Using a Netgear MA401 wifi card:
I have downloaded the driver from here:
http://www.hpcfactor.com/hcl/
It installs fine. As soon as it installs a screen comes up and I load my WEP key
(128 bit, open
), and my ssid. I plug the card in and tell it to use prismnds as the driver. I leave it to use DHCP. The prism utility "sees" my router, and I hit "connect" and it associates, then connects. But it keeps giving me an IP address of 169.254.38.243. It shows no default gateway. So I tried setting up static information. I give it the IP 192.168.0.39, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.0.2
(not a typo, my cable modem is 192.168.0.1
). On the "IPv6 Information" tab, "Default Gateway" says "Not Available". I think that is my problem. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, did numerous hard resets, starting over from scratch each time, and keep getting the same results. This card works perfectly using DHCP, or Static setup in my J728, and in my laptop. Is there another driver I should be using? This is the driver from the HCL for "Windows CE .net 4.20". I use the drivers from this same page for my J728 and they work fine.
HELP................................
EDIT: I cannot ping the router with any setup outlined above. Pinging just gives: "transmit failed, error code 11010". Oh and the card is a Netgear MA401.
