Hey Neil, thanks a ton for all the help and input! That
only leaves one issue "to boot": the Pass Through
mystery. My Pass Through (when PPC is in cradle, and uses
the PC's internet connection to browse, get email,
download files, etc.) still isn't working. Just to make
sure that I wasn't dreaming about it working in the first
place; I went to my co-worker's machine today, and used
his Axim to connect using Pass Through. Worked just fine
for him. In fact, when I was connected, I went to
windowsmedia.com/mobile and attempted to view those video
clips. It also worked fine for him. I wonder if this
might be terms to have my handheld replaced??? The
ability to view .wma files from my corporate intranet is
something that came very easy using the X3i wirelessly,
and will not be difficult to go without. Damn. Please
let me know if you (or anyone else) has any ideas about
this problem. I most certainly appreciate any feedback.
