Setting up WiFi for work and home

[ToddJ]

I am a little confused about how to do this, but what I would like to do is have my Wifi at home (which does not require a password) to work like normal and then when I go to work (which is a VPN) automatically switch to the work mode. Can I do this? I thought it had this option, but it doesn't seem to work so I am probably doing something wrong...

You can automatically preconfigure your computers with passkeys for each respective network. This should save the hassle of typing in passwords, etc.

I am guessing you'd like an ad-hoc connection at home, which can be easily setup using the wizard, while at work, you should talk to your network administrator for more advice on working passkeys etc.

I already have all the info that I need for it to work at work...I just want it to automatically switch over when I go to work...I have to go into the menu now and switch it from home to work, but I want to be able for the Pocket PC to recognize it on its own and switch it over by itself.

Oh! I thought you were talking about access from a PC. Hehe. I know that PCs should be able to automatically scan and detect the network on its own, but I'm not too sure about how the PPCs do it as I don't use WLAN on my PPC - I use BT at the moment.

Better wait for someone who uses WLAN on their PPC to help you out. Sorry I couldn't help in this case. 8)

Which PocketPC and OS do you use (PPC2002 or WM2003)?

I have an Ipaq 4155 and use Windows Mobile 2003.
