Axim X51v directly to Ethernet possible?
Hi, new to thread. I have a Dell Axim X51V, 624mhz, on W5.0. I often stay in hotels where there is no wireless, but free internet acess via ethernet in the rooms.
I have a Axim to USB sync cable and recently bought a multi pack of USB to Ethernet RJ45 adapters.
I thought I would be able to simply connect to the internet via a Ethernet modem by simply plugging my Sync cable into the axim, and the other end into one of the RJ45 adapters, then directly into the broadband ethernet modem, as I would like to when I'm away, but cannot connect.
Is there any way of doing this as I am not sure of the settings to input, i.e. in Settings-Connections-Network Cards, its defaulted to 'NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver', with an option below of 'Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Miniport', have tried each in turn but still cant connect.
Is it possible to connect to the Internet this way, i.e. directly from sync cable to ethernet, or am I hoping too much.
It would be handy as it would save me having to bring my laptop with me when I'm away, and I have gone to the trouble of buying (albeit at not too much cost) the pack of RJ45 ethernet adapters.
Oh, by the way, I have tried several of the adapters as some look like they are crossover types.
Thanks,
Jon
