Pocket PC Networking

I keep getting a pop up message, even whem my wireless Lan utility is switched off saying " Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings"

I don't have any problem connecting WIFI and suspect this is something different. It's only an irritant but can anyone tell me how to stop it?

It's probably your email account trying to connect to check for mail. The settings are in Accounts, Accounts, select the name of your email account, Next your way to the 4th page, Options, Uncheck the box "Connect and check for messages every:" box on the first page.
Note, this will happen whether you've opened the Inbox or not. As an alternative to unchecking the box, I've found it will not try connecting if you make the ActiveSync account active before you close the email or leave your wireless network.
