When the WiFi board is powered up it will not identify itself with the ip address you have obtained during your initial testing of the board and will not use the password needed to handshake with your router unless it is in the auto mode.

what ip address and port # should i use for auto mode,the same that i used for wifi card network setting ip

There was a step in the documentation downloaded from the website for the initial setup of the USB WiFi that had you type in a command to obtain the ip address your router assigned when it first discovers the WiFi board. The port assigned is 8090. The ip to use is the same one that you sent the ping command to.

Ok several days of trying and here is where i am at. My new WIFI came in(USB-TTL module was bad on old one) all drivers loader and with help of this POST I did this setup

SETUP LINK get to setup auto mode and here is what i get

0.0.0.0 stays connected to router
192.168.1.1 cycles every 10 seconds
192.168.1.139 does not connect
i can ping fine when connected to router.

a free virtual serial port thanks @robotmaker
virtual serial port
but won't connect with any settings i put in server address and yes every thing is all set to 9600.
also set port forward 192.168.1.139 to port 8090

Don't know where to go from here,wish i was smarter  *stress*

WHAT wifi board are you using

I've only seen the last few posts and not read the instructions for the wifi board and this is purely assumptions but shouldn't it be set to server not client? What happens then?

I'd also put a timeout in there, 120 should be fine but up it if you feel you need to.
