I am trying to connect to internet through my home network (or in my work place), I tried several times, the connection is OK (it shows connected), but when I tried to go to an internet address (such as cnn.com, google.com), it freezes and I cannot even turn it off (Have to reset from the backside).
Re: Palm freezes when trying to connect to internet
It could be related to DNS, in which case you will need to address your network settings, but on a Palm it is more likely a memory/ software issue. Try using something like AvantGo which caches pages locally to make sure that the device has the memory and capability to actually use the pages your trying to load. Then diagnose whatever browser your using possibly reinstalling it.

If you're having trouble connecting your Lenovo Yoga 910 to your home network, the first thing you should do is check to see if the device is compatible with your network.
To do this, simply go to the settings menu on your Yoga 910 and look for the "Network" or "Wireless" section. Once you're in this section, you should see a list of all the compatible networks in your area.
If your home network is not listed, that means it's not compatible with your device and you'll need to find a different way to connect to the internet.
If it is, check to see if the drivers are up to date:
If your home network is compatible with your Lenovo Yoga 910, the next step is to check and see if the drivers for the device are up to date.
To do this, go to the Yoga 910's settings menu and look for the "System Updates" section. Once you're in this section, you should see an option to check for updates. If there are any updates available, be sure to install them before trying to connect to your home network again.
Do you try to connect to the Internet when at home or away from home ? At home, you need to have a wireless (WiFi) network to connect your tablet to and then access the Internet from your tablet. Away from home you need to find an OPEN WiFi network (usually in public places such as coffee shops, bookstores, etc) to connect to. Or you can get an USB mobile/cellular modem from your cellular provider to attach to the USB port on your tablet and access the Internet at home and/or away from home (this option will cost you money). You also need to install on your tablet apps that will access the Internet (browsers, Pandora, Youtube, etc.).
Hello piscus567, What you are having seems to a common issue with the Nokia C3. I had one and I had the same issue when I first got it. Unfortunately I had to keep trying several times before it connected. But when I finally got it to work, I use the same pattern when trying to connect. First off make sure you are trying to connect with wifi. At the home screen, click down and scroll through until you get WLAN and select it. Go to avaliable WLAN and find the network you want to connect to. Make sure the signal is strong. Once you click it, enter the password and it should say you are connected. Exit back out to the home screen. Go to menu and go to internet. Click on Home, and it usually it ask's search WLAN. So I go through the same process as mentioned earlier. Connect to your wifi network. Once connected try reloading again. Hopefully this should work. Unfortunately you will have to keep trying over and over if it does not work. It will work, you just got to be patient. Good luck.

I have a palm TX and it usually just sits for a minute or two when I use blazer. I have also found out that the pda will always reset itself and it only freezes when it has a lot going on. It stays frozen for a while, but eventually unfreezes. As for the home button, it's probably worn down. My power button and my up button have almost completely stopped working.
it doesnt make any difference in what coutry you are. if you say it works at home it should work in other places too. check the ip configuration. if you have static ip&dns try to switch to automatically (dhcp). If dhcp is already set ask for network settings because maybe the access point you are trying to connect to doesn't provide dhcp or it has mac filtering.
on your Internet explorer browser go to tools and then select internet options and then click on the connections tab, make sure that the never dial connection is selected.
This can happen if the wireless network you're trying to connect to is password protected. If you can see the name of the Wi-Fi network you're trying to connect to and there is a padlock symbol next to the name then you'll have to enter the WEP or WPA-PSK security keys. If this is not the case and this is your home wireless system which is unprotected then I suspect what's going on is that you may need to enter a DNS server number for your network on the Palm. To do this, select a wi-fi network you're trying to connect to, click edit, choose "configure", click on "Details". Where it says "Connect to:" select "infrastructure" then click on the "Advanced..." buttton. Try putting in the DNS server number manually for your internet service provider.
Is the computer recognizing the connection to the network? Does the home network use DHCP? How do you have the network setup? Does this connection work with a different computer? Try pinging any other computer on the network, and try pinging a website.
You have established a bluetooth connection between your Palm and your PC, but you probably haven't configured your internet connection to be shared with the Palm.
o do so, open My Network Places by right-clicking it and selecting Properties.
The Bluetooth Network adapter was automatically created during the Bluetooth installation. Right click the icon and select Properties.
In the General tab select the Internet Protocol components and click Properties.
Write down all the information from the next dialog, and click Cancel.
Back in the Adapter properties, select the "Sharing" tab and check "Enable Internet Connection Sharing for this connection".
Now, to configure the Bluetooth USB, right-click the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select Advanced Configuration.
Change to the Local Services tab and double click "Network Access".
Change the type of service to "Allow other devices to acces the Internet/LAN via this computer".
The alternative to this option will allow your device to connect to your computer as part of a LAN, but will not have internet access.
Note the Configure Connection Sharing button: it'll open the configuration screens we've visited before. But some Bluetooth software will not have this button, hence I guided you through the other route .
On your Palm device, a new Connection configuration is needed. From the Palm Launcher open the Prefs application, and switch to Connection.
You'll see a list of connections and will tap the New... button.
You can assign any meaningful name to this connection. Select the values as indicated in this image. Tap the device name to choose what computer will be used for this connection. Make sure your computer is in discoverable mode. If you tap the Details button you'll see the next screen.
Now create a new Network access configuration, using the connection created in the previous steps. Tap Network to go to the next screen.
Tap the New... button and enter a name for your Network access configuration. You shouldn't need a username and password. Tap the Connect button and you should see your LAN connection initiating.
To make sure the connection is working, still in the Connect dialog, tap the menu Preferences and select Options. Choose View Log and the screen you see will show the negotiation between the Palm and the DHCP server on the network.
To check your DNS is working, scroll to the bottom of this log, and enter PING and a hostname. Use the Return stroke as an Enter and
If your connection does not complete, or if your Palm shows a Timeout error, try adding a script to this connection. This is common with Palm OS 4. Newer versions of Palm OS should not need any script to work.
From the Network dialog, tap the Details button. On the next dialog tap the Script button.
On this script dialog enter the following:
SEND CR
DELAY 1
SEND CLIENT
WAITFOR CLIENTSERVER
END
Hope this works!
