I've spent the last four hours fighting with my Axim x51v (A12). Up until this morning, it had no problem connecting to my router. I was in the process of starting up Slingbox mobile on my handheld for the first time, when all of a sudden, my network connection arrows starting moving. I stopped the program, tried soft resetting the axim, nada. It is stuck on "connecting". I tried restoring my Axim to a previous version (before I had installed the Slingbox software), it still wouldn't connect. I tried deleting the network and putting back in the passkey, it still wouldn't connect. It now will only connect to my network in OPEN (unencrypted) mode, and it used to work just fine. ARGH!

Any ideas?

For the record, my router is a DI-624, revision firmware 4.03.

Please, anybody? Some help or insight would be appreciated. I've tried rebooting the router, my Axim is still stuck "connecting". I am able to connect my computer to the router, and I'm able to connect my Axim to my other router at home, which uses WEP, and yet I cannot connect my Axim to my work router which uses WPA-PSK, and like I said, up until a few days ago, I had no problem doing this. I have tried deleting the network settings and reentering the passkey. Do I need to remove the network settings from the registry, and if so, what keys should I delete?

HELP PLEASE!!!

If you don't mind using Odyssey to connect to your router using WPA-PSK, here are some instructions I put together a while back.

Tried the recent Dell update?

Axim x51v WiFi Driver Update

It says explicitly that there are WPA-PSK fixes in there.

Yeah, I just applied it. It makes no difference. The fixes seem to apply once you are already connected, but for some reason, my Axim no longer connects to my router, and like I said, it used to connect, which is driving me crazy!!!

Does anybody know how to clean up the network keys in the registry, as that is supposedly the one thing that gets really messed up over time.
