Click on the Wi-Fi button on the status bar. Select
Setup/Scan, select your network from the list then click on
Edit then
Configure. Click
Details then
Advanced. On this Advanced screen the
IP Address and
DNS Server address must match what your router at home hands out. Usually these settings are set to "Automatic" by default. If your router uses DHCP then this should be good. And I assume that with no config changes at other locations (but still being able to connect), then
your router does not do strait-up Dynamic DHCP addressing.
If your router assigns a static IP address based on the MAC address of the device, then you have to add that MAC info into your router (or WAP) and the static IP address into the handheld.
But, if your router does
Static DHCP instead, then you may need to also add the MAC address of your device into the router's table but you leave the settings in the handheld to be "Automatic"..
There are numerious ways to configure the router (based on brand) so keep in mind that along with Static DHCP, the router could also be configured to limit the number of addresses available for device connections. Meaning for example, if the router has an address range of two addresses available and both addresses have been leased to two other connected PCs then there is no address available for the handheld device, so you won't get any layer 3 (network) connectivity; at best you will only get layer 2 (link layer).
I'm guessing you have a mismatch between the router and the handheld. You can read some more details
here . If you set up the router, review the manual and make the changes necessary. If this was set up for you, you might need to get a six pack of beer and make a phone call.
To get the MAC address from your TX, click the
Wi-Fi button on the status bar and select
Prefs.... Finally select
Info. The MAC address is listed as six hexadecimal digits.
