Hello, I have an ipaq 3630 running PPC 2002, I have a DCF-660w wireless card
connected. I am running a small home wireless network consisting of My Pc
linked by ethernet cable to wireless router, my sons Pc is connected to the
wireless network via a USB network adapter, My Laptop via centrino all of
these are working fine except the ipaq. I downloaded and installed the
dcf-660w utility onto the ipaq and reset the ipaq to accept the new
software. I went through the setup procedure and the ipaq is showing full
strength signal on my wireless network, the problem is that I cannot use the
internet explorer to access the internet and my device has not been picked
up in workgroup computers. Please tell me what I am doing wrong

That first sentence should read...

Does your network SSID and WEP key on the PPC match the network SSID and WEP key on the access

Thanks Al,
I have just been onto the d-link people who tell me that the version of the
drivers that I downloaded off thier site was the wrong version so after an
hour on the phone talking to this lady she sends me to an ftp site to get
the latest utility. It scans and attaches itself to the network but I cannot
ping anything, it wont let me connect to the web. I really dont understand
the connection manager at all.

in network management on the PPC try playing around with the "work" vs.
"internet" settings. switch from "work" to "internet" and visa versa and see
if you can connect. also, the ipaq will not show up under the "workgroup"
on the desktop, even if properly connected.

I thought that my router should automatically assign an ip address, I cannot
ping my PPC on any ip within the network range. I have turned off WEP
encryption on both the router and PPC , I am getting full signal strength
but I cannot use IE on the PPC, it is really frustrating. Is it anything to
do with ZA settings or IE security settings? My PC, Laptop and sons computer
are all talking to the router but not the PPC.
