Cradled "Networking"
When you place your Axim in the cradle, and the cable is plugged into your PC, ActiveSync establishes a network connection that uses your PC as a router.
You can see this happen by using the ADVANCED tab in the Dell Wireless Utility program, which displays your IP address.
While wireless, you have an address that is assigned by a device on the wireless network. When cradled, your Axim is assigned another address, as it is assumed that you will use the attached PC for your Interent connection.
I am of course, assuming that the PC to which your Axim is cradled has an Interent connection.
If you have a software/personal firewall, it may be blocking your Axim from getting the address it is expecting. Try disabling the firewall long enought to see if this fixes the problem. If so, you will need to explicitly allow the ActiveSync applications to act as a server. Remember that Windows XP SP2 now includes a firewall that disables most services by default.
You should see Microsoft's ActiveSync troubleshooting guide to assist you with enabling the correct programs.
If disabling the firewall or other Internet security program does not fix the problem, tell us, and we can help you try something else.
Good Luck! :approve:
