| title: | maemo users RE Home networking with Nokia |
|
Hi,
Ive been unsuccessful at getting this device to work with my functional
home network using a Linksys wireless access point.
I configured the Nokia device in exactly the same way I did my Windows PCs.
I specified infrastructure mode, and, using the "Advanced " option, a
10.0.0.x IP address, subnet mask; gateway address, DNS addresses, etc., as
well as the same (HEX - 26 characters) 128 bit WEP key that I use with my
other PCs.
When I try to connect to a Web site, I get a "Network Problem" error
message.
I called Nokia technical support, but the tech person was clueless (but
tried to be helpful).
What things should I try ?
What information should I provide to help you troubleshoot this problem ?
Thanks,
Howard
The first thing Id try is to connect to the Linksys AP directly. What is its address? I would expect something like 10.0.0.1. Type rel="nofollow" 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 and see if that works. If it does then the WEP key is okay but the gateway, subnet mask or dns addresses are wrong. What are the exact values you have for those?
Peter
