Re: I need help with my Android phone, connecting to my wireless router
Dear list-members, May I request that the Linux-IL list members take a bold step and leave all sarcasm at the door before entering? Generally, the sarcastic message can be conveyed in a businesslike manner, without having to resort to pejorative comments. Before sending the message, keep in mind that it's unpleasant to be the butt of such comments – and it might come back to you. What goes around comes around.

Re: I need help with my Android phone, connecting to my wireless router
1. Is there MAC filtering or any other filter? 2. DHCP definitions ( are you using it at all? ) 3. Router constraints: number of connected users etc. I hope you get my drift.

Re: I need help with my Android phone, connecting to my wireless router
Dear list members, Please restrain your email to this mailing list to Linux related issues (in a previous email I explained that only if you are hacking the android kernel, then the post is fine). There is even another list for newbies. If you are not sure if your post is revelant to the list: please first search the miling list archive to see if the topic has been banned already. If you still think that you are ready to post a no Linux related message, prepend the subject line with OT (out of topic) Thanks, Meir On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 9:26 AM, Alan Yaniger a...@tkos.co.il wrote: Dear list-members, May I request that the Linux-IL list members take a bold step and leave all sarcasm at the door before entering?

Maybe something here will help you http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/35598-wifi-wont-connect-using-wpa-wpa2-3.html It's for the droid x, but people report similar problems. Never had your problem with my phone, so it's hard to comment from personal experience.
