I've noticed that my PDA2K has a "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet adapter under Network Cards. My K-Jam does not...and because of that, I can't specify a network IP to use at work. Does anyone have a wireless adapter other than the SDIO adapter (which is only used with an SD card)???? If so, how did you get it?
Tom
I probably need some enlightenment here, but why do you need one, connect to my wireless lan without any additional wireless adapters. Also picked up wireless hotspots around town, though not tried to connect.
My work is static only...no DHCP. So, I need to set an IP address for my K-Jam in order to get on the network. Same with my laptop. The PDA2K allows for this while the K-Jam does not because of the lack of a Network Card adapter in the Connection Settings.

I don't get you. The SDIO is the internal Wlan adapter. The first setting you can make is use an IP-adress obtained by DHCP or a static one....

N!co is correct. If you select that SDIO adapter (which is the driver for the internal SDIO wireless hardware) you get the option to enter a static IP etc.
I thought the SDIO was for the SD Wifi Card Adapters that you stick in the SD slot. But, heck, I'll give it a shot. Be back later.
Tom
I FEEL STUPID.
That's what I get for listening to a guy that doesn't have one of these...My friend told me the SDIO adapter was for SD wifi cards. WRONG.
Thanks guys!!! That took care of it! I'm now back on the network!! I've only been fighting this issue for 4 days now.
Now, let me ask this, my home wifi is dhcp. Is there a way to switch IP addresses so I can go to both easily? Work static, home dynamic, with the touch of a button???
Thanks,
Tom

I am trying to get my O2 XDA mini to connect to my home network.
When wi-fi is on it picks up my Network as well as two neighbours! However I can't make any connection.
My home network is based on static IPs so I presume I need to configure a connection associated with the in-built Network Adapter. However there are multiple adapters listed - which is the wifi adapter please?
the list is;
AsyncMac NDISWAN-miniport
PPTP NDISWAN-miniport
Remote NDIS-host
L2TP NDISWAN-miniport
NE2000 compatible Ethernet driver
Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Miniport
SDIO WLAN Wireless
Also what is the difference between Work and Internet option? Is this just arbitrary naming of two optional connections?
And is there a way to Internet Explorer default to wifi connection rather than dial-up.
Thanks.
I would think the one that says WLAN (Wireless Lan) in it.
Surely it would be better to turn on DHCP? it does make life so much simpler....
I thought it might be the SDIO WLAN Wireless but the SDIO threw me - I thought it referred to an inserted card.
I change the power/battery settings to performance and it worked.
Could someone please help? I;ve got a spectec wifi card, WM5 driver. I get the antenna symbol, but no bars or signal strength. I 'configure' the wlan 11b network adapter for server assigned IP address AND connection to 'the internet' but no joy. Is there something at the router end i need to do?
What device are you using? why the WM5 driver? Is that driver also backwards compatible with WM2003?
Its the compact II, hence wm5. The spectec wlan card is backwards compatible with wm2003, but drivers are specific to the os (at least that's my understanding) Well, when i tap on IE i just get 'connecting' and that's it. Any ideas? Spectec don;t seem to be responding...i don;t know if its a driver issue or what...

You'll get the answers in the correct forum. Just go to the link above.
Mda Compact II, htc-charmer,etc,etc..but what's in a name? Man, this is the right place ?!?
my mistake....keep forgetting that there is a Charmer out there :lol:
There isn't an official forum for the Charmer as yet in this site....what is your router brand? Can the WLAN detect the SSID of your router? Is the SSID broadcast in your router switched on?
First thing is that your Wi-Fi must be able to detect that there is an access point nearby and should at least pick up the SSID of your network.

You'd be better off using the DHCP to "ON" on your wifi server. But if you manually configure it to use your own IPs, you also need to manually configure the IP settings on your Handheld. I cant tell specific details of how to do it on your handheld because i dont use spectec wifi card. But you should be able to look at its settings and tweak it.
Also make sure, as O2mininoob above said that your SSID must be Broadcast. Also make sure that MAC address filtering is OFF, otherwise you also have to manually input your handheld's MAC address.
Let me just add, i'm running apple-mac wireless networking - does that really matter? I can access wireless via non-Mac laptops - a second point, the spectec wlan utility on the mda won't open even after reinstalling.
Ok, I;ve disabled all restrictions on wireless clients on the base station -
But i;m not sure what SSID is, nor can i find anything about broadcasting under the settings.
P.S But there's one thing i don't get which might be of some significance (or probably not!)
1. Under the 'internet' tab on the PC (not the mda) which deals with TCP/IP settings, i'm showing one IP address which is teh same as the router address.
2. Under the 'network' tab (which deals with how the base-station's internet connection is shared with other computers) I'm sharing a single IP address using dhcp which is different from the above IP and router address.
Does the difference between 1 & 2 mean anything? Three laptops in the place are connecting without problems.
Well, thanks for any light on the matter
Sorry i dont know anything about apple-mac networking, but, if your other computers can connect to your router, then theres no problem with your router...
the problem might be with the way you connect your handheld to your router...
you configure your handheld the way you configured your computers to connect to your router.
about SSID> on your hanheld, if you perform a search for wireless network, can it find your wireless network name? (example> ''Belkin Wireless'' or ''Netgear'').
if your handheld fiinds it, then dont worry with SSID as im sure it is being broadcast.
also, make sure that wireless mode is set to both 802.11b and g.
My Spectec card came with drivers and a WLAN Utility program. When you run this program, it usually displays the SSID with the strongest signal. Do you have it installed in your PPC? What does it say when you run it?
Also, go to Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. If your Spectec driver was installed correctly, you'll have a window displaying all the SSID's that the card has detected. Tap and hold on your router's SSID and tap connect.
HTH. Good luck.
Spectec tells me that the wlan utility is incompatible with WM5. And i;m not getting a list of any SSID's. I've pretty much given up! Cheers for the feedback.
There's a WM2005 Spectec Driver here. Maybe you can try downloading this one, un-install the one in your PPC and install the new one.
Good luck.

