Ok so I bought one of these D-Link DCF-650W for my IPAQ which is running PPC 2002. However I can't seem to get this to access the internet?

Setup:
Desktop with internet connection sharing enabled. (IP 192.168.0.1)
DWL-1000AP Wireless Access Point connected to Desktop. (IP 192.168.0.61)
Ipaq 3635 with DCF-650W Installed. (IP 192.168.0.254)
All on subnet 255.255.255.0 and the default wireless client/network setting.

My Ipaq is setup for infrastructure mode and has a good signal.
Additionally, I can ping from the desktop to the ipaq and access point and from the Ipaq to the desktop and access point.

However, when I open pocket IE and try and goto any url (www.yahoo.com for example) I get one of two errors based on the 'Settings' 'Connections' tab of the ipaq:

When 'connect to the internet' is setup through 'The Internet' I get the error "The page your are looking for cannot be found"
When 'connect to the internet' is setup through 'Work' I get the error "Unable to connect with current settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings"

I have not changed either of those connection options. How do I get this to work? My IPAQ is on the network as far as I can tell, but can't access the internet?

How do I specify that I want my internet settings to access the net through the wireless card?
