Hi,

I've gone through the forum posts and the article on nat32 here, and have an "amusing" problem. My iPAQ can now connect, to my PC with an internet connection, and everything seems happy, (ie, I've gone through the guides, doing everything and it's been working) up to the point when I go to IE on my PDA and try to surf to a site, it can't connect. I'm guessing I'm missing something but anyway...

I've got
- a cable modem (via USB)
- Home network (adapter set to 192.168.0.1)
- iPAQ 2210 (BT adpater set to 192.168.1.1)

ICS is set up on the cable modem, sharing at the moment to the network. It currently is working, and all computers can share files/internet.

As I said before, I can connect a new internet connection to the PC with the PDA, once nat32 is setup using defaults. But I can't actually browse anywhere. The only part I can really see I may be missing something is in the nat32 config, where you select the connections as private/internet/etc. I currently am using

- Modem (Internet)
- Home Network (192.168.0.1) (Private)
- BT adapter (192.168.1.1) (Private)

Another note, should ICS still be turned on when using Nat32? Or should it be disabled? (I'm unclear of this as some guides mention the network adapter NOT using 192.168.0.1, which is impossible with ICS turned on to my knowledge)

Any possible solutions welcome, my apologies for dragging up another "dead" topic, but I've searched the others to no avail.

-Tom

You don't need ICS when using NAT32. For what I read it seems that everything should be ok. A few things to try:

  • On your Pocket PC open File Explorer, move to \Windows and execute welcome.exe. After this soft reset the Pocket PC and try again.
  • When you connected the first time using the Bluetooth setup you might have been asked for a username and password. Don't enter anything there, and check the box "Remember password". If you did enter something you have to delete the connection in the Connection Manager and in the Bluetooth Manager, and do it again
  • Download and install VxUtil. Run it and check if you can PING a host (like www.wired.com) by name and by IP address
  • Check that no firewall software is active and blocking the communications you need.
