Friends and otherwise

,
I am not at all new to computers (been involved since the trs-80 model I).
I am not at all new to windows (been doing it since Windows 3.1).

But I do not get the network stack in windows mobile.

I have searched high and low, but not found the info I needed (which is not to say it is not elswhere posted... just not found

).

I have:
Dell Axim x50v
1 gb sd ram
GlobalSat Bluetooth GPS
GlobalSat GPRS Compact-Flash Modem

My home network is wireless and works fine :approve: .
My Axim connects and works fine. I can get to the internet (over wifi) :approve: ...
The Axim wifi connects 'My Work network'
( I still do not get the rational surrounding 'Work' and 'Home' Network': any one have a good explanation?)

What is missing:
I want to have my modem hooked up and automatically dial if the wifi connection is not avalible.
What does happend is that if I set up the modem in my 'Work' network then PIE no longer uses the wifi. If I delete the modem setting then pie sees the wifi again.

If I set the modem up as 'My ISP' then I must constantly switch the setting in 'connections'.

This is worse than the network stack in windows 95..:throwcomp

So: if someone can please post or point me to a clear, rational, description of how the Microsoft Monkey's designed this and how us mere mortals can make this work: I would be very grateful.
