So when I got my Bold I could connect to any wi fi network and go browsing. But all of a sudden I can scan for the net works name is shown above the time in the middle where the mobile network is shown but when I try to connect to the network or open a web opage it says unable to find ip address. I have no idea what has happened please help as this has been happening for a while. any suggestions would be amazing thankyou.
thanks

1st thing to try when you suddenly have odd trouble with the blackberry: Remove the battery for about 30 seconds.

Have you tried that yet?

Check Data Services in Mobile Network options and make sure it is not set to off.

You may have to continue doing that when you leave wifi in order to turn off that notice; and just remember to enable data services again when you are in wifi again.



EDIT # 2. Forget my last edit. If you disable mobile network, you disable phone. Dumb suggestion. Forget what I wrote.

Turn off wifi on your phone - then go to Settings/options/advanced options/host routing table - highlight WiFi(60) and press the blackberry key, then "Register Now". Now, back out and enable wifi. Wait about 5 minutes and see if it does the trick....

when i click the host routing table there are no options apart from register now when i click the options button next to the roller ball

yes, thats what you do.
you highlight wifi(60) entry with the trackball, then hit the bb menu key, and scroll to Register now, and click.

[gravitate]

there is no wifi(60) option though :(

[miamirulz29]

Are you sure there is no wifi60 option? What is there then?

[gravitate]

yes I am 100% sure. when I click host routing table it says *No Entries*

[MidnightDraven]

of course, because you don't have a data plan.
who is your carrier?

Thought so. Thanks for the update. I'm happy it's working for you now.

[MidnightDraven]

He/she wasn't in wifi at the time and had to wait until such time to find out if that was the fix or not.
