Mobility Site - View Single Post - Problem connecting to internet when Axim X51 is in the cradle

Hi,

I have just purchased a Dell Axim X51 with PC Mobile 2005 on it. I use it at work, which is a large state agency and we have all kind of security measures in place with our internet connections. Any way, I can connect to the internet using my desktop computer fine when the Axim is not in the cradle, but if I put it in the cradle and then try to connect to the internet using my desktop computer I get a "Cannot find server of DNS error" message in the browser. If I disconnect the Axim and then open up the browser again, it works fine. Also, if I already have a browser window open and then plug in the Axim, the browser continues to work OK.

Everything works fine on my home computer, and I get the same error at work using both Netscape and Internet Explorer.

Any ideas so that I can speak intelligently to our DIS people here with what may be the problem?

Thanks,

Jim
