Windows Mobile on W2K3



Hello,

We run windows Server 2003 standard, which is the DHCP server in our
network. We try connecting our Windows Mobile 5 based pocket PC via an
router/Wireless Access Point to our network, but this unfortunately does not
seem to work. De pocket PC can *see* the AP, signal strength is perfect, it
connects but cannot obtain an IP address from the server. In fact it does
not get an IP address at all, and after a few minutes there's an error
message. Note that the Wireless AP only acts as AP, hence all routing and
DHCP services are disabled on that device (in fact we have tried two access
points a Trendnet and a Linksys, same problem via both). When connecting
(wireless) laptops they get an IP address from the DHCP server (W2K3)
without any problem. Is there a setting or anything else needed in order to
let W2K3 attribute an IP address to a Windows Mobile device ? FYI the
network adapter in the Pocket PC is an SDIO Wireless Adapter.

All help appreciated.
Perry
