wireless internet

oaseeker · 09-03-03, 11:56 PM

I'm using a DLink DWL- 120 wireless adapter and a Dell TrueMobile 1180 WLAN CF card. My operating system is XP Home with a Westell router configured for a connection that is always on. When I first received my Ax, I was able to surf the web on my works' VPN but I never have been able to connect from home. I am able to see my network, but I can't transfer any files nor can I use my shared internet connection. I currently have two pc's and a laptop on a hub sharing it all the time. My wireless adapter is connected to my main pc which is one of them. What is my problem? Please help.

You'll need to be a bit more descriptive.

First check that your Axim and your home PC can associate. Sounds like at home you have the wifi card in the Axim and the wifi card in a PC and you want to share the Internet from the PC?

This would be done using Adhoc mode.

Check that the PC and the Axim are both associating with the same virtual MAC address. Also go to the Wireless forum and read the FAQs in the second thread. Be sure that you're familiar with Adhoc, SSID, Channel and WEP.
