unable to join network...

[cursive08]

i have an adhoc network. tried resetting all my settings, creating the network over and over again. wep encrypted password, sometimes not, still doenst work. i get an ip, and the wifi bars at the top while its loading, and then it says unable to join network "ssid-name" and then i click join again. it goes through but it doent save. i go to the spring board and it just drops the wifi like that. used to happen before but it started working somehow. but i had to reset all my settings for sound issues. and its wont just stay connected very annoying.

anyway this works for me: join another wifi (a normal one) and when ur conencted, join the adhoc one... should connect without error now, and it wont disconnect either.... works from now on, no need to repear steps


btw, found it by luck

this happened to me for awhile when I was on 1.1.2 and wasn't using.
WEP encryption I kept looting my connection on my iPhone and then would click my router and it wouldn't be able to connect. At first it would work for a little by just going to the setting and turning the wifi off and back on but that was annoying. So I put WEP encryption on at my router and updated to 1.1.4 (around the same time) and havnt had a problem since

Hi Friends,

I had faced same problem of connecting iPad2 wifi to secure ad hoc network created in my ubuntu 11.04 OS. After moderate trial-n-error I find solution to this problem.

Create Ad-hoc wifi network with WEP 40/128 bit key (Hex or ASCII).
Now iPad2 (IOS 5.0.1) will show this newly created network.

nJoy !!!!
