects to GPRS and it works fine.
Anyone else have this sort of a problem? I just came upon this site today. Read about the omega battery pack pro. I installed the trial version. Seems to be a good software. Anyone know if I can obtain it for free? The set cost me a lot already.
ok.. coming back to wifi. Anyone have any ideas how I can make it work?
check dns
if you can see network in batery pack pro check if wifi gives you a dns server and an ip
if it doenst you have to check you wifi config
Hi, I have the same problem too !
Mine is XDA II, no problem to surf net when hook-up to PC throught USB cable, but not with Wifi SD card. I check IP all normal.....any idea ?
how about dns?
do you check if there is one?
you can do that with batery pack pro
and you have to set network card to internet
check it please
How do you connect to the interent? There's a catch to that question because you have the option to choose "My ISP" or "My Work Network" in the Connection Properties. You should select "My Work Network" then tick the box where it says "This network connects to the internet". If you never want to connect via gprs cause it's so damn expensive, choose "My Work Network" for both internet access options.
Hi all, Thanks for response !
My Setting:
Connections > My Work Network > Advanced > Select Networks > My Work Network > Proxy Settings > Tick: The network connects to the Internet, UnTick: The network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
Configure Network Adapters > My network card connects to "The Internet"
Tick: SanDisk Wi-Fi SD Card > IP Address > Tick: Use server-assigned IP address, UnTick: Use specific IP address.
Hope to solve it.......Thanks !!
I have the HTC Touch HD for a few days now and I love it.
I only have the following problem with wireless network connection.
At home I am using a dynamic IP address at work an static address (wtih different DNS and gateway settings)
Does someone knows an program to set these settings for the different connections?
Thanx!
No one any idea
I think other persons will have the same problem. A tool should be available right?
you shouldn't have any issues really. It's odd that you doi. I use mine to connect to multiple wireless networks and it all works fine.
When you turn on the wireless to connect to a new network it will pop up at the bottom and tell you the networks it has found. Then you choose the network you want and connect to it. This will then store it as a favourite connection. Once this has been done whenever you turn on your wireless it will look for networks in range and then automatically connect to which ever one is in range in the Favourite connection list.
Your connection list can be accessed through Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi then Wireless networks. It may be advisable to delete them all and start again if you are having problemss.
Thanks

You're right for the wifi settings. But the ip settings (static / dynamic gateway dns) are not set through the wireless connection.
But I have found a program called wifiprofiles which does exactly what I want
hi
Does anyone know what i can do to connect to a hidden network at work?
it is secured by wep and hidden. My iphone sees it and connect no probs. it seem to be affecting htc phones onyl, no matter what the rom is.
i cannot access the access point at all to check anything
It is some HTC foul up. Neither my wife's Desire or my DHD will see my Netgear WLAN when SSID is hidden. All other devices are fine.
Uhh did you try to just add the network (manually enter SSID, encryption, password)? This should work with hidden WiFi networks too.
Oh and on a side note. Hiding WiFi networks is completely useless in terms of security. Every moron who can use Google & download the right tool will be able to find it.
Try changing security on your router from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK. With my TP Link TL-WR1043ND router that worked.
Had the same problem connecting to my University's Wi-Fi, thankfully they made a guide how to do it on androids. Try following the steps here but editing for your network.
When Wifi is hidden it's hidden so it wouldn't be picked up by a average person thus you need to enter information manually, same as on PC. Though hidden networks are really not that hidden lol they just don't broadcast the SSID.

thank for you helpful input, i know hiding ssid is pointless. i do not manage the network.
and yes i did try to add manuall, else why would i know it does not connect?
On previous android file systems I was able to manually assign the phone a static ip, dns, gateway, subnet, however I can't seem to figure out how to do it on ICS. Can this no longer be done or has it been moved somewhere in settings I'm overlooking? I'm having trouble connecting to my home network, however I know if I set up everything manually using static values I'll be set. I go to Settings -> Wifi -> : -> Advanced -> but nothing there to change the phone static information.
-EDIT-
Nevermind got it, but have another question below. Under wifi, hold the network and then choose modify. Put in IP address you want phone to be, gateway for router, Internet DNS information, and the subnet 24 for 255.255.255.0. I did it wrong the 1st time and assuming it was asking for router info and IP and not to assing the phone a specific IP address too
Long press on your networks SSID in the list of available networks and select 'modify network'. From here you can set everything manually.
Long press on the access point you want to change the settings for and choose "modify network". From the pop up window tick "show advanced options".

Thanks guys I figured it out. When I originally did that I thought it was for router info, so I stuck the IP address of the router in IP slot and not gateway at the time. Went back in and it just dawned on me. Back to setting up the new toy.
Don't want to waste space with a new thread, but must the router be broadcasting? I've always been able to setup without broadcasting the router, however I turned off wifi and turned it on and ICS cannot find the router and connect unless I'm broadcasting. I prefer to not broadcast my router for the neighborhood to see, despite having security encryption on
I have the LM-F100N unlocked from SKT. I noticed that I cannot connect to hidden wifi even though I entered the SSID and password. Any ideas?
