Hi all I am a new member and have spent many an hour looking through these forums to help solve the ‘dark art’ of WIFI connections!
So far I have had some success using this forum. I am able to browse the internet using active-sync.
However when I try to go wireless I have no luck. All my settings are correct (MAC address, ip address, WEP code, SSID name etc) and I have got to the point where it says I am ‘connected’ to my wireless network but I am still unable to browse the internet.
I am running ‘network magic’ to organise my network but even this does not find the xda when ‘connected’.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you connect to the network did you select 'The internet' or 'Work' under 'This network connects to'?

This setting must match the one under Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Network Selection->Programs that connect to the internet

'The internet' = 'My ISP'
'Work' = 'My work network'

I have done that and I think I browse the net via my laptop when I sync the Mini S via Bluetooth. I think I do because I don't see a mini G icon on the active synch logo. Am I right? Now I have to purchase a router to chek my WiFi. :lol:

Yes, if your device is synced to a PC that connection takes priority over WiFi and GPRS.
