I haven't tried Ad-hoc mode. Never found that to work. Hope you figure that out.

Ive got an ipaq 2210, and installed a wlan cfII card. Ive got a belkin pci wifi card attached to my pc. Im running windows xp. I have set up the pc wifi card in ad-hoc mode and my pda can find it fine and connect, i can even ping the pda from my pc and recieve packets back and replyes in the dos box.
but if i try to connect to the net or activesync wirelessly it wont work and i dont know why or what im doing wrong when they connect and when i ping the pda i get a reply.
Any ideas?
