Default TMobile Blues/CFcard

Thanks for the response to my earlier posts. I got the Netgear 802.11b Card on my Axim to get Tmobile at Starbucks. It worked in the morning but not in the afternoon. Has any one experienced drop offs like this? Is it common? Are there workarounds? Thanks in advance!

There is a known problem with T-Mobile's Wi-Fi network and the Pocket PC. The lease time expires even if you are using the PPC. They say they will have a fix some time this month. In the meantime, you need to call their customer service from Starbucks - after you connect with the Pocket PC, and tell them the IP address assigned to your machine. They will adjust the lease time for you, but it will only work at that location and that session.

I've been working with someone from T-Mobile on this problem and I'll try to remember to report back here when I hear that the problem has been fixed.
