Ok... stick around and check out www.newtonknowledge.info for wifi set up instructions.

Make sure your router is not protected by WPA, and that you are using a wifi card supported by WavLAN driver. In fact, just strip off the password protection from your router first, and try connecting to it naked.

Only have one worksite set up to connect as well when testing. Also make sure your wifi driver and NIE packages are all on the same store.

Feel free to post your config...

All the best.

Looks interesting and look forward to the instructions on how to
achieve it. Can't get either of my 2100s to work with my WiFi card
(they both used to a couple of years ago), despite numerous configs,
reloads, etc. Perhaps I'll have more luck with this internal gizmo and
then I'll be able to load some Newton "art" to Andy's blog.
