Axim 51v Wireless Connection

Hi.
I have a Dell Axim 51v with VM5 and a Speed Touch 570 router with 128-bit WEP encription. Using the Dell WLAN Utility, I can see my router but somehow I do not manage to connect to it. I would like to e.g. connect to the Internet and to other computers on my LAN (via ActiveSync ?).
Regards,
Gudni

Gudni,
Have you tried to connect with your encryption turned off? Make sure that your WEP key is exactly the same on your AX and on your router. Also, make sure that you do NOT have MAC ADDRESS FILTERING enabled on your router. If it is you will be able to see your router from your AX, but you won't be able to connect because with MAF enabled you have to list the MAC addresses of the devices you allow to connect to your router. And to connect to other computers on your network via your router you will need a program such as POCKET LAN on your AX. Good luck.
