Hi all,

wondered if you might be able to shed some light... :)

I'm using an x51v, and connecting to internet via my wireless router (USR 8046). I have set my axim to a fixed IP address, as it's the only way it will connect to the router. The router is not password protected.

I can connect fine, and signal strength is excellent throughout my home. But, all internet actions are sooooooo slow. Browsing via Opera or IE is painfully slow, and attempting to check my hotmail via pocket MSN is so slow that it times out in most cases.

I have a desktop (wired direct to router) and a laptop (wireless), and browsing is much quicker on both. My ISP is NTL (UK), and download/upload speed is 1Mbps/256kbps.

Also of note: When I set my IP to static (192.168.123.108), the axim initially fails to connect. I need to run Hitchiker once before it will connect. I don't change any settings in Hitchiker; I just connect with it. After that, I can connect with no problems (without Hitchiker). The connection process is quick.

I hope someone can suggest why it it so slow, as it would be nice to have a functional internet on my PDA.

Thanks in advance,

Leeko
