I'm trying to get networking up so that I can try to run Windows Update.

Using IE on the iPaq, I can load the default page on my server here, which is also the gateway to the internet. That means I'm into my LAN. Unfortunately, though, no matter what URL I use, I always get that same page.

The key seems to be to set up a proxy, but I'm not just sure what I should be using for that. Probably it should be the IP of the server (192.168.1.1). And I bet the reason I'm getting that one page is because it's trying to use port 80 as the proxy. I'm not really sure what else to set though.

UPDATE: Actually, I can get to everything on my server (Regulus). But Regulus is what I get no matter what base URL I use. I'm not getting past Regulus to get out to the internet, and the port is almost certainly the reason why.

UPDATE: Damn. I don't have a clue as to what I'm supposed to do to get networking to work.

I could enable wifi and leech off my anonymous neighbors -- there are something like 15 within reach -- but that's dishonest. And highly insecure.
