I have a netgear CF on my Axim X5, is there a way to do, so just my Axim pick up the signal? Uh...an easy way...you step by step...Thank you...

Since WiFi is a RF signal you can't just setup your wireless router so that only devices will see it. All of the WiFi devices will see it. The trick is setting up your WiFi router so that only certain devices can connect to it once the signal is detected. By simple means you can enable WEP encryption on your wireless router. I would recommend 128 bit encryption. Once it is enabled on your device then you can configure your PPC to authenticate on your wireless router connection and then you are good to go. I would definately recommend taking a look at ikehikers WiFi Howto.
