Hi,

It took me a while too before I managed to surf on the Internet with my Axim 3i BT/WiFi.

What helped me the most was the excellent FAQ available at:

http://wifi.aximsite.com/wifi-faq.html

If I remember correctly, the interface displayed in it is not exactly the same as the one I had, but I managed to connect it to the Internet anyway. :)

You just need to be very careful with the different profiles "Internet" and "Work" that seem to exist by default on the Axim. The names are highly confusing because I actually connect via the Internet from home... using the Work-profile :crooked: (I never managed to make the Internet-one work.)

Moreover I haven't found a way to properly configure the parameters of either profile, but I once had the problem where my Axim always choose by default "Internet" (I actually had to hard-reset it to make it work again.)

Combined with the fact that you can not remove the settings of WiFi-APs you don't want to connect to or can tell it to which AP to connect by default, I came to the conclusion that the WiFi-interface is properly one of the crappiest I've ever seen. (Anybody please feel free to convince me of the opposite!)

Oh and BTW j.verhoosel if you send me a e-mail I can react in Dutch if you prefer. (Don't want to offend people on this forum by using cryptic languages :D )
