I've noticed that my PDA2K has a "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet adapter under Network Cards. My K-Jam does not...and because of that, I can't specify a network IP to use at work. Does anyone have a wireless adapter other than the SDIO adapter (which is only used with an SD card)???? If so, how did you get it?

I probably need some enlightenment here, but why do you need one, connect to my wireless lan without any additional wireless adapters. Also picked up wireless hotspots around town, though not tried to connect.

My work is static only...no DHCP. So, I need to set an IP address for my K-Jam in order to get on the network. Same with my laptop. The PDA2K allows for this while the K-Jam does not because of the lack of a Network Card adapter in the Connection Settings.

I don't get you. The SDIO is the internal Wlan adapter. The first setting you can make is use an IP-adress obtained by DHCP or a static one....

N!co is correct. If you select that SDIO adapter (which is the driver for the internal SDIO wireless hardware) you get the option to enter a static IP etc.

I thought the SDIO was for the SD Wifi Card Adapters that you stick in the SD slot. But, heck, I'll give it a shot. Be back later.

I FEEL STUPID.

That's what I get for listening to a guy that doesn't have one of these...My friend told me the SDIO adapter was for SD wifi cards. WRONG.

Thanks guys!!! That took care of it! I'm now back on the network!! I've only been fighting this issue for 4 days now.

Now, let me ask this, my home wifi is dhcp. Is there a way to switch IP addresses so I can go to both easily? Work static, home dynamic, with the touch of a button???

Thanks,
Tom
