After reading your posts below I cant really give you an answer but I would
suggest turning off all firewalls and assign a static IP (including gateway
and DNS) to the iPAQ network adapter. On the ipaq be sure you have
connection mgr set to "Work". This is why youre getting a dial popup, its
currently set to ISP. It's been awhile since I used PPC2002 so the terms
IIRC are a bit different than "work" and "ISP". Once you can ping outside
your local net then you can re-enable and troubleshoot ZA and/or your
Router.

Don't think the XDA will be much different for this case though. You still
need to take the same/similar steps to use its wi-fi. In other words if the
issue is DHCP not vending the correct IP's or you have a firewall blocking
access then you'll still be in the same boat.
