Question Hi Salman, I have a Dell Axim X50v PDA that I would like to set up to be able to get on the internet wirelessly. I am a little confused about how I go about doing this. From what I can figure out, I think I need a wireless Compact Flash card or wireless Secure Digital card. This PDA also has Bluetooth capability. Do I in-fact need a wireless card, and how do I go about setting it up? Can you recommend any one in particular?
Answer Dear Bob,
Your Dell Axim X50v has built in WLAN so no need of buying any SD/CF card.
Follow these steps to configure your WLAN connection
Get Wireless Connection IP Address i.e
(((Configure Settings at Desktop/Laptop Computer))))
1. Click Start - > Run.
2. Type in "cmd" and click Ok.
3. Type in "ipconfig /all" and press Enter.
4. Look for the wireless connection IP address
Note Wireless connction IP Address then,
Goto Control Panel> WLAN
a) At Wireless Networks create Network and Disable WEP and mark at Adhoc mode
b) Set TCP/IP protocol as under,
Example [IP Address 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 ]
use your address
c) At Wireless LAN Network Properties> Advance Tab
set "Cam when AC power = Enable"
"Network type= Adhoc"
d) At dialup or other connection settings go to connection settings> Advanced> at"Internet Connection Sharing" apply check to "allow othernetwork users to connect through this network connection" Click to set appropriate connection.
