Hello all,

I have configured a Pocket PC running Win CE 2003 to our
corporate network, however I wanted to ask a few things.

How can I configure an account on Windows 2000 Servers to
allow the Pocket PC to log into the DNS Servers and
therefore access the internet?

Or is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks!

So, the real issue is giving wireless devices access to corpnet. There are
two ways of doing this and the risks for both are great.

You can set up a wireless base station and (wifi router) and give 802.1x
access to your ppc.
You can also multi-home your laptop and turn its wifi card into a wireless
router for the same purpose.

But be warned that either of those approaches opens up your network to
tremendous vulnerability. You must do research into the various encryption
technologies that allow you to give a more secured level of wireless access
but even the new private key encryption protocols have all been broken
