Dear Group,

I have big issues getting my Dell Axim x50v (WM2003SE) connected to my
wireless network.

I have a number of other wireless stations within range, and when I turn on
wifi, the unit offers up at least six other stations (as well as mine), one
of which appears to be connecting staright away (its a BThomehub) I think
this is one of the wifi hotspots provided by BT, but I dont want to connect
to this, I want to connect to my own network. I have been plying around
with this for quite a long time.

Today I decided to remove all the security from my network (temporarily) to
see if it would connect without encryption. It still failed to connect
and went to the BTHomeHub instead.

My question is:

Is there a way to wipe out all the existing profiles, so I can start a new
and try to get this working again? I am fast giving up on ideas, and dont
know what to try next.

I have also just tried a recommended utility called Wi-Fi Companion v2.9
from Socket Communication, but this appears to do nothing apart from provide
an interface to the actual settings in WM2003SE.

It might be worth mentioning that Odyssey Client has been removed from this
pocket PC as I was advised it wasn't needed a few years ago.

Incidently, the unit worked fine until all these extra wifi points have
appeared over the last few years.

Can anyone help me please?

I have never found any way to put real limits on WiFi connections
(other than access points) on any version of Windows Mobile. Even when
I explicitly attempt to connect to a specific access point, if the
connection fails, the system will try other connections. This seems
like a serious security problem, and really bugs me. But I've given
up.

In contrast, a utility that came with my 5 year laptop lets me specify
a profile that connects only to a specific MAC address. Not very hard
to set up. Very easy to use. Makes me even more upset with WiFi on
Windows Mobile.
