This is making me nuts. I have active sync working with
wifi (HP5555) and Linksys wrt54g. But then I cannot
connect to the internet or a pop3 account without going
back into network card, set up and changing the wifi
setting to "Internet". Then can do the above, but to
sync then i have to go back and change it to "work".
Isn't there a better way?
