Re: Lose Desktop Wireless connection when Sync Axim via USB Cradle

Well-known problem, assuming you have an Intel wireless network adapter in
your PC. Can I presume that you are using WPA or WPA2 with the wireless
connection? Find a thread called "ActiveSync Kills Wireless" in the
archives via GoogleGroups:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...tivesync?hl=en

That contains all of the basic information that is known about the problem
and possible solutions.
