I have a major frustrastion going in trying to go wireless on home network:
Heres the set up.
Have a 5 PC home network running via phonline. All PC's use WINXP Pro. Cable modem with all PC's able to surf the net. Using MS XP firewall. All PC's have full network functionality.
I have a D-link DWL-120 access point connected to the main PC that is serving as my server. I established a Wireless network. I have the Ambicom wireless card in my Axim. Card appears to function. I can Ping the wireless network and from the Main computer I can Ping the Ambicom card. Light on Ambicom card blinks. Lights on the D-link show steady. D-link access point controling software shows an excellent connection.
I cannot get to the network from the Axim. I have tried static IP address and have the setting on the AMBICOM to WORK group, Work group, Work.
Name of wireless network is Workgroup. Name of wired network is also Workgroup.
I have exhausted the MS XP tutorial, Ambicoms FAG are almost all the same thing. I feel that its got to be a permissions issue but for all my tweeking I cannot seem to get it to work. Any pertinent suggestions or advise will be welcome.

Thanks for any and all help.
