hi everybody,
today it is the first day that I got to play with my new Axim 30H. Everything was going quite smooth, I got really impressed and amazed by its possibilities, installed some software and played... until I wanted to go online with the WiFi.
I have a broadband conn to my PC (ADSL) and could not spend too much, therefore I just bought a WiFi PCI card to use it in the ad-hoc mode. I got DLink DWL-510, installed it... and that was the end of my joy
Those things just do not want to cooperate or I am so hopeless... :rolling:
I can briefly report you my situation:
At the PC side: I turned on the conn sharing on my regular net card and set a "ad-hoc" network on my WiFi card. I tried to use the dynamic IP and also set the IP to 192.168.0.1 and so on. The problem is that because of the ADSL broadband I am getting the dynamic "outside" IP everytime and the DNS through DHCP - so even when I set the IP on the WiFi card to 192.168... I still could not figure out what to do with its DNS...
At the Axim side: the dell wlan utility detects "peer to peer" network, but keep scanning on... I set the network as my default (as to use for Internet as well), the Odysey client can not detect the network at all. I tried to use different settings here as well (dynamic IP, set the IP to 192.168.0.2, etc)
And now what is happening: both the PC and PPC connect from time to time - I mean they say connected and show signal strength, than they go off again and on and off (the cycle is about 20 sec. up to 1 min.) I can not ping the PC or browse the web or shared folders...
Well, I decided to give up now and go to bed... maybe you, guys would have some better ideas what to do ?
Sorry if the post seems too confusing, but I have been fighting with it and reading the FAQs for last 6 hours...
Best of All and Good Night
