I've tried to use the same IP address I assigned to my PDA for my Wi-Fi connection ie 10.0.0.51. I did notice that it tends to get 169.254.2.1 assigned when using "Use server-assigned IP address". You will also notice that in the network connections the network interface gets IP address of 169.254.2.2.

I've now tried 169.254.2.1 and it seems to be working much better.

Thanks for that.

Hi Oleg

It's all working now and I didn't touch a thing! I can now access the Internet from the cradle. I guess I was just being hasty (i.e. incompetent :-). Regarding the Active Sync settings, it's set to "Automatic". I don't really get this business of the two options that I keep seeing - Connects to The Internet or Connects to Work. If i set my wireless networking set up to "Work" I don't see my home network shares and I certainly can't connect to the Internet with that setting... have you any idea how I set my PDA up to be able see both the Internet and my home network? This is the main area of the Axim that I haven't got to grips with yet.

Thanks for your help
