I have a Belkin 802.11b Wireless Router connected to a PC. DSL Modem works
great and I get instant access with my Belkin Wifi PC card in my laptop. But
when I try to access the router with my iPAQ 5555, I get locked up.

The Wifi light turns green, the connections show that I'm connected, but if
I try to run Internet Explorer, the iPAQ locks up and I have to reboot.

Can someone please tell me what settings I need as far as WEP and The
Internet or Work, Authentication, etc. etc.....It's all very confusing.

I have connected wireless at other hotspots that I have found around town,
so I know it works. Is there a setting on my router that I need to change?

Please help!!!!! Thanks. Al.

Have you enabled WEP? If you had, maybe you are not using the same passkey.

Try to disable Wep in the router and connect. Only when it works, then
enable Wep, connect, give the right passkey, and it will work.
