    unsucessfully tried to access t'internet from the library using a 802.11b compatible PDA ( axim x30)

    has anyone else been able to configure their PDA to access internet on the DCU WLAN ?

    if so can they PM me and let me know how they managed it ?

    thanks,

    May sound obvious, but, have you got your proxy settings set up?

    proxy settings weren't the problem.

    problem was just my unfamiliarity with the device itself.

    figured it out in the end though.

    there is a WLAN utility that will display the list of available networks. you simple select the network , click ok and then select "the internet" in the "this devices connects to " dropdown list.
