This is part of a continuing journey to get my Windows CE device to
play well with my home network. Been having a hell of a time. I'm
having the same problem with wired and wireless ethernet card, I must
be screwing up the settings somehow.

Here's the setup
IBM Workpad Z50 running Win CE 2.11.
SMC 7004AWR wireless router.
Linksys E2CT ethernet card
Orinoco Gold wireless card (Both are widely reported to be compatible
with the unit.)

I set network adapter to DHCP. Unlike my desktop and laptop, there
seems to be no option to have it automatically set domain name
servers. The only positive results I've had is putting in my router's
address a DNS and WINS. (192.168.123.254) Using vxUtil, I can now
successfully ping my router through both the wired and wireless cards.

But no surfing. Just error messages. I'm not MAC filtering; I'm not
encrypting. I've soft resetted a couple of times. What's left???
Grrrrrr. Thanks

The devil is in the DETAILS. So, maybe if you cut/pasted an
EXAMPLE of the 'just error messages', we'd have a better
chance of understanding what sort of problem you are having.

A guess would be its a DNS issue, but without details, a guess
is the best we can do.

Cheers...
Dave
