Hi,

I will be going away on business shortly for over a week and am awaiting my sync cable from Dell but I don't think it'll get here before i go away. I do not want to log my cradle around to sync with my laptop so the question that I have is as follows:

If my laptop has a wirless card and my axim has a wireless cf card, is there a way to sync directly between my axim and the laptop via wireless without a wireless router in the middle?

In case some of you are wondering, the infrared sync does not seem to work for me my axim doesn't seem to pick up the infrared from the laptop and vice versa...........so i want to try the wireless card to wireless card route. Is this possible? and if so, how do i go about doing this? thanks for all your great help guys........and gals :)

Hey Eric, While I don't have my Axim yet (fscking thumbboard), you should be able to set up an ad-hoc wifi network, enable ethernet<?>/internet<?> connections/syncing in Active Sync and you'll be all set.

Oddly enough, search this forum for the word "backup" or "wireless backup" and i think you'll find meatier instructions.

Yea you can set up a ad hoc, wireless network. You will have to go in the config's and change it that way. the CF card Manufacturer supplies the documents to do this type of setup. If you do need help with the setup of a ad-hoc wireless network, you can always post back, PS. This belongs in the PDA newbies section.
