Nowadays, internet connection based on WiFi is not a strange things again. In every place like supermarket, cafe, in de office, school its exist and free hahaha . So, last month, when i decided to buy a new gadget, i prefer to choose nokia e61 than netbook or its brother e71 or e90 (cause limited budget indeed
)
I usually use it when i’m in de office, when i’m not in ma room, its become a portable and usefull thing to keep exist in internet world hakakkak
.. Wifi connection in ma offcie use WEP keys and it’s not use DHCP to deploy its ip address..
In the earlier time, i confused, how to make it works when i want to connect to a network with WEP otorization. It doesn’t work when i first try it in ma rooms. I have time to think, maybe ma Wifi in ma gadget is broken or what?? To check whether ma gadget still has its function properly, I tried it connect to the network in de front building that has no key authorization and DHCP of course
.. Hopefully it works, so the mistake is not from the gadget itself.. maybe i had wrong configured the connection ..
So, little ba little i tried to solve it .. When i realized that ma wifi connection use non DHCP, i figured that i must set the address manually .. Googling and blogwalking, at least it solved
Here the step that i’ve done to make it :
1. I saved it as an access point, so that i figure it first.
Choose menu -> Setting ->Connection
when new windows appear choose on your left buton (option -> New Access Point ->Use Default Setting)
2. Connection name : E61Wifi
Data Bearer : Wireless LAN
WLAN Netw. Name : {set the name of your wifi network, i recommended you not
enter it manually, choose Search for Netw}
Netw. Status : public
WLAN Netw. Mode : Infrastructure
WLAN Security Mode : WEP
WLAN Security Setting :
– WEP Key in Use = 1
– Authentication type = Open
– WEP Key Setting =
* WEP Encryption : 64 bits
* WEP Key Format : Hexadecimal
* WEP Key : {fill with network key, if you don’t know, ask to your network admin,
if you can’ get it from him, try to use Cain & Adel
}
3. Access Point created ![]()
in case you have to connect to a network without DHCP, you must set IP address manually. Back to the access point menu, choose AP that just you setted. Choose options -> Advanced Setting . If your network use IPV6 standard, you must set in the IPV6 setting. Indeed, cause ma network still use IPV4 standard, i choose IPv4 setting.
set IP Address in Phone IP address, its subnet mask, defaut gateway bla bla bla.. If you don’t know precisely the resources, go back to your admin, if he don’t want to give it, just kick his ass
Once you get it on your e61, you ready to surf on it ..
Hope usefull, regards
