Can't connect my iPaq to my network...

[BertieMeldrew]

I tried a search but could find nothing specific to this...

I have a home network (Netgear Router, Desktop PC wired-in, Laptop PC wireless-in). All works ok.

I now have an iPaq 2490b with wireless, bluetooth etc capability. It can see my Netgear LAN but won't connect. It says "Available" then when I <click> "Connect" it says "Connecting" for a few seconds and then reverts to "Available".

Am flumoxed! Any suggestions as to what I try?

Many thanks in anticipation... bm

I had issues with my 2790.

Firstly is the SSID hidden, and what encrytion is set up? If you have MAC filtering, have you added the iPaq's MAC address to the allowed filter?

Encryption IS case sensitive, regardless of ASCII or HEX WEP/WPA methods. So A7 is not seen as the same by some routers as a7. Also some routers don't need . or - between hex sets (ie a1b2c3 rather than a1.b2.c3 etc).

If you've exhausted all that, and still no joy, try Oddessy which is on the companion CD for your iPaq.
