Help if you can!
I have a Sharp Mobilon HC-6400 (CE 2.0) and want to get my Ethernet card(s) working properly. No success yet. Not sure if the cards are compatible, or even if a fundamental setup on the Mobilon itself is set properly or not.
This is my setup:
(Cable Modem)
|
|
(Cable Router: DHCP enabled)
| |
| |
(4600 WinCE2.0) (Win2K PC)
Various PCMCIA & CF Enet cards tried on 4600:
- IBM Home & Away Enet/Mdm: not good w/ NE2000, no drivers.
- 3com 3c589: not good with supplied drivers (via 3Com).
- Socket EA+: no drivers available from Socket.
- Linksys PCM100: appears to load, but IP appears inop.
- Ambicom AMB8610: install adv not compat w/ HPC device.
None of the cards ever got passed having a good Link to the Linksys CableRouter. When the various cards are first inserted, the 4600 asks for the driver name, which is usually NE2000.DLL. Although the IP stack appears to load, I cannot get a good DHCP load from my Cable Router.
I can't even get a good manual load on the IP address. The Mobilon (HC-4600) either gets some default IP address of 192.168.55.1 (from what?, my Base PC is not setup up as a server) or 127.0.0.1 which seems to be a loopback mode resulting from the cards drivers not loading.
At one time, I got the Ambicom 8610 to work to the point that is was getting UID/PWD style requets from the Linksys Cable Router, but still not letting the requests go through.
I have ActiveSync 3.1 loaded, and use Serial connection only. No ActiveSync Ethernet RAS is configured.
Have tried activating the Enet card when docked and undocked from the Charging cradle, and also both ON/OFF insertion and hot-swapping (with the low power Ambicom) of the PC card(s).
The Ethernet S/W loaded from the WinCE CD is the default like NE2000.DLL, ARP.DLL, NDIS.DLL, etc.
The ONLY card I've seen that SUPPOSEDLY works with the Mobilon 4600 is the Ambicom 8010, which is the predecessor to the 8610.
Any idea? Purleeeeeze! Also, if you do have Enet working on your 4600 please adv of your specific card & drivers.
TIA,
Chris
