Can you manually force a connection? (Where it says "available," tap-n-hold,
choose "connect."

If that doesn't work, you mibght check the router's settings to see if it
disallows 802.11b connections (for increeased speed, the router might be
set to "G" only. You want "B&G" or "compatiblity mode."

Failing that, it just might be a compatibility "bug." I used to use a D-
Link router that just plain refused to connect with my Dell Axim X5. I
downloaded new firmware for the router from D-Link's website and never had
the problem again. You might try and see if there's new firmware available
for your router.
