When I place my new Axim x51v on the cradle, after a few seconds, I receive the following error:

Pocket PC Networking
Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.

I changed several things originally trying to get my wireless network to work. Finally, I got it working. But I suspect something that I changed that didn't need changing is now causing this error.

Further, I think I remember one of the network adapters already having an IP address in "Use a specific IP address". I didn't want to make any changes, but unfortunately there is no cancel button on those screens. When I hit "OK", it told me the IP address was invalid (maybe because it wasn't on the cradle at the time???) So I changed it to "Use server assigned IP address" just to get out of the screen. Perhaps I need to changed this setting back? But I don't remember exactly which adapter it was, nor do I have any way of figuring out what the IP was.

Does this ring any bells?
