Windows 7 wireless adapter? Other workaround?

Submitted by lebenszusammenhang on Wed, 09/30/2009 - 01:01

I've been running Lifebalance at home on a Mac, at work on windows, and wirelessly between the two on my IPhone 3G. Wonderful, until things fell apart at work. Got a new computer running Windows 7. Great! Oops, no wireless card, so tried an old, tried-and-true wireless adapter. Guess what, no drivers available for 7. Tried a little Internet research to find an adaptor that would work with 7, ended up with a Medialink MWN-USB54G. Drivers work fine! Oops, synced with IPhone exactly once and never worked again. If I can't sync with Windows 7, I'm screwed. Help? Anybody?

Interesting that it worked once. That would tend to suggest that there is hope! I like that. ;-)

Let us make sure that we understand the situation.

Is it correct that your work has both a "wired" and "wireless" network?

The problem is that if your computer is only on the wired network, it can't be seen on the wireless network by the iPhone?

Your intention was to get the computer onto the wireless network?

You may find it helpful to use the manual server configuration that we added to the latest iPhone version of the software, rather than trying to put the desktop computer onto the wifi network. This is assuming that the wifi and wired network are connected at some level, and that configurations in between allow it.

Here's a link to that idea:

I'm sure other folks may chime in here with what they do.

Best wishes,
