help disabled user reach full potential

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.

Cracking WEP or WPA On Your Pocket PC

I've actually been looking for such a solution on Windows Mobile based devices for quite a while, but unfortunately have not been successful.
Does anyone know of some solutions for this?
What i plan on doing:
-Being able to log packets (By saving them)
-Decrypting these packets (On the PDA or For a PC To decrypt)
Please and thank you.

i looked for quite a while on doing this. There was one program that would do it, but it didn't like the wireless nic.

I'm not into the programming or fabricating of things for PPC's but someone should look into BackTrack 2.0 (linux distro).
It's got a bunch of built-in packet sniffing and decrypting software. Takes a while (because you need to capture SOOOO many packets) but it works wonders. I had all my neighbors WEP keys within a weekend.

erm.. if it took you a weekend to break wep.. you weren't doing it right. With the tools on backtrack and a windows machine I can crack wep in 10-15 minutes.
In any event, I haven't found a tool for the PPC that can do either step of the cracking process (other than just flipping the switch on and off a lot to keep the router pulsing those oh so easy to crack auth packets). Sorry man. Also, chances are, to do either step would very quickly run the battery on these devices into the dirt.

Yeah it only took about 20-30 minutes for each network but I DO have a life... And there were 5 or 6 of them.

Pocket Wifi Retina doesn't seem to work with our wireless chipset. When trying to run it I get: "Can not load device driver. If the wireless configuration utility is running, please shut it down."

Someone knows another app like retinawireless with dicctionary file for bruteforcing that runs on the athena?

I found a nice thread on this that might come in handy:
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/wireless/networks/archives/wifi-tools-for-your-pda-15387
so far the best bet seems to be useing http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=1&productId=66742#description7
(torrent it) to get the hashes.
I'm buliding a little something with my port.HD to interface it with my pda via bluetooth anyways, and now running tables on it seems fun...

any new apps since 2008?

just for italian developpers

Linux LiveCD / WinMo 6.1 Internet Sharing

OK people, this might sound daft BUT I want to run LinuxLiveCD on my laptop while at work where the only internet is through my 3G on a Touch Diaomnd.
Now I know this work very well in vista, but is it even possible in linux (live or otherwise) if not can you think of any other solution?
The main reason I want to do this is to stop Windows et all, auto updating while I am on 3G (£££££££ ). The plan would be use Linux for booting into to do e-mail maybe a little light irc and some web browsing, then back to vista for music and movies and everything.
Well i hope I have explained this well enough
thanks all

I would suggest WMwifirouter. It circumvents needing to directly attach your phone to the computer by broadcasting a wifi network.
I've been using it for a few months with my eeePC and mogul. It's a lifesaver to have internet anywhere via a wifi network you carry in your pocket

Hmmm I think you missed the point, I want to connect WinMob to LinuxLive using the internet sharing, mind you thinking about it as I type you might be on to somthing
/me will investigate but would rather not have to buy software

Reverse Tethering

I want to set up my Windows 7 system as an access point (ad hoc, I suppose) so that I can connect my tablet via wifi and use the Window system's network access.
I used the ad hoc network wizard, but the tablet could not see it, and could not be force it to hook up.
Has anyone been successful at this?

i dun know but i hope u will have the way to do this

I was just working on this the other night, so I'll answer your question and pose a second.
Go grab the 'Connectify' program. That'll make the setup a snap.
Here's the problem, though.... Hoping some of the keen XDA minds might be able to help. The 'SoftAP' that windows 7 has built in will ONLY set itself up with WPA2 security. This makes it teasingly close to allowing Nintendo DS and PSP connections since it's setting itself up as an Infrastructure Access point, but only with security too strong for those platforms.
Does anyone here have an Idea of how to force/hack Win7 to use a lower form of security like WPA or WEP?

Would love to get an answer to above users question

Once i was blind, now i can see !
Thank you for this, i had problems with 3g at my work, now i have wifi!

After some additional research, I found out that this WPA2 'lock' is actually a part of the Win7 certification for a given WiFi device.
This would seem to indicate that it would be either part of the driver or hard-coded into the device itself.
A driver seems like it could be something that'd be edited to be more pliable with regards to Wifi protection, but if it's hard-coded, we're likely screwed.

Any info pertaining to using Windows XP Pro with any of this. I run on Revol Wireless with my Hero200,I flashed the phone to their network so I dont have full network access. Anyways...I'm trying to reverse tether at home to use the net on my phone where my network is connected through my desktop pc. I'm running a Dell Dimension 4600 with XP Pro strictly as my DEV computer. This comp only gets Android crap on it all the time. A few windows things here and there but I need the windows programs for the android stuff so...Any help is VERY greatly appreciated guys!

dude...you will have stability problems and protocols relevent issues on using connectify
some times u'll get blue screen errors too.
So,after googling a lot i hav found "mhotspot" we dont even need to install the software,but it creates a virtual access point and enables wifiinternet sharing
working great..
try it here....www. mhotspot .com

[Q] Windows 8 32b and VPN issue :(

HI,
First I got Windows 8 Pro x64 on my desktop.
As in many other cases when I connected to VPN server my local connection showed "limited" status (connection to router is via lan cable)
This meant that some of the Modern UI apps did not work (reported no active connections) but some did.
Luckily most of the ones I wanted to use (Netflix) had no problem.
Other ones (Hulu) i could "cheat" by using browser instead of app.
Good thing that browsers in Desktop Mode worked just fine - no issues whatsoever.
Yesterday I bought Asus TF810c (tablet/hybrid) with Windows 8 32bit on board.
VPN connection has been setup the same way as on desktop (or Windows 7 previously).
Problem is that ALL apps in both modes do not work
All apps in Modern UI as well as (and this is much worse!!!) browsers in desktop mode.
I really do not know what to do . This also means that I have lost a lot of usability for this device and system - it was supposed to replace my old iPad.
No it can not any ideas what I can do about it?
I was hoping by now MS will fix this problem as it is reported by (all???) a lot of people that use VPN in Windows 8.
Please, have some good news! I need at least browsers to work...
Anyone has any contact with MS engineers and can ask them about it?
