After searching the internet, trying a number of suggestions and calling Dell support, I am still not able to get my Axim x51v to connect to the internet while it is docked in the cradle.

I can access the internet at home and other places via the wireless connection, but there is not wireless connection at my office. I would like to be able to connect in order to access Pocket Weather, web based email, etc. The Dell support technician was not that helpful and thought that MS may have disabled the ability to use a desktop computer as a pass through for Windows Mobile 5.0. He also suggested I do a hard reboot, which seemed extreme to me.

I have tried "sharing" my desktop connection and briding the connection between the PPC and my network. All that happened was that ActiveSync wouldn't sync anymore.

Any suggestions???
