B7. What should I do if my host PC cannot wirelessly connect with
my Toshiba Pocket PC e830?
B5: What is the difference between “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad
Hoc” Network Mode? How do I choose?
Infrastructure Mode is used to connect your Toshiba Pocket PC e830
with the Access Point. Usually, to form a Wireless Network, you can
connect your Access Point to the ADSL, Cable Model or LAN Ether-
net and then configure the Access Point base on the User Guide for
the Access Point to set the proper SSID, Channel and WEP security
service. After that, configure the IEEE 802.11b WLAN adapter. Set
the same SSID, Channel and WEP as use for the Access Point.
802.11 Ad Hoc Mode allows your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to form its
own local network where devices communicate peer-to-peer, using a
shared SSID, without Access Points. Under 802.11 Ad Hoc mode,
the SSID must be the same among stations so that the devices can
communicate properly within the Wireless Network. If you want to
form your network without any Access Points, you should choose
802.11 Ad Hoc mode.
B6: Can I use the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode to access the LAN
resources? How can I access the LAN resource without an
Access Point?
Yes, you can access the LAN resources without an Access Point.
Follow the steps shown below:
(1) Make sure your host PC already successfully connect to the
LAN or Internet through the LAN Adapter or the Modem.
(2) Install the Wireless LAN Adapter into your host PC successfully
and set 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode and the proper SSID to form the
802.11 Ad Hoc Network. Install and enable the ICS (Internet
Sharing Software, such as “SyGate”...) function in your host PC.
(Note that the Windows 2000 supports the ICS function in Local
Area Connection Properties? Sharing)
(3) Set your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 as 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode and
choose the same SSID to join the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network
(choose the DHCP to get the IP assigned).
(4) Check and make sure the Wireless LAN Adapter in the 802.11
Ad Hoc Network have the same IP group. (You can “ping” each
other to make sure the connection is successful)
B7: What should I do if my host PC cannot wirelessly connect with
my Toshiba Pocket PC e830?
(1) Make sure you have setup the partnership for your Toshiba
Pocket PC e830 and your host PC.
(2) Make sure you are within the range of a working network.
