Okay, I upgraded the 5450 to PC2003. I installed the WLAN Firmware Update
(100.5.39 dated 31 Jul 03) and the WLAN Driver Update (3.2.4.133 dated 19
May 2004).

I'm still not able to connect. The iPaq detects the SID and say I'm
connected. But, when I attempt to access either my local file server or the
web, I get the "Cannot Connect" dialog. It says "Cannot connect with
current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap
Settings."

Under the "Network Management" page, I have both combo boxes set to "My Work
Network". On the "Configure Wireless Networks" page, "Networks to access"
is set to "All available". "Automatically connect to non-preferred
networks" is checked.

I currently have WEP disabled on the access point, along with MAC filtering.
The AP has that latest firmware installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks for you help,

Richard Rosenheim
