Cannot access Wifi with my Dell X30 PDA and Netgear wireless router

_=DeltaForce=_ · 10-11-2004, 08:17 PM

I got this Netgear MR814v2 802.11b and I connected two wired PCs and the internet works fine. I connected by Dell X30 PDA and it says the signal is excellent everything is fine but when I try surfing the internet, it doesnt work. There isnt any problem with the PDA because I surf at school and at work. I can see the Dell X30 PDA in netgear's attached devices column... Anyone know what the problem could be?

Are you getting a proper address from DHCP? Grab a copy of vxUtil or a similar tool & have a look at your network settings.

I had the same problem last night with my x5, the PDA is fine. The problem is that Netgear is not assigning the x30 an IP address, although signal is good on the handheld, you can't access web. You can try resetting the router first. If it doesn't work, go to router's wireless settings, and just click through everything and click on apply. Sometimes this will get the router start to assigning IP to the handheld again. This is not an "official" solution but that's how i got mine working. good luck getting it up & running.
