Help with Wireless newton connection

[zerohour]

Hello can anyone help me set up my MP2100...

The card in question is a Lucent WaveLAN Silver

I have the appropriate drivers loaded and All my info setup under Owner Info

Done Internet Setup

Loaded Enroute (latest version from UNNA) may need some extra plugins.

The card flashes but my wireless router(BT Voyager 2091) does not seem to register it. Set up The SSID and WEP key but it complains it can not find the DHCP server unavailable or unable to configure this device.

Anyone any ideas on how to solve this ?

FWIW this happened to me too when I tried it, with my Silver and MP2100. Never did make it work...

Have you given it a shot (if your router supports it) with going into 802.11b ONLY mode? My older belkin had issues with this, but worked great once in b only mode. I have kept it around with only the newton's mac address allowed, and plug it in only when I want newt online. Kind of weird, but it works!

Hey,

Did you solve the problem?

If not, I don't have time to research this, and it is 4am where I am, but another thing to look at is if the WaveLan Silver is a regular PCMCIA card, or if it is a Cardbus card.

Cardbus will not work in the Newton...the Newt is too old (like me!).

I did once try my Orinoco/Lucent Gold card in my Newton 2000 and the drivers didn't want to work for it either. I can't remember what the error was but I'll have a look this weekend and see if I can get any more information from it. Certainly the card works perfectly and is of the correct standard, since it functions properly with the Wavelan drivers on my PowerBook 1400.

No I never did solve the problem ... yeah its a normal

Silver Turbo Type II card. It however did not work even with my G3 Wallstreet so I am not sure its the drivers or the actual card itself.
