Welcome to Pocket PC Addict sa.reid! I'm sorry to hear that you're having to deal with this problem, but I have a couple suggestions that might help. First check to see if your firewall is currently on, this might be the problem. Secondly, if that isn't the problem, it's possible it could be the IE program. There are a lot of web browsers for Pocket PCs out there and
Opera is a very popular one... fast and reliable. Hope this helps!
