I have a Jornada 568 with the PC card adapter. I just got a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PC Card. I double checked the list on cewindows.net and it seems to indicate this card should work.

I have connected the card to the network, and the Link light is on and the Act light flashes, but I can't seem to do anything. I have downloaded the vx utilities. Using vxIPConfig, it says

IP Address 169.254.200.144
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway is blank
DHCP Server 255.255.255.255

The lease obtained and lease expires fields have the exact same info.

Looking at VxUtils, it says that the ppp1 info contains:
IP Address 192.168.55.101
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.55.100
Primary DNS 127.0.0.1
DHCP Server blank

for NE2001-NE2000 compatible
IP Address 169.254.200.144
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway 0.0.0.0
Primary DNS blank
DHCP Server 255.255.255.255

I am trying to connect to the corporate network, a WAN. I've read some of the help files at cewindows, but can't make sense of them in my situation. I'm really new at networking and think the above probably doesn't mean that it's good, but I really have no idea where to start. Any ideas? Thanks!
