HP 5550 Wi-fi can nit see internet, but sees router, why

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

Well, presuming your broadcasting the network SSID from the MN-700 it probably comes down to a WEP
key issue. The SSID should be picked up automatically by your iPAQ 5555.

Try this...

Disable WEP on both the iPAQ and the MN-700. See if you get a valid IP from the MN-700 on your iPAQ.
The IP should be a 192.168.X.X address. Use either vxIPConfig or vxUtil for that...

http://www.cam.com/vxutil.html

If you get a valid IP see if you can ping the MN-700 and other desktops on your LAN...Use vxUtil for
that...

Once you get a valid IP address, reenable WEP and use the same key on both the MN-700 and the iPAQ.
Use a hex key on the iPAQ.

Example of a 128-bit key...

ASCII n+Bl[31ArgLL = Hex 6e2b426c5b33314172674c4c20

Lastly make sure your Connection Manager is setup correctly...ie. for "Work" and "My Work
Network"...

The PDA can ping the wireless AP and router. It does get a proper IP
address. For some reason it does not get beyond the router. I even have the
router wide open (no firewall). My laptop works with no problem and my
friend laptop works with no problem. The PDA also do not work in any other
wireless environments.

You might try the following...

1. Power off the iPAQ.
2. Remove the battery for 5-10 seconds.
3. Reinstall the battery.
4. Power on the iPAQ and try your wireless connectivity again.
