How to connect to Internet, through WiFi; a problem
How to connect to Internet, through WiFi
I'll explain exactly where i'm stack. This forum has threads that helped me a lot.
I have HTC P4350 with Windows Mobile 5.0 and my PC runs Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I connect to Broadband Internet using a usual wired ADSL modem/router by Siemens, VIA Ethernet.
My goal is to establish a WiFi connection from my pocket pc, to my desktop, through my new Linksys Wireless USB Network Adapter WUSB54G.
Then, share my files and connect to Internet from my pocket pc, sharing the existing Internet connection that my wired modem/router, gives me.
I have read almost all the walkthroughs about establishing a WiFi connection.
This is what i have accomplished at this time:
-->I am able to access a shared folder that is on my desktop's hard drive, using my HTC. So, that means that the WiFi settings are all ok.
BUT
-->when i run Internet Explorer on my pocket pc, it always says:
"Page not found", so i cannot access web sites.
I have tried everything. When using a USB cable to connect, even then, i couldn't browse web sites. But i found the solution, by downloading a registry fix for Windows Sync Center. So, using a USB cable, everything works fine.
Back to the WiFi now. I tried runnig \\Windows\welcome.exe, but no luck, tried a hard reset, made the same settings, but no luck either.I edited the Wireless Network settings from"Internet" to "Work" and yet nothing. In the connection settings i left the Proxy Server setting blank and checked the box about Internet connection.
In my desktop PC, I have already checked the "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection".
I have also checked "Allow users to control or disable the shared Internet connection", and all the ICS services that the users can access, just to be sure.
Still no luck.
I even upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0, thinking that it might help.
No luck...
Maybe there lies the solution:
I would like morer information on how to set
Ad-hoc mode with an Ethernet (wired) router
Please read and check my questions.
In this guide: http://wifi.aximsite.com/alternate.html, i do not understand some things:
1. "As an alternative to this setup, you can simply bridge the Ethernet (NIC) and wireless adapters on your PC. (The Network Setup Wizard in Windows XP will do this by default.) This allows your router to handle the DHCP functions for all the equipment."
How can i "bridge" the NIC and my wireless adapter in Windows Vista? What does bridge mean?
2. "With this setup, the Ethernet router will be handling all the Gateway and DNS activities which should shorten the time for connecting to websites. Even with this setup, it may be better to set a static IP on your wireless equipment which will allow you to enter your ISP's DNS numbers into your PPC."
If i pick 192.168.1.3 for my PPC, where do i insert this info? In what menu of Windows Mobile?
The point is that my WiFi connection is fine, because i can browse my shared files from my HTC, but the Internet Explorer of HTC seems not to understand that it needs to use WiFi or some ports, in order to give me web access.
I am asking for help.
What to do next?
At this time I am also writting an e-mail to HTC Customer Services about this, cause i really need WiFi access to Internet for my job.
Any help would be greately appreciated.
Thanks.
