X51 won't connect using WPA

I have an existing wireless router (a D-Link DI-624) configured using WPA-PSK (TSK) security. I can connect to the router wirelessly from a couple of different notebooks, so I know the router is ok. (In fact I'm connected to it right now via wifi).

However, with my new X51 (WM5) upgraded to ROM version A04, even though I specify the network key etc., it will never connect. I've looked through the AximSite WIFI FAQ and followed its directions, but still can't get connected to my router. If I temporarily turn off my WPA security, my Axim connects immediately. (but I'm not going to leave my router unsecured!)

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, one other question. When configuring my wireless network on my Dell, it has a drop down for "Connects to:" with the choices of Work and The Internet. In most forum messages that I've seen here and other places, selecting Work is suggested, and I'm just curious about what Work versus Internet means (esp. since I'd always be connecting to the internet, not my work...)

Thanks,
Rick

EDIT:

Well I spoke too soon, working now.

rickh: I recommend using the Odyssey Client using the same settings, worked for me.

I don't use WPA so hopefully someone else will help with that question if using Odyssey doesn't help with it.

'Work' should really be thought of as Network in which your PPC is connecting through a router while 'The Internet' default settings are for a direct connection to an ISP (such as through a dialup connection).
