Which network card do you have? Different cards have different driver software that presents different configuration and diagnosis options. In your wireless card software you should first ensure the wireless is turned on. If the software gives you the option, try release/renew of the IP. If it doesn't, download MyIpConfig (open source freeware) and you can accomplish the renewal. Ensure the IP is correct for a DHCP handout from your router. Also, double check your encryption key and signal quality.

A soft reset never hurts too.

I don't need to reset mine very often, only with the power on problem that I haven't gotten yet since upgrading to A06. I have a slightly different Axim however.

You might want to look for updated drivers or software for your card from the card manufacturer's site, it seems to be the part with the problem on your device. Also keep up with those oh-so-fun ROM updates. Good luck and enjoy your Pocket PC!
