I don't have my Ambicom here at this location so I have to give general help. If needed, I could go on the SMC site and look at the manuals to tell you how to set something if needed on the router.

Anyway, you need to know how your laptop gets its IP address. It could be automatically via DHCP. If it is, then things are easier. Also we need to know if you are running WEP for security on the SMC. If you are not, this gets even easier.

Assuming no WEP encryption and DHCP for IP address, make sure the card is inserted into the Axim and go into the Ambicom settings on the Axim. look for SSID or anywhere it shows access points (AP) that are nearby. If your is shown in the list, click on it and hit connect if it has that option. If not, look for SSID and enter the SSID of your SMC. If the SMC is set up for DHCP (and enough IP addresses are available) and you are not using WEP, this should get you going.

Please let me know.
