from your phone, put IP Address, DND Server, Subnet Mask to make it work with the wireless. I tried and it works :)

i didnt say there is problem with the router. its with the security maybe your pda doesnt authenticate with security encryption better disable it first to verify.

or better yet try changing your security mode to "WEP" encryption "10/64-bits".

you can hard reset your wireless router by pressing the small button at the back with a paper clip, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO RE-CONFIGURE THE ROUTER - anyway its just username and password for the ADSL setting you just have to obtain that information before doing the hard reset.

1. login to your router usually if you didnt change its ip it should be http://192.168.1.1

enter username: admin(default)

password:admin(default)** for linksys router

2. go to wireless menu then under it wireless security then in the "security mode" click "disable" then save settings.

did you check the authetication??? does your wireless router has security enable? can you try to disable the security settings of your router first.

1. Are you using vista?

2. Can you go to the command line window and type "ipconfig /all" and then paste the result here? Let's see what you are getting if any.

router if you can even access it through IP, but if you can then it's always easy to change the network key ... join our group:

http://www.qatarliving.com/group/ql-it-corner

and wait for the complete configuration of the linksys router there ... I'm working on it now and soon to post it.

that is the thing ... It's either you will enable DHCP or assign the following IP to your PDA assuming the the subnet on your linksys is the default:

Hope that would help ...

what kind of router are you using btw? Can you check the IP range that your Router DHCP server [if it's working] is assigning to the clients? If you know the range, just try assigning your wireless connection on the PDA a static IP Address. The DHCP on the router might be disabled ...

TCP/IP Configuration in Vista

This is the most important part of network card configuration in Vista. You must

configure the network card, so that this computer can communicate with other

computers or network devices. You will need to have TCP/IP protocol and other

Windows network items installed in order to make it work correctly.

1) Go to Start and right click on Network and then click Properties.

2) Network and Sharing Center window will appear, then click Manage network

connections.

3) Network Connections window will appear. Here you can right click on the network

card that you wish to configure and click Properties.

4) In the Local Area Connection Properties window, tick on Internet Protocol

Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.

Manual IP Assigning

You can now key in the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS

servers.

Note: IP address of your computer must be unique. None of the 2 computers in the

network can share same IP address, it causes IP address conflict.

Aisha-Taweela, I think you need an IT person to solve your problem as my laptop is working flawlessly..

try to get closer to the access point (WiFi access point) as PDAs are not that adept as laptops in collecting signals.. if this doesn't work, there could be a problem in your settings or your PDAs wifi capability is busted...

have a nice day..

I had used manual setting to connect my Nokia phone to my Wifi. 1st identify your settings from laptop: if you use vista its there in network n sharing center-view status (of the particular connection)-details: from there you will get the IpV4 settings like IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers etc. what i did was substitute the last digit 1 in IP address field alone to 5 n use all other the same details to setup access point in the device.It worked for me.!
