Wireless Newton MP

Question

Wireless Newton MP

Well, I have been Newtured so to speak. I have become a Newton guy, but I am stuck and I do not know what to do. I purchased a Lucent WaveLAN Bronze Turbo Wifi Card (P/N: 011498/A) and I am unable to get it to wirelessly connect to the internet. I have all the required packages installed and the Newton regocnizes the card no problem, yet when I use NetHopper to connect, an error occurs when contacting the DHCP Sever. Does any Newton user know how to solve this problem? Help would be most appriciated. Thanx!

500 mhz iBook (Dual USB), Newton 2100, Mac OS 9.2.x, 640 MB of RAM; 40 GB internal and 120 external; OS 10.3 and 9.2; Runs PlayStation Games and Windows!

Ok -
1. Have you checked on the wikiwikinewt that your card is one of the ones that Hiroshi's driver works with? I presume you have got the wi-fi driver?
2. Have you tried connecting using a manual setup rather than DHCP? I find that sometimes if one way doesn't work then the other will.
3. I found that a Lucent card would not work with my router (Netgear) but when I changed to a Netgear wi-fi card I had no problem.

You can always ask for more advice on newtontalk.net.
