Mobility Site - View Single Post - So I'm trying to connect my PPC and PC with wi-fi...

Does the PC have a G WiFi card? If so, make sure it is set to allow a B connection.

Set both devices to ad-hoc mode and enter a name (SSID) for the network on one of them.

Some people have said they need to have WiFi activated on the Axim before turning it on on the PC (in other works, the PC has an easier time finding the Axim than the other way 'round).

If you actually want to use the PC's web connection, you should enable ICS on the side actually connected to the Internet. If not, you may want to enter static IPs. The 192.168.0.xxx set is typical. Make the last number on each device different. The subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the Gateway is typically set to the PC's IP.
