XDAIIi and Wifi

[Anonymous]

I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point, and have configured the IP address manually (I know IP, dns and gateway are right)

I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.

Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)

Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)

So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.

thanks for any help

Can you ping the XDA from any other station on the network ?
Is your network 802.11b or 802.11g or both ?

No, I can't ping the xda from anywhere else. The access point is both. I have two other stations - one on g and one on b.

thanks

Must be something in the config on the XDA.
If you look at the settings for the WiFi network card on the XDA what does it say it connects to..."Work" or "The Internet".

Try changing that and see if that helps.
