I am not advocating using an open network but as a temporary measure as a test.
Also, if you use the ip address of a site rather than its url does that work, may be a dns lookup issue? Can you access your router's management page from your phone? Just a couple of suggestions. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bernard Hemmings Sent: 15 September 2010 12:11 To: Talks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Talks] technical differences between wifi on phonesversesrouters. I have tired the automatic ip address option or dhcp and the only difference was the error invalid server name came up in 2 seconds instead of ten seconds. The phone access point was using wep for as I told the branch manager running an open wireless network is not an option more should it have to be. I will try the laptop type connection when I get the phone back on the air. I decided to format the phone because apart from the network problem. When I opened the talks window often the e72 would beep but no error message was spoken. I've never heard that before but figured the install must have gone a bit strange.
