I'm having trouble trying to Sync using my WiFi card in my Axim.

I have the Linksys WCF12 and it seems to be working just fine. I can browse the internet and ping things.

My home network uses a Linksys Access point and a Netgear router. My home network is using a 10.0.0.x addressing scheme.

I believe my Dell Axim is somehow caching old IP addresses for my laptop. When I use vxUtil to lookup the IP address of my laptop, it displays three IP address. 192.168.159.1, 192.168.198.1, and 10.0.0.100. the last address is actually the correct one for my laptop. If I try to ping my laptop by name, it uses the first IP address and I get no response. If I ping 10.0.0.100 by IP address, it will ping fine. Of course when trying to sync with ActiveSync, it uses the name and goes to the wrong IP address.

Does anyone know how to purge old IP addresses out of the DNS cache?

I tried deleting the partnership and recreating it, no luck. I upgraded to ActiveSync 3.7, same problem.
