stops working ! ? it never started. It gets connected and stays connected but not able to browse (no outbound nor inbound connections)

Power is at the maximum
Wlan transmission power: 100mW
power saving: on(maximum)

I try to connect to a wifi access point from my nokia n900 and here is what happens

1. IT gets connected but am not able to browse any websites - says server not found

2. Tried connecting my laptop to the same internet connection and it works well ! ! !

How to proceed ?
Are there any firewall filters at the access point that deny access to your N900?

Dude, switching off the power saving mode actually worked ! :) For my home connection.

Strange how it worked without switching it off for other wifi connections !

any idea why this difference ?

If the access point is the gateway and has 192.168.1.1 then your N900 should get something like 192.168.1.2 manually (check if that IP address is not used elsewhere in your private network).

I always disable DHCP in my private network and set adresses of the
machines manually.
Machine 1 ... 192.168.1.10
Machine 2 ... 192.168.1.11
N900... 192.168.1.12
Access Point = Gateway = 192.168.1.1
and so on.

Worked all the time.
Even with N900 as "just another machine in the network".

Re: Strange wifi problem
 
People thank you everybody for the support. . .

The problem is solved - it was the power saving mode. I switched it off and it got connected !

However for connecting to few other wifi access points its not required to disable power saving mode to connect - i wonder why ! ?
