Hi, I have my ipaq 3955 (Pocket PC 2002, D-link CF WiFi card), and my windows XP machine in an ad-hoc network.

I have been able to get internet sharing, file sharing, and VNC working on the ipaq. But my probelm comes when I try to use activesync, it keeps logging me in as a guest (although I did get it to work perfectly once yesturday...). But even as a guest it does not allow me to install programs, or explore the files on the ipaq.

I did not have any problems syncing my PDA with my laptop when I used a wireless acces point.

I also practiced setting up an ad-hoc network at home (just got back to the dorms monday) without an internet connection, and I did not have any problems syncing.

Would really like to get this working, it was neat when it did work...

Since you have a connection, it is probably just "one of these things". My USB connection sometimes gets confused the same way but it fixes itself.
