Wireless PDA on home network connection problem.
I recently bought a SMC2642W wireless card for my iPAQ 3635 and I am having issues getting
it to work with my network. I will try to give a brief discription of my network below. - DSL connection routed through a Linksys 4-port router. - On the network I have a Uniden wireless router WNR2004 configured to be a hub. - From that hub I have two machines running on it. - Desktop runnign WinMe - Laptop running Win98 (wireless) - On the iPAQ from the Wireless LAN settings menu I can see the Uniden router - My signal and link bars are maxed out - I am unable to ping any of the other machines on my home network. (All the other machines can see each other) - I do not see any activity lights blink on the wireless router when I try pinging via the iPAQ. Do I look at the iPAQ as the wirelless laptop is working? Thanks |

goofy question:
Did you download/load the Win CE drivers for your PDA? |

Yes, the drivers were installed via the CD that came with the CF WiFi card.

Will the CE read NTFS or FAT natively?
I would think you would have to have syncing software installed on the machine/s you want to see... is it?

If possible, check the card for functionality in another device (like a laptop)....

Other deivices work fine. The card in the PDA works fine. The router does not seem to be recoginixing the PDA is what I am thinking.

Are you sure TCP/IP is installed on the Ipaq and is it pulling a proper IP address?
I'd personally exchange that Uniden for a standalone wireless access point or use it for everything retiring the Linksys - I've never had good luck trying to use a wireless router as a standalone WAP in a system that already has a router. Does the Uniden have the latest firmware? |
