athena use a usb-rj45 line to surf throught the net cable - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading

hello,everybody:
I bought a plannex ue-200tx-g usb-10/100baset adapter,
link:http://www.planex.co.jp/company/release/20071214_ue-200txgp.shtml
and
http://www.planex.co.jp/product/game/ue-200tx-g/
(I bought this)
and finally, I can use a net cable to surf the web !!!! Wonderful.
There are two ways I had tried to connect the adapter with athena.
1. Use a 4-in-1 cable. I connect the net cable with athena through a 4-in-1 cable, and it works.
2. Use a dock station. Of course, it works too.
There are two type of adapters on the plannex webpage, one is ue-200tx-g(I bought this), the other is ue-200txgp. There is no difference between these two adapters. The ue-200txgp is comprised one ue-200tx-g adapter, one Y-usb cable and one ac-adapter.
So if you want to buy the usb-10/100baset adapter, i advice you just buy a ue-200tx-g, because without the Y-usb cable and the ac-adapter, athena can surf net well. But in advance, you should have a 4-in-1 cable or a dock station.
BTW, you should install a driver first. Here is the link : http://www.planex.co.jp/support/download/usb/ue-200tx-g.shtml
if you have other type of usb-10/100baset adapter (for Palmchen, you may try this), try this driver.
Use a net cable to surf net on athena is faster than other ways(3g,wi-fi,activsync..).

hello,every:
Does any know that usb-rj45 cable?? One end is usb, the other is rj-45. it has the function like a network card.
does anybody use such a cable on athena to see if it works??
if it works, we can use athena to surf the web by network cable.
the following link is one kind of such cables:

The link is to some Japan or so page. I have a small difficulty to read it, but anyway, it is probably impossible, because each of such USB device would need a driver to be installed in our WM6 device. I am sure, the device has a driver but for standard PC (Windows or Linuks or whatever), but they probably did not provide drivers for Windows Mobile 6, so no joy.

if you found the chinese web page hard to read, plz refer the following ebay webpage:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-TO-LAN-RJ45...kparms=72:552|39:1|65:12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
it is the same thing as on the chinese webpage.

---

I initially had the same thought - the lack of a driver would be a problem. Looking at the English site, I'm sure of it now:
"Plug and play installation in Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP"
But not WM.

I bought it and tried to use it at my ameo.
after connetion on USB the Ameo found a new device, but no device-driver could I offer.
nothing was accepted.
If a devicedriver available, I could make the next test...

Does anyone know the pda "sharp em one", here is the link:
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=572285&extra=page=1&area=&page=7
I noticed that the "em one" can use a usb-10base/100base-T adapter to surf the web. Here is the link of the two types of the adapter:
http://www.planex.co.jp/company/release/20071214_ue-200txgp.shtml3
http://buffalo.jp/products/catalog/item/l/lua-ktx/index.html
The two adapters use realtek RTL-8150 chip.
It's not easy for me to buy such adapters.
If someone would like to test if the athena could use usb-10base-T adapter to surf the web, plz consider what I give above. Maybe these kinds of adapter could be used on athena.

---

If anybody has any trouble with this way of surfing web, plz post ur question on the thread.

---

Glad to see there is a solution that works. Ironically, I could have used this last week. I was at a resort which did not have wifi (?!), only ethernet in each room. So I was out of luck...

yes - I have a question:
I've bought a USB-LAN adapter like a DM9601. ( DaviCom-DM9601 )
I've found driver for WINCE 30
http://www.driverskit.com/freedownload/Net_Card/Davicom/DM9601_Network_1_90_02_0312_WHQL/17594.html
works fine on my desktop / Notebook with WindowsXP (and WindowsXP driver).
But If I try to install it on my Ameo, connect over USB cable, the Ameo pop up with the question : where are the driver.
I've told him the location, the name, anything else, but the Ameo couldn't catch the driver and didn't use the USB-LAN Adapter.
I don't know what's not in the right way. Could you help ?

Besides UE-200tx-g, I don't know whether other USB-LAN adapter can be used on athena.
I have a question, had you installed the driver I provide above?? Link:
http://www.planex.co.jp/support/download/usb/ue-200tx-g.shtml
(In the window mobile section,click download, then click the [同意] button, and it will download automatically, filename:UE-200tx-g_v1003.zip).
This driver is for UE-200tx-g, I don't know if the driver only support for specific adapter or can be used on all kinds of USB-LAN adapter. Because I don't have other kind of adapter, I can't try. But you can try this driver with your DM9601. If the driver doesn't work for your DM9601, maybe you should buy a UE-200tx-g.

okay - I've tried.
download the cab file - I can't speak/read japan ;-) - with your instructions, very good.
Installed cab file on Ameo and tried to use it; connect the USB Network on Ameo.
Ameo installation windows popped up and ask for a device driver (cab file is not compatible with DM9601).
okay, if not compatible, I have the installation files of the UE-200tx-g adapter.
Now I'm trying to buy an adapter (I'm from germany).
Found it in Amazon.com and try to order one. But Amazon told me, he want deliver it only in USA or Kanada, not to germany.
Now I'm searching over google about an UE-200tx-g adapter. Found many adapter in jp/tw7 and so on - but that's I couldn't read.
What a pity - I have a USB-Lan Adapter, not working on PDA and ready device-driver and couldn't buy it over web ...
could anybody help me ?

First I will say thanks for your good ideas and recommendations. really good. I didn't know that things.
If the web site's are in english, it would be better for me to understand it.
But most of the web sites are in japan, taiwan or chinese , and I couldn't understand, what they are want to inform me. (and yes, I had tried to translate it...)
I will get a couple of inform about your recommendation's of the japan-auction-agency (good is to handle all payments over paypal). Later than I will test than with an order ...
I will hope I make nothing wrong ...
good question : why are so many interesting electronic things are first in Japan/China/Taiwan, and why so difficult to get them... really bad ...

Thanks to pigeonking's direction of using rj45 network adapter on x7500. His suggestion have been tried out on my machine. I bought two eu-200tx-g adapter this week, one was bought on 3C shopping center, the other one was bought on PCI-Direct website, that is 628 NT dollars. So I still have one brand new eu-200tx-g adapter, do you want it?
If you want, we can discuss the price and way to deliver. I live in Taiwan.

maybe it is just me, but, why use a RJ45 to USB adapter to browse the net, when you already have Wi Fi and 3G , and Bluetooth for the internet?
even in a high secured office with no Wi Fi, you can still do 3G
and if you are in a secured office, chances are you wont be able to get onto the network anyways using the RJ45
the only way this will work is in an unsecured network, for you to sign on, and not get access denied to the router/switch
and probably too cheap to not want to use the 3G / Edge to go online.
i wouldn't want to carry so much extra stuff with me to be able to go online using a RJ45 when i go out with my phone
