Guest karlth Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 If I enable WiFI to my local router the PDA gets an IP address and everything seems to be working fine. On the title bar there is an icon of Tower with two stationary arrows point in either direction. WiFi settings displays the correct IP awarded by the router. Now if I start IE then instead of using the WiFi connection it dials GPRS!? Can anyone help? Settings: Network Management: "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: My ISP" Settings: Network Adapters use "Internet" "My ISP" Set to Auto Pick. Two other settings in the list, both GPRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drewtech Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 When you setup the Wi-Fi did you check the box that said that it connects to the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest karlth Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 When you setup the Wi-Fi did you check the box that said that it connects to the internet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hadn't noticed that the "The Internet" option is set in two places. For the network card and also for the connection. I'll try it out later today and report back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest karlth Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 When you setup the Wi-Fi did you check the box that said that it connects to the internet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well that did infact do the trick. Set the "To the Internet" option for the wireless connection, not just the wireless card. And a soft reset as well was needed. Thanks a million! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
