Your network almost certainly requires a password because it is using encryption. That means you need to use the same encryption type on the network and on the card in your HPC. And that means knowing which kind(s) your are using. Given the age of your HPC, I'm pretty sure it and the card in it support only WEP. But your network is probably newer and using WPA. That won't work. If you control the network, you _could_ switch it to WEP, but that would be less secure. And probably pointless anyway (see next paragraph). > Also if >it is not possible to establish a full internet connection how could I >establish an Activesync session with my desktop PC using the wireless >card? You can't establish an ActiveSync connection via Ethernet (wired or wireless) until you first establish a partnership while connected via serial comm or USB (if it is supported on your HPC). And you can't use Ethernet without an ActiveSync connection. Side issue: be very careful with the power plug that goes into your HPC. It is very thin, and thus easily broken. Somewhat easy to fix if you're handy with wiring. If you're not, replacing the whole adapter can be pricey ($100 U.S.) ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).
