ok i managed to access the internet from the infrastructure using dhcp and it worked still nothing on the ad-hoc ok when i am not connected vx does list the handhelds ip as 127.0.0.1 however it lists the card as havin an ip of 192.168.1.104 which is its ip when it is connected and this is with the card out any advice on the ad-hoc issue
ad hoc: i don't have experience with that, sorry.. but i think you'd better use a static ip, gateway, dns etc for that. and the right one. (read a little on the topic)
yeap it does works fine in infurasturure mode and is fully automatic as to the ad-hocx the system runing as my ad-hoc server is fully atomatic assigns dhcp information to the clients whic was working fine using the same card in my laptop and several other systems
