Steve,

I'm using the DWL-650+ with Windows XP Pro on the laptop. The Netgear
CF
card is in the iPaq and the Orinoco card is in the ePods.

In all three cases, it was nothing more than following the instructions
and installing the supplied drivers to get everything up and running
(which was a surprise with the ePods, at least).

You really do want to be running TCP/IP on your network. You need
TCP/IP
for Internet access. IPX offers no practical advantages over TCP/IP
unless you're running Novell Netware. NetBEUI isn't routable and can't
be used for Internet access. It's lightweight and OK for simple file
sharing, but little else. IIRC, XP doesn't even support NetBEUI
anymore.

I'd suggest that stage one is to install TCP/IP on all your machines
and
uninstall IPX and NetBEUI. All of my machines have static IP addresses
>from
for such a small number of machines and it's one less thing to go
wrong.

I now have a combined wired/wireless network with 5 wired machines and
3
wireless ones, running WinCE 2.12, Pocket PC, 98, NT4, Win2K and XP Pro
with no problems whatsoever.

Regards,
Steve
