WIFI connectiong with WEP?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc,microsoft.public.pocketpc.wireless (More info?)

The differences you see in the IP definitions are due to the fact that your
device did not manage to pass WEP authentication.

My guess is that at the first time you registered to the network you forgot
to mark that the WEP is 128bit, and then the value of 64bit was saved on the
profile of the network connection.

What you should do in this case is to delete the profile of the network, and
re-connect from scratch, entering the WEP Key and not forgetting this time
to define 128bit WEP.

I'm 90% positive that I specified the first time that this was a 128 bit
network, but I'll give it a try and see what happens. What is the best way
to go about removing my network profile?

WIRELESS NOW WORKING, and I can't tell you what I did to fix it. But I want
to thank you guys for helping me, I have a feeling that resetting the
connection settings and the REMOVING THE BATTERY helped.

Removing the battery usually helps most of the time. I'm glad you have it
working again, wireless issues can be nerve racking at times

I get the feeling that it just wouldn't release the old settings or activate
the new ones. I actually did a hard reset and re-installed everything to see
if it would work a few weeks ago and the same problem it didn't start
working until today?

Usually different cards will have different drivers, but a way that will
work in all WM2003 devices is to go to Start | Settings | Connections |
Connections | Advanced | Network Card and then delete from there (by
Tap-and-Hold and choosing "Remove Settings") the network name you want to
re-define.

1) NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver
2) IPAQ USB Wireless Adapter
3) Bluetooth Pan User Driver
4) L2TP NDISWAN Miniport
5) AsyncMac NDISWAN Miniport
6) PPTP NDISWAN Miniport

THANKS FOR THE HELP

HOW DO I go about removing these properties? I'm not sure if I mentioned but
the 5550 works fine at my parents house that have the same Linksys wireless
router without WEP. Do I need to hard reset the unit to uninstall any of
these changes?

Have you tried the good old turn off the iPAQ, remove the battery for 5-10 seconds, reinstall the
battery trick?

To remove certain connection settings make sure the 802.11b wireless radio is turned on, then go to
"Start -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Network Card". Tap and hold on the connection
you want to delete and select "Remove Settings"... Again, the 802.11b wireless radio must be
enabled, ie Flight Mode Off, to do this...
