Starting - Ipaq Hx2415, setting up.

[jmartin]

Hi everyone.
I receive as a gift the Ipaq Hx2415, but only the unit with usb charger cable, without cdroms or other software.
I plugged to pc to charge bateries but W2000 detects and ask software to install it. I am looking for the driver or something else in HP Ipaq page but only found Bios update, not other kind of software (some related to drivers) My first question is the web page where I could make a free download.
I notice this model has bluetooh and wifi. I saw the h2200 series have a program to control remote Tv's and other Ir devices, I would like to get this software for this model.
At the same time I wanna use this Ipaq to surf the web but dont understand how to setup this, when turn on de WiFi an screen message appears "Unrecognized Card" "Enter the name of the device driver for this card..." and sees a space to write which have filled with words "Network card in Socket 2", down the "Ok" an "Cancel" buttons. I installed an Dlink 2000 AP + access point (which works ok with desktop pcs,wireless cameras and notebooks),enter the same IP address class in Ipaq,turn off and on again but the Ipaq dont detect de Access point, I think the problem maybe when Ipaq tells "Network card in Socket 2" question...this is my second question for this forum.
All replys are welcome...

Hi Alsavs
Your post was usefull...! now i can "see" the ipaq via usb.
but still with the problem of how to setup WiFi to join internet via an access point. As I wrote always I turn on wireless appears that message asking giving a name, as if it couldn't be reconognized.
All replys are welcome.

The link about how lo create and conect to LAN is very usefull, but I was surfing and found that problem maybe related to lost driver or hardware malfuntion. I am trying to find the driver file to save it on Ipaq windows folder but the sites I found dont explain which brand is the chipset related to WiFi. Other Wifi Forums says problem was resolved with several hard resets but after some time cames again or other whichs says need a return to factory, this last possibity isn't for me due this unit was a gift and can't return to nowhere. I put here link to one of that forums I found, the error message is exact for me. I have Ipaq hx2415.
Thanks again.
