hi,
i'm trying to connect my ipaq with pc over wlan.
i can establish connection, but i can't access anything on the pc.

when i type in the file explorer the ip of the pc i get a message 'Cannot
connect with current connection settings. ...'.
i tryed everything i could find on the net.

i'd like to setup this network, so that i can recive streaming video,
cause windows media player cant find anything right now. dunno why.

i hope i've put the question up right.

if you know how, please help.

thnx.

First things first.

I am by no means an expert and mine was a pain to set up but here are my
tips.

Make sure the connections all relate to "work" and not "internet" - cant get
mine going on "internet" setting.

Then dont try getting access to anything on lan until you have a net
connection via ppc. Also I sometimes have to reset my PC to get it working.

Weak advice I know but its this what got me going.

All I did with my 4150 was to enter the desktop pc name as follows in the ie
pop-up:

\\pcname where the pc name is your specific pc name. Also I had to turn
off all firewalls.

Hope this helps
