I finally got my wireless network up and running, and can get back to business! I really had to figure out what piece of the puzzle that was not working. In the last couple of steps I got a hold of another WiFi Access Point, a <a href="http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/di713p/">D-Link DI-713P</a> with which I could verify that my HP Jornada 565 and <a href="http://www.socketcom.com/product/wlancard.htm">Socket Wireless LAN CF Card</a> were both working. Many thanks to Dag Petersson, <a href="http://www.frontit.se/">FrontIT</a>, for letting me borrow the DI-713P! Then I digged up my old <a href="http://www.compaq.com/products/wireless/wlan/wl400-specifications.html">Compaq WL400 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Hardware Access Point</a> and installed it at home beside my <a href="http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/di804/">D-Link DI-804 Broadband Gateway / Firewall Router</a>. On his way to Microsoft, Redmond, Chris Forsberg helped me out on the SNMP settings of Compaq AP. I go wireless and to the dust bin goes the <a href="http://www.symbol.com/products/wireless/ap4121.html">Symbol AP 4121 Access Point</a>. Thanks to all who have helped me out! Bottom line: regardless of what you are trying to make work, start out with things that ain't broken!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/wifi_02.jpg" />

A little off topic, but, I'd like to tip my hat to Mr. Doub. He runs a very imformative forum for those of us that use Socket products. Have problems or solutions to help others that use Socket products? The forum that Mr. Doub put together is top notch.
Note: You must register to use this forum and its specifically aimed at Socket product users, but, theres a tremendous amount of information there that MAY help other users with their connectivity problems....
