network with pc?

[Dan East]

I've done that using an ethernet card with the iPaq. It should be possible with the USB /Activesync connection, assuming that a TCP/IP connection is what Activesync is based on. The key would be to determine what IP address is assigned to the PC or iPaq in an Activesync connection.<br>CE 2.11 was a lot more flexible in allowing direct cable connections. I assume that TCP/IP over USB (and IR, Serial, etc) can be done with Pocket PC as well.<br><br>Dan East

Is it possible to make the IPAQ EMulator the host?<br><br>Where do ou get the IPAQ emulator?

[Dr. Phat]

thats great!  wow, i wish i had an ipaq...sniff sniff.

[Dr. Phat]

Dan, would it be possible to play quake on ppc against someone on a desktop? like someone with an iPAQ and an iPAQ emulator?  that would be cool, and might be possible.Last modification: Mike Greene - 02/16/01 at 12:56:10

Here is how to enable TCP over USB serial IrdA etc<br>it should work for any PocketPC<br>http://www.tekguru.demon.co.uk/EM500/usbtonet.htm

Mike Greene, no you don't wish you had an Ipaq. You wish you had an @migo. Ipaqs suck. You can only press 1 button at a time, there's dust behind the screen, the units burn out. It's a mess.

Bah. One button at a time Compaq says can be fixed by a ROM or firmware update, just they have to make it, and you can get a new one if theres dust behind the screen. I've also heard of the down button not registereing if being pressed to hard, and no diaganol presses too. I still have no regrets about buying an iPaq. Looks like the iPaq vs @migo wars have started heh.

*runs in, broadsword raised, screaming*<br>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, @MIGOS SUCK, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br>*smashes broadsword against any and all wooden objects and @migos, generating a huge mess as well as many fairly abrasive sounds.*

[Dr. Phat]

You're right Moose, but @migos are ugly.  The bad part about iPAQs are the stupid sleeves- it seems like i'd have to pay an extra $40 just to get memory, which is already expensive.  For me, that's too much.  I'm only 14, and mowing lawns and babysitting don't easily pay $40!

[Moose or Chuck]

999, I didn't start a war or flame. I was informing someone of the negatives of an Ipaq, and that if you really wanted an ARM processor, that @migos are better. There's no one in their right mind that would say otherwise.<br><br>sponge, I don't care what Compaq says. If it can be fixed by firmware then why haven't they yet? And you have to wait 2 weeks while you send them your unit and get a new one, which is VERY inconvenient, in which time you have lost all your data (unless you backedup). All the hassles are not worth it.<br><br>My opinion, if you want to start a war, I'm not listening, because you won't change my opinion anyway, and I won't beable to change yours either. (But I still think Casios are the best out of all of em ).

[Dr. Phat]

Moose: That is CORRECT!

Moose:<br><br>You're entitled to your opinions, but you have to remember, we don't care for "soap box" speeches here on this Board.<br><br>This board is for PocketQuake matters only, not drivel regarding which PDA is best, save all that for hot air Brighthand.<br><br>I'm not out to change your mind, but I am out to change how you treat this Board, and the it's users.  Please refrain from "spouting" any rants regarding PDA superiority, as well as giving the new guys here a Hard Time.  I've noted in another thread you actually call someone "Ignorant" for not following PocketQuake's evolotion. He's obviosly a new user, and should be welcomed in to our little Community, much as you were on your first visit here.  <br>

[Dr. Phat]

999, now you're giving Moose a hard time, he already apologized!  (What about site superiority, is that not an issue?)Last modification: Mike Greene - 02/24/01 at 13:33:55
