Cassiopeia A20 working with the D-Link DWL-650

Hey all,

Just wanted to write and say that I've gotten my Casio Cassiopeia A20, a 2.0 device, up and running on my 802.11b network with a D-Link DWL-650 card. It's the older generation and works fine with the Prism drivers!

I couldn't find much information in one place (there are tons of bits scattered around) so I'm hoping this will gather it all together; it took me hours to find everything I needed, and maybe I can spare you the trouble It took a bit of fiddlin', but here's what I did (and what might help some of you):

First, from the desktop:
1. Install CE 2.0 SP1
2. Install Casio SP2
3. Install Networking SP
4. Install PRISM.HPC200SHx.CAB File

Then, on the device:
1. Run PRISM cab file
2. Insert DWL-650
3. Enter driver name as "PRISMNDS.dll" (no quotes)
4. Run the "wireless config tool" that came with the drivers.
5. Adjust configuration to fit my wireless network (encryption, etc)
6. Soft reset

At this point, the card worked great, but I was unable to use DHCP to obtain a dns server -- only an IP address for the HPC itself. So I went into setup again and manually entered in my two nameservers' IPs.

And then, voila! Google loads in the browser

I hope this helps.

anyway spread the word that CE 2.0 can go wireless!

1) CESD (support section on this site) and/or HCL (on this site again)
2) yes... if its a BW screen and AA batteries, you will need AC power.

AC power needed...
But in fact, I have a more important issue : it is a D-link 650+, so a 32 bit card...
Could you give me samples of others 16 bit cards ? I found Netgear MA401, but difficult to get one in France, even on e-bay...

Thanks..

Thierry
