Problem solved. I finally got through to Dell tech support and the rep "Q" was very a helpful and knowledgable young lady. Went through several things that you folks suggested to no avail. Finally she resorted to a hard reset. After going through the initialization process of a hard reset she wanted the wireless turned off.
1. Set the My Network Card to the Internet,
2. Select the Dell Axim x50 adapter
3. Select "Use server assigned IP address."
4. OK everything out to Settings Connection tab
Turn wireless back on and repeat steps 1 - 4
I connected almost immediately. It was nice to see after fighting it for so long.
I didn't have to change anything on the Netgear WGT634 router but will now try to re-enable WEP security.
Since it was a new machine I didn't lose any data that I couldn't replace after the hard reset but beware. I know that I made this harder than it really has to be and suspect others are doing the same. It's hard not knowing for sure if it's a PDA or router problem but my network, consisting of a desktop and wireless laptop, worked OK.
I hope this helps some one else.
Thanks
Mike
