X51v-Wi-Fi Disappeared

When I activate my wireless by pressing on left side button of Axim, all that activates is Bluetooth. I get no blinkong green light, only blue blinking light. Turning off BT in programs does not help. When I try Settings-Connections-Network Cards, I get a list of cards which include Dell Wireless, but no list of available networks as I was used to seeing. It has been some time since I have tried to use the wi-fi feature but my work has changed again so that I need to again use this feature. I am at a loss, can anyone help? Thanks in advance. If you need to email me let me know and I'll supply an address.

Does Start/Settings/Connections give you access to the Dell
WLAN Utility?
If it does turn wifi on there then press side button and see if it
responds with OFF pop up.
As for connections your settings should be WORK.

Just to explain the process,
the button on the side only turns on or off the last one that was on.
If BT was the last one you used it will be BT, if it was Wifi then it will be wifi. or if it was both then it will be both.

As Big says, go to the wifi utility and hit the big button that says Turn on.

Well it appears you have the basic procedure in hand however
the only way I can get "configure network adapters" to come
up is by NOT turning the wifi ON.
All I can say is that make sure you do turn on,check for the green
led flashing then hit settings you should get a list of wifi signals
your Ax hears then when you touch and hold on any of those
an option box popup should give you the connect/remove settings
choice.

At the bottom of the "configure networks" screen
you should have ALL AVAILIABLE.
Basically it maybe the way you things configured
you don't find the signal you have set up so it
wants you to make a choice.

Mine works so set it as mine is set.

well on my the "configure networks" it gives two types of choices one is "my network connects to": work or internet, and the other is "Tap an adapter to modify settings:NE200 Compatible Ethernet Driver, Remote-NDIS Host, PPTP NDSIWAN Miniport, Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Miniport, L2TP NDISWAN Miniport, AsyncMac NDISWAN Miniport, Dell Axim X51 WLAN Wireless Adapter... these are the options .... I dont have that option "ALL AVAILABLE"

It's funny because it woked fine before ... Thank's

You set it to "WORK".
Then at the bottom tap "Wireless"
This brings you back to the 2nd screen.
The "All Availiable" is at the bottom of the 2nd screen.
