modem/router 327w what makes is ad-hoc or infrastructure? Is there a setting that change it from one to another? If so where and what is it called? I have looked through the setting but I just can not figure out which of the setting it is. The modem is 327w modem/router from Verizon DSL. Also since I am not 100% sure of what the current setting is, is there a way of determining what the modem/router is set to? I have a hp iPAQ which has wireless capablity, if I set it to look for infrastructure it only sees my neighbor wireless connection with a signal strenght of 10-50%. However if I set it to look for ad-hoc connection I get a signal strength of 100% . So this is why I am asking. Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 3.0.3 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 2.0.0.16

ad hoc is computer to computer. You don't set that in the router. What you want to do is determine why the HP isn't seeing your router. Is SSID broadcast enabled? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

This part of my problem, I really do not know if it is enabled or not. If I look at my ipconfig /all it says enabled in one place and disabled in another.

So it does seem like there is some kind of wireless transmission. Also if I look at my statistics page on the 327w, I find that information has been transmitted and received by the wireless connection. Have I provided any useful information or do you need more?

If that's the ipconfig /all output of the HP, then it's getting an IP address from the Westell & your connection should be working. Can you ping the DNS? 68.237.161.12 Can you ping google.com ? Can you browse? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

Actually that was not the output of the h5455 but the computer I am now which is hardwired to the 327w. Can you ping the DNS? 68.237.161.12 Request timed out Can you ping google.com ? No Can you browse? No I will place the information in the next note. Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 3.0.3 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 2.0.0.16
