I wonder if anybody could help me? What it is, is that I am disabled. My fingers are paralysed, and so working the intricate parts of the XDA is quite difficult. It is not impossible, but it is hard.
I also have several friends who are in the same situation as me. 12 months ago they were given xda 2 each for free. None of them have used them much because they are difficult to use, because they are stuck in their ways, and because I don't think they really realise the full potential of these little devices. It has took me 12 months to get hold of one of these, but just within a few days I'm quite bowled over with the potential.
So I wonder if somebody would be prepared to lead me through making the most of my XDA, with my disabilities, so I can also share this knowledge with the other disabled guys who also have this Pocket PC?
The first thing I want to do is set up the basic software, to maximise connectivity with my home network. I have already started this, and had some help in this direction on this forum, but I am still a bit stuck.
I have loaded this Pocket PC software onto my xda 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17410&highlight=jojo . I have windows XP on my desktop computer. This is hardwired to a 3Com wireless router. I have bought a SDIO wireless LAN card. When you install the software, it virtually sets its self up, the connection displays itself, you select it and have a choice between a Internet connection or a work connection. If I choose work, I am able to connect to the Internet and surf the Internet, but I am not able to do an active sync. I have gone into my start menu/settings/connections/network card/network adapters/socket WLAN SDIO V1 driver /name server and set the WINS to the IP address of the computer I want to connect to as somebody suggested to me, but it doesn't work. I also cannot see the other shared directories on my computer's on the network. (I do have Norton security on, but I have tried these with Norton security disabled.)
Can anyone make a suggestion?
Thanks in anticipation, funny keyboard.
I've got a new Cingular 8525, and I've got a problem with WiFi. We support two wireless types at work... WPA-TKIP and DWEP. However, I have to use LEAP authentication. I can't get either to work, which is frustrating because I have a LEAP tab in my wifi settings! Any ideas?
I have the same problem and I am looking for an answer. At our work I found a dude who tried it and he used the Odyssey Client on a Dell Axim. I tried it with the trial version, but still not successfull.
So I would be happy about any news on this.
Greetings everyone...
I have searched high and low to no avail. Does anyone know if there is a way to use LEAp authentication with the I760. I have determined that it was not possible with the 730, however I can't find anything regarding this phone. Even a third-party application would be suitable. I work for a large University that has an awesome wifi network on campus, however LEAP is the only way in. I had it on my old IPAQ running WM 2003 and just would not have imagined that I would not be able to do it with this phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe you should try Funk Odyssey (now is under Juniper network). Dell Axim 51v does has this software pre-install and works for LEAP authentication
Hi, i thought this falls under hacking so I posted it here. First off, allow me to mention that my device is an O2 Atom. I work for a corporation w/c has it own internal security implementation. I'm not sure, if the said corporate security is the reason, that I could not detect any access points(AP)? But my pc w/c also has a custom corporate build, can detect and successfully connect to the APs. Can the corporate restrict or hide it from an unauthrorize personal device, like my O2 Atom?
The wifi in my atom is working fine, as I could verify this by connection from my brothers house, w/c has his on personal internet connection w/ wireless access point(AP) setup. I've also used several wireless detection applications here and there, but still could not detect wifi in the office area. Kindly advice.

The Atom (as far as I'm aware) only supports Wi-Fi 802.11b
One reason is the network you cant see might be a 802.11g or n, which is not able to be connected to.. you can nicely ask your network admin to enable .11b backwards compatability.
Another reason is because they are maybe not broadcasting the network name SSID, your device cant see it - even though it is actually there. I don't know if the Atom has the ability to specify a network connection it cant see.
Hope this helps.

Hi Snachez,
Thank you for taking time to reply The infos you provided are really very useful. If I may be bold to ask further questions:

can a registry tweak enable this 802.11g or n thing? i saw in one of the threads here the said registry tweak and sk tools has this. i tried both but still no luck would you happen to know if it is hardware or is it really possible to strech this capability on atom?

the g/n wifi options are hardware specific, so unless you want to buy a new phone you might be out of luck, sorry to say.
I'm surprised your network admin has not enabled 'b' compatabilty, but there's so many different security concerns he may have done it for the right reasons. Talk to them, it's the only way to be sure (be warned though - a lot of admins wont like you using non-offical hardware on their networks)

hi snachez, our network admin verified that our APs are running on B and G. i've also verified that my unit is B compliant. btw, my device is an O2 Atom. i think i mess it up with the registry tweak i mentioned before. apparently is it for another device. my mistake this is the said registry tweaks:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
Your problem is probably that the SSID isn't being broadcasted, so you'll have to connect manually.
btw, i'm using a cooked rom. maybe there is somebody out there that is still using the official wm5 for o2 atom, please verify and post the default(O2 Atom official wm5) registry of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: Thanks in advance...
I'm using a PDA which bundled a WM6.1, I'm trying to connect my wireless which using Cisco LEAP but failed, I can do that using my previous WM5, anyone tried that successfully? Any comments are appreciated.
Anyone encountered the same problem?
many routers require firmware updates once in awhile to work with newer handheld wifi devices
but it's easy to update them and the manufactors got firmware updates one can dl
otherwise one can often fix issue just by restarting the router as in unpluggin it for 10sec and connect it again
think it's a dhcp issue
I used to have Cisco LEAP as an option with my previous WM5 device (Wizard) and it did work, however we quickly migrated away from LEAP once the WPA standard was adopted and integrated into the WiFi AP's we used (Cisco). I haven't used it for ages, nor have I seem any customers in the last 18-months or so with it still being used on their WiFi infrastructure.
I still have the LEAP option in the 'Wireless LAN' settings on my Kaiser so in theory it should still work, unfortunately I no longer have any WiFi networks I connect to that use LEAP where I could test it....
Implement WPA or WPA2 it's much more secure and you will likely get more support from other users.
