Hi,

I have an Axim 51v 624. It arrived with A01 and everything worked except for the occasional WSOD ( White Screen of Death) and that it wouldn't turn on occasionally.

The Axim connected to my secure wireless network (Wlan) via my Netgear dg834g modem with the latest firmware. The network has SSID on, MAC address filtering and a 16 digit key shared.

I decided to update the 51v’s ROM – I did that and after reinstalling all of the applications I tried to connect to my home WLAN network. It failed.

Well, in fact I have determined it is due to the fact the 51v can not obtain an IP address. I can get it connect by specifying an ip address but then it will not get a webpage and drops the connection after a few minutes. PING results are also patching (I am PINGing other computers on the network).

I believe this is a direct result of the ROM update and there is no roll back feature to take it back to the working – but buggy – A01.

Does any one know if there is a solution to this? I have tried to re-install the ROM various times and also tried A04 (a nightmare – very sluggish)

Any word on the next Dell patch for 51v?

Thank you for your help in advance. Sorry for the long - ish post.
