hello all, well i can now ping my cingular 8125 as ip address 192.168.1.211 and i'm set for 802.11b and g with 128 bit encryption and i was able to see my wifi lan and it prompted me for the WEP key, which i then put in manually.

actually now i can ping my "wireless LAN" at 192.168.1.211
and can also ping my "NE2000 compatible ethernet adapter" at 192.168.1.212

so i can see them both from another PC on my LAN.

however, when i run IE on the 8125 and put in a URL, after saying "locating" in the bottom left corner and a 30 second or so timeout it always says:

"The page cannot be downloaded or displayed because the connection was lost. check the connection and try again later."

any thoughts or suggestions? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Hi, I've had the same issues with WiFi and internet access on my 8125 WM5. Performed WiFi setups a couple of times and got it to work consistantly. But, didn't know how I did it.

Well, fortunately, a fellow PDA user did write down how to setup WiFi. Here's the URL.

Good luck.
