Has anyone been able to set up an ad-hoc network connection to their clie using a Linksys Wireless USB Network Adapter? I've been trying for awhile now and nothing seems to work. Any pointers (or preferably a walkthrough) would be most welcome. Thanks!

I don't know of any but, Pelaca may know as I remember reading a thread recently where he had discussed a WiFi dongle. The more I have used Linksys the less impressed I am with them. Some of their stuff jsut flat out doesn't work with the Clie. The 54G is one glaring example that comes to mind.

Whoa hold on... I know this is off-topic... but... You're a Ham! Why didn't I see that before... Oh well.. I'm KB1IFG for all it's worth. Don't see too many of us online in my wanderings!

Ok, right. So, even though that was off-topic, I'm still looking for help. Thanks.

Ok, so I have it to the point where Windows XP sees the ad-hoc network being broadcast by my Clie under "available wireless networks", but I still can't utilize any kind of connection.

Hi Jeremy!

Very good OM, fine business, sound familiar? I built my first crystal radio when I was 8 years old as a Cub Scout. It's hard to believe that it was 43 years ago, hi-hi! Not enough hours in the day for all my toys. My brother Rick, N4TCT lives with me, so we have two of everything. He is retired USAF and is now a Nextel technician. There have been a few others I have seen in Clie Source and in some of the other forums:).

73 and take care!
