    It took me longer than I expected to transfer files to my iPAQs. I hope
    it will be easier for you (with a more recent software install), but do
    allow some time for this.

    If you also run into trouble loading files, here are a few more things to
    try:

    - Make sure again you are in managed mode.

    - Run "ifconfig eth0" and check the IP address. If it starts with
    192.168, this is a self-assigned IP address; no one else will be able to
    see your iPAQ. Your mission is get a DHCP address assigned to the iPAQ.

    - Try switching to adhoc mode and back to managed mode again.

    - If this doesn't work, try ejecting the network card using the icon in
    the taskbar. Then physically eject the card using the nearby button and
    put it back in.

    - You can also check to make sure dhcpcd is running ("ps ax | grep dhcp").
    If not, type "dhcpcd eth0" or reboot.

    In the end, I had the best luck by rebooting, switching to adhoc mode,
    then switching to managed mode and going from there.

    Good luck!

    Cheers,
    Janet