I have just purchased a dopod 838. While I enjoy it very much, I do have one problem I don't seem to be able to solve. The problem is as follows: my device finds and connects to my Wi-Fi net, it indicates that the signal is good (and the net is an open one, no need for any password), but even though I am connected, I can not browse the Internet or send or receive e-mails. I tried to find answers in the user guide, but all I find there are generalities. I guess it has something to do with the settings on my device, but it is really frustrating, as the main reason I switched to the 838 modal is the Wi-Fi. I think the problem may be connected to the Network Adapters. When I check the Network Adapters I see the following list:
PPTP NDISWAN Minipot
L2TP NDISWAN Minipot
AsycMac NDISWAN Minipot
Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Minipot
Remote-NDIS Host
NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver
SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor
The only one that is indicating the IP Address is the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor, but is it the one to use out of the list? And if so, I do I do that? How do I set it to be the default adaptor?
Please help...
Thanks
Benny
I only do the setup one time for my friend. Hope that can help.
If the network hadn't any protect, you can just choice this on the screen when this had been found. It don't need any setup for a unprotected network.
If the network is protected, "password / soid / encrypt". You need to setup a network card, setting > connection > network card , with all the details before you can use the network.
No success
I have many adapters, it seems to me that the only one that is the correct one is the SDIO, but I can not make it the default one.
Internet access through Wi-Fi
If you've created a wireless network between you PC and your device, you need to 'share' your internet access on your PC. Also if you have a Firewall you need to enble that too, for mine it was the generic sub-program 'svchost'. Hope this helps.
no need to set the SDIO Wireless Lan Adaptor to default. That list is just a list and has nothing to do with privilege.
i think the problem is that your Wirelan has some restrictions to access,eg. MAC address. So,ask your network administrator for help ;-)
I have an iMate Jasjar.
WiFi works fine for AvantGo updates and Weather panel updates but Pocket IE and Terminal Server Client refuse to use existing WiFi link! :x
PIE always uses GPRS and if I flight-mode my radio, it simply fails to connect complaining about no GPRS connection! :evil:
Solution:
I installed Opera Browser Beta for PPC. It works over WiFi no problems.
My trial period is nearly up so they'll get some of my money. :wink:
hi, im not able to connect to the net with my wizard.
i dont have a wireless router so am connecting directly to my laptop, the ad hoc connection i have made works fine for file tranfers, but not for activesync or connecting to the web in either PIE or minimo.
i know activesync isnt possible but surely i should be able to use the broaband from my laptop?
any pointers would be greatly appreciated. software? settings?
its a t-mobile uk vario with qtek test rom.
also anyone know of a remote control utility, i use logmein but would like something a little more menu/macro based for control of media.
cheers

Try turning on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on your laptop; that'll make your laptop act a bit more like a router, providing NAT services to the Wizard.
yeah i've tried that, and i've just tried bridging connections (dont really know much about that) but that hasnt worked either.
kevo
My configuration
Me too, I use ADHOC connection for my WLAN.
PC configuration:
ADSL connection shared
Adress IP:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
PocketPC configuration:
Adress IP:192.168.1.55 Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS:80.10.246.2 for Wanadoo
Your problem is certainly the DNS.
You can put 192.168.1.1 too.
so it is possible? cool!.......but im still having problems.
i cant figure out how to enter these settings, not to sure where to put them,
iv tried puttin the DNS in the -> connections -> vpn
and -> network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter
sorry to be a pain, but could you point me to where to get each address and where to put them?
also is there anything particular you did to set up the adhoc network? i just used the Windows XP wizard and then ticket the AdHoc option after.
my laptop is conected to the router and the router is connected to aol adsl.
the ip address of my laptop is showing as a simple 10.0.0. number on the LAN but "Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.235.147" for the WLAN
none of my setup has a static ip address, could this be causing the problems?
thanks
kevo
It's more hazardous without static adress but it's can work.
My PC has directly access to the Internet with a ADSL modem.
It's here (network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter )
Apparently, it's ok for your PC and the Ad-Hoc mode.
Maybe, you should have your adress IP WLAN on the same network adress of your router.
I GOT IT WORKING!!!
I started again from scratch.
set a new WLAN. added new setup to the vario, added the DNS etc to the vario.
the problem i was having was the way i was sharing the internet connection, i was trying to shared the internet from the wireless to the lan rather than the internet from the lan to the wireless (if that makes sense to anyone!!!). i also ticked all the connection sharing services to allow them, just need to go through them and see which i dont need now.
thanks for the help guys

(its showing my transfer rate as 11Mbps, although i think iv done the G tweak and my laptop says its got a G card. what speeds should i be getting?)
I don't use DHCP on my WiFi router. What network adapter do I put the right settings into? There's like 10 of them...

On mine its called "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter" . When I connect to my WiFi router I can see the DHCP IP thats assigned show up on that one.
