    Wifi problem

    Hi,

    Today, I finally got my M8 first ed. back to me after sening it to the meizu factory.
    I tried everything and everything was working, until... I tried to use my wifi:
    I activated it, put my code when asked to connect to my router and the wifi symbol appeard next to the batery...
    It launched operameizu and then I receive a network failure and this message:

    Windows CE Networking
    DHCP was unable to obtainan IP address. If the netcard is removable, then you can remove/reinsert it to have DHCP make another attempt to obtain an IP address for it. Otherwise, you can statically assign an address.

    I went to the setting of my ntwork and tried with and without static ip, and when it's off, the numbers in ip submask, won't change.
    I deleted every networks, rebooted and I still have the same message...

    Any idea? thanks in advance.

    I just hope, they didn't messed up with it in china, because it cost me more that 100$ to have it fixed and now I have this new problem...

    first of all, try to connect with dhcp to a friend's network, so you can be sure it's not your router causing the problems (mac filter enabled ?).

    Ok, I will try this, but something strange happened. I tried another time, before turning on my notebook, and what I saw is that the ip adress was show correctly, but then when I tried opera, bing, same error and the ip numbers were back to 0.0.0.0...
    Now, I couldn't reproduce the experiment.
    Any idea? Weird.

    I hate that to.
    This is what i do:
    'Delete' (you see it below if you go the the screen with the ip 0.0.0.0)
    'Forget all Networks'
    Retype the wpa/wep key for access to the router.

    Thanks LVL for passing by. I had done that already, type the code logged in and launched opera:
    "No network connection. Check setting!"
    I check them, full of 0.0.0.0 and DNS 8.8.8.8
    :S

    Ok, we might want to begin with the first simple question.
    What is the firmware you are using right now?

    I would say that to!
    Install the latest firmware, please.
    I think you problem should be solved by this.
    If it is not, something might be wrong with your router.

    I don't think ad-hoc network is supported. You'll have to setup your pc wlan as an access point. If your wlan driver does not support that, you'll have to get yourself a hardware wlan router (there a nice ones from TP-Link for under 50 bucks).
