I have the new netgear wireless routher number MR814
I have the internet hooked up to my desktop computer thu your this wireless router, and thats great, btu I already had the internet hooked up thu a cable modem, the reason I bought it was so that I could hook up my Pocket PC 2002 PDA to the internet via the wireless router and my Linksys Wireless Compact Flash card.
I have the internet when I go to work in my office but this wireless router at home is not working at all. I have the ssid's adn stuff set right, the only thing I'm not sure abotu is the WEP, and there is NO INDICATION ANYTWHERE about how to get this number, how to change it, etc. It says the defaulr is disabled so thats how I have it set up.
I also have a strong signal on my PDA but when I try to get online with the pocket pc it says "Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP addres. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings."
Then in Pocke t Internet Explorer it says:
"DNS host is not found"
I knew that this was probably going ot be more trouble then it was worth but I decided to ry it out anyway.
I have already tried unpluggin the router adn cable modem, restarting the pocket pc, adn still nothing.
what good is a wireless router if you have to be conneced via a cable to it for it to work??
Please help me out with this problem, my internet service provider is comcast cable.
