Hi
I want my XDAIIi to connect over GPRS and WiFi at the same time - I use the WifI connection to connect to my laptop so I can project the screen, and I use GPRS to connect to some demo systems.
I've done this sucessfully with the IPAQ 6300, but on the XDAIIi the Wireless Manager seems to let me connect GPRS or WiFi, but not both.
Is there any way round this?
Thanks
i do not want buy a 3g data card for the laptop is it possble to feed the laptop
through wi-fi or with a cable from 3g universal
I dont think you can do it by wifi but you can connect the 2 devices by wifi no issue. I tnihk the same applies to the cable either USB or LAN. However you can by bluetooth. All you need to do is set up the exec to be discoverable and get the lap top to look for bluetooth devices and explore the services on them. You will them see the bluetooth modem. Then all you need to do is to create a link to your mobile operators gprs or 3g internet connection in the usual way. You will need to download the setup specific for your network.
Good luck
Also remeber to up the speed from the default as this assumesgprs and you have afaster connection with 3g.
If you do not have bluetooth on your laptop just buy a BT dongle for about £15 then you are away.

An XDA as a router! Wonder if MS will make a version of the Internet Connection Sharing Wizzard for WM5! LOL
I can see the use but not someone actually making it.
There is a thread on this somewhere.
I connect my universal to my laptop via the sync cable and then the laptop uses the universal as a modem and connects to teh web at 3g speed. The universal comes with wireless modem, you just have to play around to get the drivers on the laptop to see the universal when you plug in.
works well.

thanks eveyone been a geat help
This seems bizarre - but when when my laptop (Acer Travelmate 290) internal wireless card is on, the Atom wifi wont connect to the ADSL wireless router (Netcomm NBSPlus4W ADSL2+). It sees it, try to connect but wont connect.
Switch the laptop wireless off and the atom connects Ok. Its not 100% the case but I have switched the laptop off & on enough times to prove itsmore than just coincidence.
I tried the latest Atom wireless ROM upgrade to ...R00045 but no change.
All the other computers are happy to work together including a desktop & wireless IPAQ PDA, but unfortumatley the Atom just doesn't want to play together!
Any of you gurus have any suggestions. The Atom help desk proclaimed they hadn't heard of this problem!
Thks, Chris
Max #of DHCP users or Defined MAC adresses might be helpful in router settings :?:
What happens if you connect the Laptop to the router by cable? is the Atom then able to connect?
check the settings in your wireless connection for the modem, you will probably find it is restricted to one connection at a time, if your laptop is on but you disconnect the wireless access can you then connect your atom if yes this is the problem.
Cheers
Many thanks to you all for your replies.
The number of connections doesn't seem to be a problem as I tested with a desktop wth ethernet connection, two wireless connected devices (a desktop and a wirelss ipaq pda) plus the laptop via ethernet and the Atom connected ok.
The problem seems only related to the laptop internal wireless as I have now changed the laptop to use only an extemal wireless card and now the Atom always connects ok.
All other wireless devices are happy to connect while the laptop internal wireless is used.... BUT not the Atom.
Has been very frustrating and time wasting - just to identify the source of the problem. As to a fix... if you have any further thoughts or suggestions I'd look forward to hearing from you.
thanks Chris
Hello people,
Is it possible to use an Universal as a wireless NIC? I have a wireless router, can connect the Uni to the router fine but also want to be able to connect a laptop (wich doesnt have a wireless NIC yet). I have tried the wireless modem but that didnt work, tried to share the internet connection but that also did fail. Does anyone has any ideas?
Cheers in advance.
pleassssse help me ,
i have a laptop with wifi and a DSL internet conection
and i ask
is that possible to access the net (DSL) using my universal
(without using GPRS ) ,via wifi or bluetooth
i mean using my laptop as wireless modem , NOT my universal as modem ,
and thanksssssss
pleaseeeee help
If you're using your laptop on WiFi to access your DSL connection, is there any reason why you don't just use WiFi on your universal?
thanlks for your reply , but my DSL connected via ethernet cable to my laptop ,and my laptop has a wireless lan on it , so can i make my laptop as a wireless modem ?
If you connect the Universal to your laptop it will use the internet connection over the Activesync connection.
:edit: Just reread, but yes you can also set your laptop WiFi connection to Ad Hoc mode to allow WiFi connections to it and use a shared internet connection that way. You better find a HOWTO or something for that though since it is not so straightforward.

Sure you can - via either a direct, active BT / USB ActiveSync connection OR a Wi-Fi p2p connection or, if you install the Widcomm BT stack, even BT PAN p2p.
Please read my related articles - I've published many articles on all these technologies.
thank u alll
i'll try it and give you my feed back
