Are you saying that you statically assigned it an IP? If so, use vxUtil and the "ping" command to see if you can ping the router. If you can't, which is what your problems suggest, then your iPAQ and router just plain aren't getting along.

At this point one may need to wonder what is happening between the D-Link and the iPAQ. Have you upgraded the D-Link's firmware to the latest version, incidentally? And what kind of wireless setup do you have at work?

I am not shore what is or isnt happening.

Unfortunately, it's hard to debug things remotely. I'm just giving you the standard debugging steps -- there's no guarantee they're going to work. Wi-Fi is often a lot more complicated than people make it out to be at first. The solution may be simple, but I haven't seen it yet.

(By the way, if you wanted to downgrade the iPAQ's ROM, this is what you're looking for. The ROM update is actually semipermanently stored into the unit -- a hard reset is not sufficient, instead a reflash must be done to restore the old version. But only do this if you know for a fact the old ROM worked where the new one doesn't.)

Thank you for all the help.
I am at work and I now am able to get onto the wirelessnetwork now.
Thank you again, I now have to see if I can also get onto my home network.

Thanks again

Cool--so we know the iPAQ itself is behaving properly. Your next bet is to fiddle with the D-Link router. For what it's worth, I've occasionally heard of troubles between D-Link routers and iPAQs. If you've never got it to work at home, first try a firmware update, and if that doesn't go, one has to take a hard look at the router and see if it's the culprit.

Thats the strange thing its always work up to now.

Thank you again for you help again.

Well, as I suggested in the previous post, there is always the last resort of downgrading the firmware. I believe HP upgraded certain aspects of the wireless setup in the 5500, which may or may not have had an effect.
