Works Wireless Lan
I am trying to connect my t-Moblie Pocket PC Phone to my companies wireless LAN. I am having no luck. I have all the information about the LAN, but I don't know where to start on the Phone. Does someone know of a resource that can walk me through the process. Thanks

Unless you have a WiFi card, you can't connect to the wireless LAN. Even worse, I don't think you'll ever be able to connect to a wireless LAN.
According to the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition Web page, this device only has an SD memory slot. If it's not SDIO, that means you can't use any of the SDIO WiFi cards that will be coming out.
Unless there's a sleeve or backpack for your device that allows expansion, or unless there's some WiFi connection to the serial connector on the device, you're out of luck.

Your question should be: How do I use my T-Mobile to connect to a private network using VPN???

Did you read http://www.t-mobile.com/help/product.../Pocket_PC.pdf
(Chapter 5 (page 63), bullet point 4 and later)? That seems to tell you what you need and gives instructions on getting connected.
You'll likely have to go to your company's IT group and ask for a dial-in number and authorization to use VPN, too.

Um... wrong, I do this everday to view CT scans and MRI's on patients. I had trouble at first as well getting setup into our LAN, but I finally received some excellent information from this forum and excellent help from our IT department. That's why it's nice to have the VPN instead of having a card or also Bluetooth. So no; we're very much in "luck."

Don't fret! I had problems at first as well. I started a thread on this and received some excellent help. Perhaps it will help for you as well? Read this thread and good luck:

Actually, I don't believe I was wrong. If you read the original post (quoted for your convenience :-)), you'll see dgw specifically asked to get on his company's wireless LAN.
As Steve C. pointed out, it's now apparent that dgw really wanted to know if he could dial in to his company's LAN wirelessly, but that's not what was originally asked.
Just because somebody asked the wrong question doesn't mean my answer was wrong. :-)
