2 questions,
Do you need to set up the router ? Or do you need to set up your ppc ?

prob both,

i can browse my desktop pc wirelessly using resco file explorer but i can not use the internet.

so it still could be both, i still can not connect to activesync, probably if i can do this i would be able to connect to the net as i can when the blue angle is docked

You might want to down load vxUtil from http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html with this util you can most likely find out what is wrong. You should not need activesync to connect to the Internet, **IF** your router connects to the Internet.

To activesync with the PC you will need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the PC. Then you'll need to be able to PING your PC by name. And both the PC and the PPC need to be using the same DHCP server, and in the same network.

As you can reach your desktop, have you set both settings to "Work" or some form of this on your PPC, and checked just "This network connects to the Internet" under proxxy settings for the work connection? Each version of the PPC OS seems to change the names here just a bit.
