Wireless Connections - from MDA3 to belkin wireless router

[meatychi]

HEEEEEELLLLPPP!

I have managed to connect to my wireless router at home via my MDA3 but whenever I open IE and try and surf it responds by telling me that the page isnt available. ie. it cannot surf the net!

As soon as I put the MDA3 into the cradle it works fine. I know these are two different ways of connecting to a network but how do you surf the net via WiFi to your home wireless network?

Hello meatychi,

Try connecting the MDA3 as the only device on the router. You may have to switch off other devices first and reboot the router.

I have this problem too, and i can NOT use my pda2k and the Fujitsu laptop at the same time on the wireless router. It will work if the laptop is hooked up via cable and the pda2k is on wireless, but never together.
I returned the router to the shop and we tested it there. It all worked as it should with their wireless equipment, which leads me to believe that the wireless components in my Fujitsu laptop interfere somehow.

Let me know how you go.

Regards,

Atze.

Interesting!

The only other device I have on wireless is my mac and that wasnt on when trying to get the MDA to work.

Did you use a static IP or DHCP?

Could you give a little more detail into the way you setup your PDA to communicate with your wireless router?

Initially I used DHCP, when that didn't work I switched to static IPs
which didn't help either. I even throttled the router back to 802.11b, as I thought that the two different protocols may be in a tangle, but... you guessed it. No luck.

After all this I reverted back to DHCP and switched the router back to 802.11b+802.11g. The laptop is back on a cable :(
Everytime I try something with both devices hooked wireless I have to restart the router, as it will no longer work with either device.

I have set up the pda2k as follows:
Connect to Work network,
Using WPA-PSK authentication
TKIP Data Encryption
It is set to access All Available networks,
Automatically connect to non-preferred networks
Use server-assigned IP address
Leave DNSs and WINSs blank
Performance is usually set to Best Battery, but I vary that when I go downstairs. (doesn't appear to improve the range thoug I think it's pretty poor.)
Auto turn of WLAN if not connected is ticked to kick in after 2 minutes.

Regards,

Atze.
