    Like many I guess got a PDA for Crimble. A HTC TyTn with Windows Mobile 6.

    Not particularly interested in using the phone other than for Internet.

    Connect easily to my home router. Then got a sim card and got some credit on
    it. Haven't used this (knowingly) yet. Now in a different location with
    access to another router. Have connected to the router OK - it says
    available. However when I try and use Internet Explorer it trys to make a
    phone call which it didn't do when I was at home on the other router. How do
    I ensure it uses the router and doesn't make an expensive call?

    If it says "available" it's not connected. It should say "connected".

    Are you sure you used the right WEP/WPA key? Try a tap-and-hold (WM
    equivalent of right-click) on the word "available" you should get a
    context menu with "Connect" as an option. Select that, and wait 30-45
    seconds; the status should change to "connected". If not, something is
    wrong.

    Re: New to PDA's and Windows Mobile

    Turns out I had the key wrong and why I couldn't get a PC here to work. Now
    the PC is working so I have the right key. It's long and complicated and
    have typed it into the PDA with difficulty twice but still not connecting.
    Thought there must be a way of copying and pasting so downloaded activesync
    and copied it in a notepad file to the PDA. Its showing in the PDA via the
    PC but not when I look in the PDA. However about 20 files are shing in the
    PDA through activesync on the PC but only two when I look in the PDA, why
    should that be?

    Is there a way of copying and pasting the key into the network settings?

    Either it's a hidden file (which doesn't show on the PDA) or you are
    looking in the wrong area of the PDA. If you have a storage card, you
    may have a "My Documents" area on that, as well as in the main device
    memory. Where are you looking for the file? The drop-down box at the
    top left of File-Explorer allows you to navigate around.

    As I mentioned, "tap and hold" is the WM equivalent of a right-click,
    and gives you a pop-up context menu. Drag across the key-text, then
    tap-and-hold on the selected text; choose "Copy" from the context
    menu. Then, in the WEP-key box, tap-and-hold in the blank text area;
    choose "Paste" from the context menu.

    Follow-up questions might do better in microsoft.public.pocketpc,
    that's where the WM experts hang out.

    I though there should be a pocketpc group but couildn't find it (maybe not
    on news.orange.fr that I'm using here).

    re where I'm looking for the file I was looking in my document in both the
    PDA's memory and the storage cards memory as well but couldn't find it
    though it shows on the PC.

    Managed to locate the wordpad file and copy and paste to security key into
    connection settings but it's still not connecting. I'm using the same
    wordpad file as I use to get another PC to connect with after I tore my hair
    out for hours as to why that wasn't connecting so the security key is right.

    Are you sure you're connecting to the right network?

    My ipaq has four to six networks on the street to choose from,
    make sure your trying to log into your network, not your
    neighbors network.

    My street is a main street with five networks in various houreses
    plut another network at the fire station down the street.

    I don't think the inhabitants of this street will have ever seen the
    internet!
