I'll assume from your post and the fact that you have WiFi and Bluetooth in an X3 that you're from England.

The X3's here in the States are bereft of Bluetooth-- Damn you Dell! *shakes fists with rage*

So we are working with slightly different hardware but the same OS- minus the Bluetooth Tweaks, so maybe I can help out... not sure how much help, but I'll try.

First, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth by clicking the far right WiFi button- we'll call it the WiFi button from here on out- near the "Home" button. There should be no lights blinking at the top of your Axim, no blue light, no green light.

Reset all your Access Point's configuration. There should be no customizations present! It should be like it was "out of the box". Default SSID, NO WEP ENCRYPTION, SSID broadcast, etc.

TURN OFF ANY AND ALL FIREWALLS ON YOUR COMPUTER(S)

On your Axim, go into the Start Menu > Connections Tab > Connections

Select "My Work Network" and then select the "Advanced" Tab at the bottom of the screen. It will bring you to a page that has 3 grey boxes on the right hand side.

Choose the top one entitled "Select Network". From the drop down box choose "My Work Network", then under it click the "Edit" button. Click "Proxy Settings" and make sure you've selected the box that reads "This network connect to the Internet". Make sure the box to for Proxy Settings is unchecked and greyed out. Click "ok". This will bring you back to the Network Management page again.

Underneath the settings we just configured there is "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect to", choose "My Work Network" from the drop down list then click the "Edit" button underneath that. Click the "Proxy Settings" tab and make sure that you've choose "The network connects to the Internet" and that Proxy settings is greyed out. Click "Ok".

Clear out of all the windows until you get back to the Today Screen. Again go to Start Menu > Settings > Connections Tab >(but this time go to) Wireless Ethernet

This takes you to a screen called "Configure Network Adapters". In the drop down box underneath "My Network Card Connects to:" choose Work, then below that you'll see a list of adapters to choose from.

Choose your WiFi/802.11b adapter-- on my Axim it's "Dell TM1200 WLAN Module" but it could be slightly different for you because you have the "European" verison of the X3i and some of the hardware is different. It's normally the top choice, but again, I'm not sure because our's is slightly different.

Once you've selected the WLAN/WiFi/802.11b adapter you will be brought to a screen that has two choices. Choose "Use server-assigned IP address". Click "Ok" and a screen will pop up telling you that "The next time the adapeter is used it will have the new settings..." Click "Ok"

Now, at this point your router is at "zero configuration"-- it's defualt settings, all firewalls have been disabled, right? If not, DO IT NOW!

Click the WiFi button on your Axim and you'll see the lights flash. Click on the bar icon for WiFi all the way down at the bottom of the Today Screen to the far right. It opens up the WLAN Utility. Click "Site Survey" and you should see your default Access Point/Router listed. If your Axim doesn't automatically connect by itself at this point, click on "Profiles" at the top right corner of the page, then hold your stylus on your network's name and a screen will pop up, choose "Connect".

At this point, you should be connected. Consult www.wifi.aximsite.com to further configure your network, set up WEP Encryption, SSID, etc.

I hope this helped. Let me know how it goes! Cheerios! :)
