[sicksound]

Hey,

Anyone know of a way i can connect my pocket pc to a wired (not wireless) network? is there some sort of ethernet adapter out there for the pocket pc? what are my options?

thanks!

:google:

I use wireless myself, but it looks like there are several options out there for compact flash cards that are ethernet adapters (wired). Anyone out there have any experience with any of them?

I used a Pretec CompactLan (http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/Mobile_peripherals/CompactLAN.htm) card (with my 548). Haven't used it lately, but it worked flawlessly for me. I noticed now that is listed on their website as "Phased Out"...

If you want me to, I can dig it out and try it with my 2215...

You CAN connect to the internet when the PPC is connected to Activesync through the USB cable. This will NOT allow you to access your network.

aaaah, there's a catch! there's no way at all you can get on the network? if i set some permissions and maybe had a server computer networking the internet, can i share the files that way? by connecting to some sort of usb hub or something?

thanks once again!
