I have everything setup to browse the internet on my ipaq which connects to my wireless router on a 2 meg connection, thing im finding is it is quite slow to respond, now im not sure if this i the speed of the ipaq or the connection it is receiving, it streams radio and some movies fine, but accessing some sites is extremely slow, i mean its lightning fast on my media center pc which shares the same connection. Its really werid because even after downloading the update for msn i cant login using wifi, with the usb it connects fine, the same with ebay it wont connect unless connected usb, anyone got any ideas??

Sites will show up a little slower on a Pocket PC than on your desktop. Remember this is not a computer running at full power, but a handheld device with limitations (CPU speed, battery, etc). It should of course still be faster than some old computer though.

For the connection problems, it could be that your wireless Acess Point is filtering some of the packets? Does it have a firewall? Are you connected to an Access Point in infrastructure mode or to a computer on an ad-hoc mode? Perhaps security (WEP, LEAP) is interfering? Have you tested without it?

You see, there's no single answer, since each person's network is different from another's...

After messing around with the settings on my ipaq and on my router i managed to stop all accessable wifi for 2 days, after hours of playing around its back up and running, but still no ebay or msn messanger, everything else seems ok, i have given all access in my bt 1250 wireless router firewall settings. i am not sure if i have the settings setup correct on the ipaq, so far i have it set to open authentication, wep data encryption and key filled in correctly, i have it set to use ieee 802.1x network access control eap type peap. these are the only settings that will allow me to connect to the internet using wifi, what am i doing wrong!!?? I would love to have msn messenger using wifi, the funny thing is it still connects ok using the usb cradle, so its definately not a software things. HELP!!
