hello,
Ok heres what i have:
Ipaq 3635 with pocketpc 2002 upgrade. linksys WCF11 compact Flash Wireless lan card. im using Prism's drivers because i have heard they are better. AND i cant install the linksys ones because it says invalid setup file. (i have tried hard reset even, and still get this problem) linksys WAP11 v. 2.2 wireless access point. and a Linksys 4 port Router v. 2. On the "network" i have a windows XP computer, an Xbox, and this wireless access point.
Heres the problem:
So everything is working fine with my WAP11 and Ipaq... till i move, and set everything up again... then it worked once right when i set it up, then stopped working, so a few weeks later i rearranged everything, set everything back up, and it worked once again, the next day it stopped working all together. And this is where I am now.
I plug in my WCF card and it picks up the WAP11. Im getting good signal strength. But its like its not connected at all. I cant serf the web… I cant connect to my Computer with terminal service. And I cant even sync my Avantgo channels though the setting menu. (which seems to work, even when nothing else does. But not this time I get a “server not found, or DNS error message)
So what I think the problem is, is between the Router and the WAP. Somehow they are not communicating. My WAP is set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.251, and I have DHCP enabled on the Router. When I log into the router and go to the “DHCP Active IP Table” it says that the WAP is assigned an IP of 192.168.1.101… so that does not seem to make any since.
So anyone have any suggestions… of course I have reset and unplugged both the router and the WAP many times. Or is the problem with the Drivers on the Ipaq? I have also tried setting the IP address on the Ipaq to the same as the router 192.168.1.251 by going into settings/connections/network adapters, but this did not seem to help either. Oh and I have updated the firmware of all the components. (other then the WCF11 because as I said the drivers wont install.)
