I have a new iPaq 4150.
I have played with it and got the wlan to connect, it says connected and it took me a while just to get to this point :rolleyes:
Definently not as easy of a time as I had with my 3800 and an add on card.
I figured it would be much simpler since the wifi is built in.

So I get the network connected, but when I hit sync it says it cannot connect to the computer.
I have the computer set to allow network connections, I have the DNS servers in the iPaq....
I remember at one point there had to be an account on the PC, but I think that was a long time ago and AS 3.7 doesn't require that.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Here's a wifi guide including wifi sync from Axim site, but it should apply to all pocketpc, one key thing is you have to first create and establish partnership with desktop by cradle. usb/serial cable or ir;

Due to the way the network my desktop is on is set up I need to add the IP number of my desktop as a WIN server address on the IPAQ. I dont think that always needs to be done but it might be something to try.

Thanks, I had to rename it...
Still didnt work...
Then I realized I don't have DHCP enabeld on that wireless range, So I hard coded an address.
Looks like it is trying to connect now, still not making it, guess I have to troubleshoot from the wireless side now.

Thanks again
