Missing SYN packet outbound across firewall

I'm in the process of changing my broadband (does 512Kb count? - I'm shifting to an Options Global Surfer II), and couldn't get the X51V to connect out through the new box using wireless. I stumbled across the error in the logs - when trying to make an outbound connection through the firewall on the box, it gets blocked by the stateful packet inspection because a SYN packet wasn't sent first. Any ideas? If I can't solve this I will have to maintain TWO wireless networks, one for my PC's and another just for the Axim. I might be able to disable the outbound check in the firewall, but there's nothing obvious in the setup...

O.K. - not the Axim's fault. Looks like DHCP on the new box isn't working for me. The only device that connects happily is my Vista Laptop... Xp and Windows Mobile both fail to get DNS addresses.... and the XP box also trips the 'missing SYN' packet message.
