cisco wireless config problems

Greetings all-

I recently got a cisco air-pcm340 card for the J720, and I am having great difficulty configuring it to run on my wireless network in my home. I downloaded and installed the exe file from cisco called CiscoWinCE300v200, and it seemed to install just fine. I put in the numbers that it asked of me, and when I run the cisco link status, it is telling me that it is recieving a signal, and the Statistics Utility says that the signal is there. But when I try and ping my router or any other computer in my house, it don't get a bounce back. Furthermore, when I try and start IE, it says that there is no connection found.

Lastly, if I pull the card out of the J720, and then reinsert it, it won't recognize it.

I would be grateful if someone can provide me some insight on how to fix this problem.

Thanks-

Joe HC

I think that I have answered you some place already; never mind! I have a Cisco Aironet 350. So, if you can see statistics and signal strength, I would say that your Wi-Fi card is configured properly and working. If the card is not synchronised with an Access Point, you just don't see anything. Can you see the IP address?

I guess that the problem must be somewhere else. Check in your "Internet Options" if "Connect through Proxy" is enabled. If so, disable it!

Yeah, I too have a cisco 350 wireless card for my j720. I don't have a home router, but I bought the card so I could access the hotspots in uni, and there is one near where I live also. ther only experience I had with wireless was in my mates laptop, and with that you have to sear ch for a netowrk, it lists what it finds, then you CONNECT to it, and it tell you when it is connected.
So I am sitting with plenty of signal and stuff, and trying in vain to press the 'start' button, in an attempt to get a CONNECTEd message! sitting for hours not succeeding in getting a connection I was raging! then my mate came in, inserted the card, and just double clicked on PIE and everything loaded straight away lol talk about over thinking stuff

Joe HC,

If I remember correctly it may be worth your time trying the H/PC Pro (CE2.11) driver for your CPU.
Also be sure to change the connection mode (Infrastructure / Ad-hoc)

Cisco uses a rather strange naming here:

Infrastructure Mode: Yes / No. "No" means "Ad hoc". So, Infrastructure Mode shall be set to "Yes" in most cases.
