Lose Desktop Wireless connection when Sync Axim via USB Cradle M 11-20-2006

Whenever I dock my Axim X50v to synchronise with my PC, my PC loses its
connection with my wireless network. As soon as I dock the Axim into
the cradle, a network icon appears briefly in the PC system tray (if I
hover the mouse over the icon, it says 'acquiring network address'),
when the icon disappears, my wireless network connection is broken. At
this point, if I check IPCONFIG /ALL, my wireless adapter no longer has
an IP address and the 'network' established by the Axim has an IP
address.

Why does this happen? How can I stop it knocking out my wireless
network (I've got stuff on a network storage device that I want to
synch!)

Can anyone help?

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:

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