Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity issues (pics inside)

[wonlove]

I encourage all of you to get a hearty laugh out of my absolute lack of computer IQ. And I haven't even posed my question yet...

Ok, so here's my problem. I have an iPaq 2215 (or 2225, I really have no idea) and I want it to be able to connect to the internet. Here are the pics I have taken of everything I have physically, please, can someone guide me so I can get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity?


Much thanks in advance.

Can anyone help? I have installed the drive on my iPaq and put in the compact flash card, but it still will not work.

What's the other Bluetooth device you're trying to get at?

I don't use ambicom CF WiFi, but everyone else posts on this forum saying don't use the drivers in the CD, rather download the latest from their website.

Try this link...I posted it a couple of days ago to help people looking to connect their stuff to the Internet using Wifi...

It should take you most of the way if not the whole 100 yards...

Let us know where you get stuck.

Maybe Peppe will modify it to make sense like his bT docs. I'm not as gifted as him...

>> can someone guide me so I can get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity?

Your Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse won't be able to communicate with your iPAQ, so you can eliminate an iPAQ-to-notebook Bluetooth connection as an option with your current set up. The Microsoft products don't have a Bluetooth profile in common with the 2200 series.

There's supposed to be a workaround for getting the Microsoft Bluetooth products to work with other products, but it's fairly complicated, involves editing your notebook's registry file, and may create problems with your notebook. So it's probably not a good option at this point.

Two others have asked me how to get the microsoft bluetooth to work, so the ipaq can connect. Both of them got it working using acer 1.4 drivers if i recall. There are some good howto's on other boards.

Can I use my Ambicom PC card to connect my laptop to my PDA?

And thank you for all the responses thus far. MUCH appreciated.

I have my MS BT adapter working with my iPAQ. It's an easy process and it doesn't envolve editing the registry at all. It does require to use an HEX editor with one .dll. Got everything working in 15 minutes.
