Ok question...

At the office, we have an unsecured wireless signal I use with my laptop to get online. Works wonderfully with the laptop.

I try to get on with the Axim...it sees it, lists it, says "connecting" but then it doesnt and tries to connect with something that's not even there like my house signal which is 30 miles away! It goes thru the list it has, going over and over...but there is a signal right there in the office, it won't hook up when the laptop does just fine.

Why does it keep going thru the settings and doesnt hook up with the signal at the office and be done with it?

On the road, in my bus, my laptop gets online often, I do alot of sitting around on layovers, I'm a charter schoolbus driver, do trips only, no home~school routes anyways...... it finds and hook up with signals all the time, and some I know where they are. The Ax doesnt hook up with these others when it'll pop up the little message to pick a signal, I'll pick one, unsecured and then it doesn't do anything. The signal bars are still white with no signal. I don't get it...laptop's great, Ax's not. I hoped I wouldn't hafta take the laptop everywhere just to get online, so I got the Ax....now it's like, it doesnt like to hook up to those open signals.
