iPAQ 4350 not resolving names with DNS



My wife has a legacy iPAQ 4350 running Windows for Pocket PC 2003.
Its networking card seemed to be working normally and DNS resolution
was working until yesterday. Yesterday morning I changed my router
arrangement to accommodate a machine running N protocol WiFi
encryption. Basically I added a second router configured as a passive
switch (with its own WEP-encrypted wireless network) and reset my main
router as a separate WPA2 encrypted network. This all works fine. My
single N-protocol machine is happy on its network and my Pocket PC as
well as a legacy laptop are happy on the WEP network. My wife's
legacy iPAQ 4350, however, doesn't seem to be connecting to DNS. I've
double checked several times and the iPAQ wireless card DNS IP is
definitely set to the same IP as the other WEP-network devices, namely
the IP of the WEP-network router (both routers being configured for
DNS pass-through).

I have tried removing the battery from the iPAQ and running the
“welcome" utility to reset things but no luck. The iPAQ absolutely
refuses to connect to any website. IE keeps complaining that “The
page you are looking for cannot be found.”

I have actually seen this behavior in the past with the iPAQ in
question but have usually been able to make it go away by removing the
battery and running the “welcome” utility. No such luck this time
though!

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help!
