Connecting A Windows Mobile 5 up to a wireless network?

Callumpy · 28-12-2007, 21:57

Does anybody know how to do it?

I cant do it!

It's do-able. I've been typing on this one for days.
I choose the wireless network from the wifi settings, enter the passkey, connect and that's it. I use the terminal services client and remote desktop into my main machine. I don't need to, I have a laptop, but this PDA is new (to me) and I'm a geek.

mine doesnt even have a list of networks to choose from, but it has got the wireless networking in the phone!

can it connect to access points?

Yes. I'm connected to my wireless router.
I can use the unit's browser or use the main machine's browser by remote.
What PDA is it?
Sure you've enabled your WLAN?

i have enabled the wlan on my phone, i cant find a network in rage though!
my PC is using wireless now, so there definatly is one!

Should be able to see it then. This PDA (SPV M5000/XDA EXEC) can currently see 7 wireless points while my laptop sees only 2 or 3.
Have you tried a Google search for "connect [whatever PDA you have] to wireless network" ?
Often you'll find forums dedicated to your kind of PDA.

I'm not sure Microsoft will be able to help you to be truthful!!
A forum dedicated to mobile units will be better. Try www.modaco.com

You still haven't said what ppc / phone you are using. That might help a bit, also there are a couple of progs that will connect you to any open / unsecured networks in range.

I'll look for them now, so what are you using

Nice. I'll remember that!

Callumpy · 29-12-2007, 22:40

ok the make of my Phone is: Holiday
model: Q9

at first i thought it was a copy of the motorola Q9, it isnt though.
I also dont have a instruction book and i bought it off eBay from a seller in Hong Kong

I really like the phone and the stuff on it, but connecting to the internet is the main reason for having the phone!

Callumpy · 29-12-2007, 22:49
