Hi, thanks for the response. The AP doesn't have the ability to act as a firewall. I have a firewall on my PC, though my plan is to get a wired router eventually.

Anyway, I have figured out the problem. A friend of mine suggested removing all settings and removing the encryption. I was able to connect. The IP addy previously (I should have noticed this) was a 162.....the Axim was giving itself the IP. It was talking to the AP, but it wasn't quite right when the encryption was on for some reason.

So I started to experiment. I turned back on the encryption and was going to try 64 bit when it hit me. I selected hexidecimal on the Axim instead of alphanumeric and entered in the key instead of the password. It works perfectly at 128 bit encryption with the hexidemical key instead of the alphanumeric. However, one thing I noticed was that when I went back to the profile, it says it has alphanumeric selected.

It looks like the Axim (might be specific to mine or simply a few) has a bug and doesn't really use the alpha OR it may be the my AP and PCMCIA convert it automatically. I can't be sure, but I am happy I am finally working.
