Well this is proving to be much more of a problem then its worth.
I have a Linksys wireless CF card, I took it to my tech guys here at my University and they set it up best they could its getting a strong signal, everything seems to be connected, etc, but it dosent get ANY internet at all.
I can't figure it out adn I wanna see if you guys can help eme out, I looked at the connection settings and stuff but it dosent say what should eb hook up how, etc. Its a pain in the ass adn not very user friendly at all, what the hwll was microsoft doing, this crap is too complicated.
Fellas, as far as I can see its got a strong connection, they put in the proper codes, etc. I don't know anything else about their wireless network, please see if you can help me out.
I am willing to get another CF flash WiFi card too, if you think it'll help, but if this one seems to work with no internet I cant see why another one would either without the same problems.

With many Universities and large businesses you have to VPN through the Access Point. This disables people from being able to drive up in a car with a laptop and wireless card and hack into the network. Pocket PC 2002 supports VPN connections natively. You can ask your network administrator for a VPN login and password if that is the case. It's similar to creating a dial-up connection, once you are attached to the AP, you just click it and it dials through the AP and authenticates you to the network. Even if you are connecting to the AP and even if you are getting an IP address doesn't mean that you can surf the net or have access to network resources.
Another thing is that you might want to check is WEP. Some networks are setup with WEP encryption, if so, you should enable it using the tools that were installed "Wireless CF Card Monitor", under this you should see an "Encryption" tab. Talk to whoever set up the wireless network for the correct info.
Hope this helps.
