Pocket PC Help!

Post by Super Cameraman » Wed Aug 23, 2006 6:12 pm

I got a Pocket PC today, and I can't figure out how to connect to the internet! I have wireless in my house, and it asked me for my WEP key, which I gave it. I'm just stumped. Can anyone help me?

How do I find my ISP server phone number, username, and password.

Oh and BTW, I got it free. So selling it wouldn't be a loss. :lol:

Ok, first of all, what kind of PPC is it. Secondly, your wifi connection is via what kind of router. Third-ly, what the hell do you think you are going to do with internet on the screen of those things!?!

Jesus christ, toto, this isn't a PPC vs Laptop debate, he just wants to get his little gadget running online. First of all, check to be sure that your wireless setting are compatible with your PC. I don't have one of my own, I just use my dad's occasionally. Wish I could be of more help.

Indigo: Clam down. Seriously. No one thinks saying "jesus christ" makes you cool. It makes you look like an ass.
Toto: Try to stay on track. If you can't answer his question directly, don't dilly-dally with pointless suggestions.
Super: Wouldn't this be best suited at Tech Q&A? Yeah, it would...

You could try resetting your router, thats what my neighbor does when my computer won't connect to his wireless and nothing I do on my end helps.

What model is it? I have a PPC powered device with wifi so I can probably help, but the software package that comes with each model is different.

I don't know, some guy just gave it to me! I didn't even know if it worked! I think it's the Toshiba e70? Yeah that's what it is.

I'm not trying to look "cool". If I wanted to look cool I wouldn't be joined up on an internet forum. And I got annoyed with Toto because he did the equivalent of me asking the mac store guy for help with my Ipod and having him run up and tell me that Ipods suck and that I should get a walkman.

Yea, if anyone was trying to look cool, they would be at some... cool place right now other than an online forum directed at building portable game systems.
