Ipaq Wi-Fi Settings Recovery

[Dixie]

I have access to my neighbours broadband connection by wireless card on my laptop so I used the same settings for my PDA which was working fine until I tried to connect to another wireless connection in the vicinity when I have messed it up. Is there a way of recovering just the wi-fi settings from a backup file ?
The reason I require the settings is because it was more by luck than judgement that I got it to work in the first place.

Thanks

Does next door know you are doing this, if not its illegal, if so knock on the door and find out what wep settings are in use, I am typing this in my local pub running on their connection - but they gave permission and its free :P - mike

Yes he does know, we are good friends.
I do have the settings from my laptop but it was a struggle to get it to work anyway. I am obviously missing something but I was hoping to just restore the settings to make life a bit easier.

In which case get the WEP settings from next door and re-load them, unless you have a back-up of the software and configuration of the PDA - if you don't have the back-up then its the only way - once you get it working back the machine up to the SD card then its an easy re-install of everything - Mike
