Default HELLLLP!!! Can't get iPAQ h5555 unit to log onto net!

Well I posted a request on July 15 regarding my online problems (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...ic.php?t=15009) and I thank Sooner Al & JT3 but neither of their suggestions seemed to work at all.

Although getting online while in the cradle is seamless (browsing and email) and even connecting with the built-in bluetooth is flawless (to my gps, printer, bt usb computer dongle) I still cannot get online with solely the integrated wireless lan card.

Tried hard resets at least a dozen times, tried the trick of removing the batter for 20+ seconds, tried the various software product suggestions (Pocket Hosts, vxIPConfig, vxUtil) and even tried from online tutorials to reconfigure my Linksys WAP11 access point but to no avail. My notebook, Sony Clie NZ90 and desktop unit still are able to get online but still not the iPAQ.

Under vxUtil Info the following is listed:

vnetusba1 - iPAQ USB Wireless Adapter (is this correct?)
IP Address: 169.254.152.163 (don't know where this is picked up from)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (shouldn't this be something like 255.255.255.0?)
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (shouldn't this have my ISP's gateway?)
Primary DNS: Blank (definitly need this)
Secondary DNS: Blank (definitly need this)
Primary WINS: blank (don't need this)
Secondary WINS: blank (don't need this)
DHCP Server: 255.255.255.255 (this is definetly wrong)
Lease Obtained: Mon Aug 26 05:20:17 3568 (GMT)
Lease Obtained: Mon Aug 26 05:20:17 3568 (GMT)
(Lease dates are odd I am in PST and the year looks like 1565 years in the future, what gives with that?)

I desparately need some help here I picked this up to compliment what my Sony Clie NZ90 simply does not do well with. I've decided to use my Sony Clie NZ90 with Palm OS v5 for business and the HP iPAQ h5555 Pocket PC 2003 for entertainment and traveling. They both have their pluses and negatives. See here for my indepth comparison I just posted here: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...ic.php?t=15201

With that said can anyone PLEASE help me stay in the Pocket PC 2003 camp? Please.
