Hey, we got an obscure but very sturdy laptop for our son to use in school, called a Dreamwriter IT. It works and everything, and comes with a lite version of IE (the laptop runs from a Windows CE chip). Problem is, we can’t get it to connect with our home network. It’s supposed to have wireless Internet capabilities, and it’s got an infrared window that makes it look like it does, and it also has an Ethernet port. We haven’t been able to get online via either method.
We tested his machine using the same cable that was hooking one of our desktops to the Web with no problem, and we got no connection.
Has anybody had an experience with any of these Dreamwriter beasties, or with using the limited versions of IE that runs off Windows CE? I’ve tried every button I can think to push (there arent that many on this version of IE), and every setting I can find to change. Anybody got a recommendation?
