May 01, 2004Does Not ComputeREPOST: Help - need some geek expertise.
Until this week, my Pocket PC and NetGear CF card have behaved perfectly - not one lick of trouble installing or running. But tonight: "Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings." Been trouble-free for over 18 months, since I first installed the CF card. And there are no troubles with my desktop or my broadband connectivity - everything is running fine. Haven't tinkered with any of the settings on Pocket PC, because there's never been a need to. I did a hard-reset on the device - nothing. The Compact Flash card is receiving the signal from my NetGear router just fine. Suggestions? UPDATE: Sunday morning -- I downloaded & re-installed the NetGear CF card "installation" files...tinkered with the settings...and somehow got it to work. I surfed around, testing a few sites, and it worked fine. Then I did a soft-reset and tried it again...nothing. Hm. A puzzle. Posted at May 1, 2004 05:17 PM | TrackBackCOMMENTS!
DO a soft reset on your pocket pc. Remove the network card from it and put it in again. I've seen this problem on mine and the only thing that seemed to work was to reset, rempve and re-insert the card. And even that doesn't always work. Sometimes, it just makes you wait, and eventually it decides to work again. I know, annoying. Posted by: sama at April 29, 2004 05:12 AMDave, are you whole again, yet? Did it work?
