i'm trying to connect to the Internet with my iPAQ 3975 on my home network.
i have a Netgear MA701 CF card and a Netgear MR314 wireless router. i have one laptop wirelessly connected to the network and two PCs with ethernet cable connections. i have dhcp enabled. i have matched the ESSID to the router, although it should connect configured to ANY. i have reinstalled the driver/utility. i have updated the firmware on the router. i get a 90-100% signal strength. i have tried a static IP with the correct gateway and subnet mask settings. at one time on the router's dhcp table i saw an IP address show up for the iPAQ. i checked the MAC address and it was the same as the iPAQ. it still didn't access the Internet even when the iPAQ's server-assigned IP showed up on the table. i've rebooted everything- modem, router, entire network, etc. several times. i still can't get it to work.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

Have you checked that the WEP encryption level matches on both PDA and Base ? Once you have an IP try using IE on your PDA to access the admin page on your base. In the address field you will probably have to enter in http://192.168.0.1 (depending on how your base is configured). Did you reboot your PDA after you installed the WiFi drivers? Anyhow ..it could be alot of things ...good luck
