dopod838 - problem with Internet Surfing via Wi-Fi

[bennyn]

:?
I have just purchased a dopod 838. While I enjoy it very much, I do have one problem I don't seem to be able to solve. The problem is as follows: my device finds and connects to my Wi-Fi net, it indicates that the signal is good (and the net is an open one, no need for any password), but even though I am connected, I can not browse the Internet or send or receive e-mails. I tried to find answers in the user guide, but all I find there are generalities. I guess it has something to do with the settings on my device, but it is really frustrating, as the main reason I switched to the 838 modal is the Wi-Fi. I think the problem may be connected to the Network Adapters. When I check the Network Adapters I see the following list:
PPTP NDISWAN Minipot
L2TP NDISWAN Minipot
AsycMac NDISWAN Minipot
Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Minipot
Remote-NDIS Host
NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver
SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor
The only one that is indicating the IP Address is the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor, but is it the one to use out of the list? And if so, I do I do that? How do I set it to be the default adaptor?
Please help...
Thanks
Benny

I only do the setup one time for my friend. Hope that can help.
If the network hadn't any protect, you can just choice this on the screen when this had been found. It don't need any setup for a unprotected network.
If the network is protected, "password / soid / encrypt". You need to setup a network card, setting > connection > network card , with all the details before you can use the network.

I have many adapters, it seems to me that the only one that is the correct one is the SDIO, but I can not make it the default one.

If you've created a wireless network between you PC and your device, you need to 'share' your internet access on your PC. Also if you have a Firewall you need to enble that too, for mine it was the generic sub-program 'svchost'. Hope this helps.

no need to set the SDIO Wireless Lan Adaptor to default. That list is just a list and has nothing to do with privilege.

i think the problem is that your Wirelan has some restrictions to access,eg. MAC address. So,ask your network administrator for help ;-)

I have an iMate Jasjar.

WiFi works fine for AvantGo updates and Weather panel updates but Pocket IE and Terminal Server Client refuse to use existing WiFi link! :x

PIE always uses GPRS and if I flight-mode my radio, it simply fails to connect complaining about no GPRS connection! :evil:

Solution:
I installed Opera Browser Beta for PPC. It works over WiFi no problems.

My trial period is nearly up so they'll get some of my money. :wink:
