Hi all,

Excellent forum...! :)

My situation: I have a PDA2K (MDA-II equivalent) and would like to access my internet subscription (ADSL) via wireless.

Where I am at: My PPC sees the AP...

Where I want to be: How do I setup a connection for ADSL...???

I have tried to setup a connection, but windows mobile 2003 SE asks for a telephone number....I do not need this for my ADSL...with my laptop I just have IP settings and username/password.

Can this be done on my PPC?

Greatly appreciated if you help me! :D

When you turn Wi-Fi on your Pocket PC will automatically show a notification bubble with a list of AP around your present location. Select the one corresponding to your AP, make sure you check the box saying it connects to the Internet and then enter a WEP key if needed.

That's all that's needed. No need to configure anything else, unless you have specific VPN stuff.

Cheers mate, thanks for the reply...that is what I thought...

But I do have specific VPN stuff...do you know how to setup a VPN over Wireless (I have all the VPN stuff, such as IP address, username and the likes)...?

Thanks in advance for all your help! :)
