Default How to enable DHCP on Pocket PC 2003 ???

I just picked up the new iPAQ 5555 unit and cannot get the Wifi to work. I've tried using the IP Dashboard, the vxIPConfig & vxUtil apps. They all say that the DHCP is not enabled. What gives? Anyone have any ideas? I'm a PalmOS user and everyone had told me that the PocketPC is the better platform for corporate use and of course Internet use.

I desparately need some help here.

Under IP Dashboard the DHCP Control states:
Adapter iPAQ USB Wireless Adapter
Status:
Adapter diconnected

When it manages to get any connections the information is useless to connect to my linksys router:

IP Address: 169.254.85.219
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: blank
DHCP Server: 255.255.255.255

Keep in mind that I have 3 servers, 3 workstations, Sony Clie NZ90 PDA and 1 notebook all connecting just fine and dandy to my linksys router. Only the iPAQ 5555 is giving me grief.
