recyclor, had the same problem and anxiously waited for somebody to come up with more ideas. It always said I was connected to my network, strong signal, everything seem right but I always got that same message, "Unable to obtain server assign IP address. Frustrated me to no end. I had even tried manually putting in the IP address, subnet mask and all that. Still no go, same message. With nothing to lose, I also put in the DNS server info, and Alternate DNS info, bingo, I connected right away. I suggest you try it, may work for you also.

Note: I should mention that at first I turned off all security on my router to make it easier to connect. Once I was connected a couple of times, I reset my router with all security and then put all the info into the Axim, still connected immediately. All is good now.
