Okay, did a harder reset.

Tried everything I knew about my firewall (which was seeing the CF Card and giving it an IP) and my PDA to try to get the WiFi working. I then realized that the only time I was successful in installing the CF card was when I had a clean PDA and a clean PC.

I removed the secondary battery on the Axim and uninstalled ActiveSynch from the PC. I re-installed the software on the PC, then on the Ax. I turned the Ax on/off a time or two until the firewall saw it and gave it an IP. Tadam! Everything worked fine thereafter and all my PIM data re-synchronize nicely.

Beats me as to what was in ActiveSynch or left in the PDA after a hard reset that was preventing the WiFi to work. It's working fine for me, but if somebody knows it may be benifical to post it 'for the record'

Oh... and I can now save my email attachments in the built-in storage! ;)
