Re: Connecting A Windows Mobile 5 up to a wireless network?
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.

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?

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

Re: Connecting A Windows Mobile 5 up to a wireless network?
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!
