| Civilians |  wireless connection through Router Hello, I have an ipaq 3630 running PPC 2002, I have a DCF-660w wireless card connected. I am running a small home wireless network consisting of My Pc linked by ethernet cable to wireless router, my sons Pc is connected to the wireless network via a USB network adapter, My Laptop via centrino all of these are working fine except the ipaq. I downloaded and installed the dcf-660w utility onto the ipaq and reset the ipaq to accept the new software. I went through the setup procedure and the ipaq is showing full strength signal on my wireless network, the problem is that I cannot use the internet explorer to access the internet and my device has not been picked up in workgroup computers. Please tell me what I am doing wrong |

| Civilians | Re: CORRECTION: wireless connection through Router Thanks Al, I have just been onto the d-link people who tell me that the version of the drivers that I downloaded off thier site was the wrong version so after an hour on the phone talking to this lady she sends me to an ftp site to get the latest utility. It scans and attaches itself to the network but I cannot ping anything, it wont let me connect to the web. I really dont understand the connection manager at all.
