I know it's got to be here some where but I can't seem to find it.

I have been successful in establishing a wireless link with my WAP.

I can not seem to figure out how to configure my Ax to use the wireless CF card to access the internet or download my e-mail.

I am using all Linksys hardware connected to a cable modem, so dialup is not an issue. I have two wired computers on the network that work well.

Can someone point me in the right direction in setting up the connection on the Ax to communicate through the wireless CF card?

Well whats your setup?.. are you using a router?

I dont use a router so if you are this probably
wont help...

My setup is as follows

Cable internet connected
to my main pc,

In my main pc i have 2 ethernet
cards one for my wirenetwork and
one for my cable modem, I also
have a USB Wireless card on my
main pc, which is how my axim
connects to it,

I have windows XP on all pcs,
except the axim...

My axim and PC communicate wirelessly
through peer to peer (adhoc) mode..
rather then using a router...

My PC has its internet connection shared,
my axim can acces the internet, and files
on the main pc and sync (took me forever
to figure out how to sync em with out connecting
as guest every time..)

Anyway,.. thats just my setup, and it does
work, so if that helps at all then great,
if not well... i just wasted a minute of your time :-)

Under Settings, Connections, Connections, try making your settings Work Setting, Work Settings, Work - then do a soft reset.

My setup is as follows:

Cable into 3com cable modem
to
Linksys 4 port wired router

I have two desktop computers wired to the router with access to each other and the internet.

Also have a Linksys WAP wired to the router

Have a Linksys WCF12 Compact flash card in the Axim setup in Infrastructure Mode.

Linksys software on the axim shows excellent link quality and signal strength with the WAP.

Just cannot surf the web or get e-mail.

When attempting to access a web page the error "the page you are looking for cannot be found".

I have tried your suggestions with the same results. the same error message appears when trying to access a web page.

Can you connect using an IP number? Try google at http://216.239.39.99/

Since there are so many of these threads, I figured I just tack on the end of this one with my question:

I'm running an ad-hoc wifi network with a laptop. I can get on the internet... but I can't download my email. The "Connect" button in "Inbox" is grayed out. I can't seem to find any help for this. Please help!

Did you actually set up your email service on the Axim or are you working through the ActiveSync choice? If you've set up the service, is all the info correct? (You can create the account in the Inbox using Tools, Options, New. If you need to check the settings, also go to Tools, Options and double tap on the service name from the list).

Thanks for the reply. I tried the google IP number you suggested with the following results:

"The page you are looking for cannot be found."

If I'm connected with the USB cable to my desktop computer, I can get to the google site, or any other site through the Ax. When I disconnect the cable I'm dead.

I assume you are using DHCP. Are you sure your Axim is getting an IP number? There's a free utility, vxUtils that may help you diagnose these settings.

That was my problem. I didn't realize you had to setup a service like that. Thanks.

KGillette, howd did you get yours to work? I am now suffering the same problems as you did! It works when connected to USB, not when its not.

I am new to the Ax and I am going to get a Linksys Wireless Router/4-Port Switch and a Linksys WCF12 card for the Ax. Seems like many folks are running this combination together but they also seem to have problems initially. I really would rather follow some instructions from one of you kind folks rather than suffer through a long series of trial and error steps.

Please help...

THANKS!!!
