Finally got my MP 2000 online using a Lucent WaveLAN silver card. 3 hours it took me to work out the settings! Kudos to the Japanese guy for writing the drivers.

I've a Lucent Wavelan Gold but the driver installed doesn't work. I assume I need to find the Newton Internet kit, but am having difficulty working out where it can be found?

Thanks

Congrats. I've got wifi on my eMate. I agree that the drivers are a major accomplishment. I just wish NIE was a bit better. I've never liked it much.

I wish that the driver was totally free and WEP worked no matter. Also, that little slip that comes up every time I soft reset telling me to register gets annoying.

WPA would be nice, but I don't see it happening. They got it on the airport card, which is a special lucent wavelan.

-digital ;)

I've just installed it. No registering reminder and no WEP problems. Maybe it's been opened up with the latest download?

My 20 meg storage card turned up today, works like a charm. Now I'm just waiting for the bluetooth card [:D] ]'>

i'm having troubles getting it to work on my emate. how do i configure the driver? what files do I need to install from the NIE? and why dont the lights come on on my wavelan.

IIRC I installed all the .pkg files from here:

http://www.unna.org/unnasearch/entry.php?pkey=157

downloaded and installed the wavelan drivers and it eventually worked with a lot of playing around. It's dammed temperamental and a pain in the arse to set up but it does work.

I am considering buying a MP 2000 off eBay. Would you guys recommend it?

Depends on the price really, I love mine and I've managed to pimp it hugely so I'd say yes.

I just bought a Newton 2100, wifi card bronze, etc.

I cannot get on my network. Please help.

OK, make sure you've downloaded the relevant drivers:

Set your base station to WEP or unencrypted.

go into Owner info and set up a new worksite and add all your details, wifi setup etc in there. Then when you use Newtscape (or whatever) to surf, connect using that worksites info.

It can take a while to fine tune so be patient.
