I am having AmbiCom Wireless CF Card Problems. Does anyone have this card, the Axim X5 and or Windows Mobil 2003?

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile. I finally got it to connect so I am on a network, but the Internet will not recognize it as the internet. It is connected, but it doesn't make everything work together. Any ideas?

Yes, the CF is B, but the AP is G.

I'd ask this question again on www.aximsite.com
I used to get this problem on my X50v. I don't have my Axim in front of me, so I don't remember the exact process. Tap the connection icon at the top, and click settings. Change "This connects me" from Work, to the Internet.

It tried that and I posted it on aximsite.com about noon with no answer so I turned to the all knowing Arfcom.

I'm trying to remember if my X5 is 2002 or 2003. It's at my office, and I'm at home.

To get it online, I had to do some funky things with the connection settings. I'll check next time I have it at home.

How familiar are you with 802.11?

Are you connecting to your network or "somebody else's"

Do you have WEP encryption on? is your passkey correct?

While I can see plenty of unsecured idiots that live around me, I am connecting to my own network and I have the correct passkey because I use it on other wireless devices.

I can connect to the networks around me, and Windows 2003 even says that it is connected, but the internet doesn't work and it says to set up a proxy.

Is your wireless router set up to auto-assign IP addresses?
