Hitchhiker 0.4 Beta 1 Released
"Hitchhiker helps you to connect your Pocket PC to the wireless Internet. Simply click "Connect" and it will try all nearby public access points. Hitchhiker will handle all settings for you and perform complicated tests to ensure you can connect to the Internet in no time."
Hitchhiker, which we've posted on before, has now taken its first steps to supporting Windows Mobile 5.0, and multiple resolutions and display orientations. v0.4 also includes a new notification balloon, improved performance, and support for automatic reconnections. Compulim, the developer, is looking for feedback, so if you have any bugs to report or feature requests, feel free to post a reply in this thread.
Hitchhiker v0.4 requires the .NET Compact Framework 2.0, which can be downloaded from here.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to connect to secured network, only public access points. At least not those that aren't broadcasing an SSID. I can't get it to see my home network unless I lower security measures and open the network. :?

Same here
I couldn't get it work with my secured site either. It stayed on my PPC less than 10 minutes before I removed it. Any other good WiFi sniffers around?

I don't think they work on WM5, unless you know differently.
Thanks!

Sorry I didn't know that you meant WM 5. I'll have a look around for you but I am not that hopeful

I know WiFiFoFum works on a PPC-6700, which runs WM5, and that MiniStumbler doesn't work. Since I haven't tried PocketWinc, I know nothing about that one.
In addition to being compatible with WM5, these utilities also have to recogize the wireless adapter in the device to work.

hmmm. This is working fine on my Samsung i730 (WM 2003 SE) for both unsecure and secure networks.
