Any advice. My battery went completely dead and I had to reset my pocketpc.
I have the 5555 and I've connected it to my shared wep, but the light stays
amber, and even though it reads connected, I can't surf using my modem.
I had no issues with it before but now I can't go online with it anymore.
Well I can uses other peoples connections, but not my own network.

Leave it connected to the charger, it may take several hours for LiION
to come to life after being dead flat.

Sounds like a WEP issue to me. Make sure the WEP key on both the iPAQ 5555 and your wireless access
point matches. Use a hex key on the iPAQ...

The WEP key does match. I'm using a Microsoft router, but it still won't
connect. I didn't have this problem until my PPC went completely dead and I
had to recharge the battery. I've updated my ROM, and can surf using other
connections (mean other wireless in my neighborhood).

Any other advice?

Thanks
