I was given an old iPAQ yesterday and it's awesome! It's in perfect condition! I just have one problem. I'm connected to the internet over WIFI but when I go into Internet Explorer it gives me an error saying I need to change my connection settings! I think I have to get my ISP's info, but where do I find it?

    A machine that old probably has / had a modem in it. Check to see if IE was previously configured to connect through dialup. If so, you simply change it to a LAN connection. No ISP information needed.

    I had an HP iPAQ (HX2400 or HX2410) and it gave me this error a lot. It would sometimes work, but very rarely. I remember one trick that would usually get it back to working if it gave this error a bunch of times, I would try to connect to a different network and then try my own again.

    One thing to also consider is the Wireless card in there is too old to connect to your router, as I don't think there was a model after the HX4700 which was in 04 or 05. It's probably only Wireless G, B, or maybe something even older. What model iPAQ is it?

    Thanks guys. It has not been previously set up with dial-up so that won't work. It's an HP iPAQ H4150 with wireless B. I think I'll just skip connecting it anyway. It can barely run the web on internet explorer and it's too slow.
