Hi yesterday i established a GPRS connection over BT between my Ipaq 5550 and SET610 no problems all is fine and dandy.

Today I wa at Intel and they have a wireless LAN so i decieded to play all seems to be working fine after ui excpeted their usage agreement, however one thing that confused teh hello out of me was quite often when i tried to visit a new page it kept prompting for a user name and password. I was logged onto a guest account which they have for visitors, the second thing threw me even more was the username was filled in withe user name i use for my Vodafone UK GPRS connection.

Any ideas on what was happening and why, and more to the point how to stop it, I am plannong on WiFi at home and dont want these problems there.

thanks for the help

Jerry

It looks like the wi-fi connection wasn't handing out DNS or Gateway settings correctly, and the Pocket PC was trying to connect to the next network available (GPRS).

Ah great so not my fault at all then, the Intel guy did say it was a bit wobbly at times. Because what happened was after several cancel of the UN and PW screen it just loaded that page, connected to mail server etc.
