Vario II - Can connect to internet or local share but not both at the same time?

[HooloovooUK]

I've got my Vario II conected up to my local wireless network.

If I have the wireless network interface set to "The Internet" then I can connect to the internet, but I can't connect to any of my local shares.

If I have the wireless network interface set to "Work" then I can access my local shares through the file explorer (\\myPC\myshare) but I can't use the internet.

Is there any way around this problem? This whole thing with different network types seems to be rubbish - or at least very confusing. What's wrong with just having a normal network connection?

Anyone? :confused:

Have you tried to configure only 1 network in the ppc connection manager?
so that internet and work network are the same.

How do I do that?

Both "the internet" and "work" came pre-configured and I don't think I can delete either one of them?

In the connections manager I have two entried on the "tasks" tab - one says "T-Mobile Internet" and the other says "My Work Network".

If I "manage existing connections" on the internet tab I can see just one t-mobile internet account setup. As far as I can see, there is nothing setup under "my work network".

You must go to the Advanced tab in the connection manager.
Then goto "Select network" and select for private network access
the same internet network from above.

Ah ha! That did the trick.

I had looked at that before but I didn't understand exactly what it meant, and the manual is next to useless......

Thanks!
