need help using Xircom WES..pls

Hi everyone,
my connection is,
dsl modem + NIC + pc + wireless NIC + visor(pla).
for now, I can connect the visor to my computer doing hotsyc without problem, but I cannot go onto internet and browse using blazer.
I've setup my ICS by checking the Internet Connection Sharing checkbox and the setup are,
NIC "obtain IP address and DNS automatically" coz my dsl is dynamic IP
wireless NIC "IP: 192.168.0.1, subM: 255.255.255.0"

however, I still can't have the blazer work....any help? .....thanks

ps: I am using xp pro rc1

If I'm catching your drift:
OS has quit providing service in Europe.
You have a VP that you got when you became a OS Beta Tester.
If it is the same VP that HS sells it works, but you no longer have a Cell Phone Service Provider. If you cannot make a call you cannot call your ISP. If there is another GSM Cell Phone Service Provider in your area, contact them. They should be able to sell you service and a new SIM card to go in the VP.
It seems strange that OS did not provide such information when they quit service. You can bet that the equipment did not go to waist on the OS side of the equation. If they sold their GSM equipment then they know who is set up to provide service.
Please correct me if I got anything wrong...

He's talking about the Xircom 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Springboard module, not a VisorPhone. Seems like he can't access the Internet via the Xircom unit, but he can do a Network HotSync with it.

DivingWill: I remember seeing another couple of threads discussing this issue. Try a search for them.

Could you please explain how you made this thing work.
I have case # C276366 with Xircom but Tech Support has been poor at best. When establishing a connection all looks like it worked. I can ping the gateway but no one else. To an uneducated user it appears as if Name Service is not working as I have to use the actual IP address of any one that I ping or else it just doesn't find the host at all.

Question -- Should someone be able to ping this device?

Using a Cisco Aironet Access Point.

Please help!

Thanks

Hi,
I think it will different because I use pear-to-pear to connect to my network card plugged in my computer, not an AP. however, some settings I use follows,

in the client setting/IP address, I use static, and give it the number of default gateway, say,192.168.0.1, and the SM, 255.255.255.0

then, in the network, I use pear-to-pear,(which may different from yours since you connect to an AP,) and setup the channel is the same as you setup in your computer.

the last, in the network settings/details, connection tpe is PPP, uncheck the DNS, and give them the DNS that provided by your ISP. IP address, I use automatic.

then , it works.

hope this is helpful for you.

It appears that the TCP/IP implementation is not working.
My subnet mask is NOT 255.255.255.0 and according to our local network guru this device is sending arp requests to addresses that are not on the local subnet which I guess it should not. Does this sound familiar to anyone out there and is there a fix. Not sure if this portion of the interface resides on the visor or the xircom card?

Please help
