I just got a Palm TX, and am trying to access websites. I was able to connect using the Office Wi-fi, but it get a message for every site that it can't access it. I don't really know anything about the Blazer web browser. Can anyone hrlp me?
 
Update- I had no problem getting to a website from the coffeehouse down the street, but I can't get to any website from the wireless access at work, so I'm wondering if the problem is the way the router is set up. It will connect, but when I try to go to a site, I get this message:
The page you requested cannot be displayed. "The website you are trying to access may be temporarily unavailable or the URL you entered cannot be resolved. Please check that you correctly entered the URL or try again later."
It's pretty generic, so not much help. I did register my Palm MAC address in the router, so it's letting me connect, but something seems to be preventing me from getting to any website. I also can't find anything on using the Blazer browser.

Have you tried network basics ?
Unfortunately, there's not too many traceroute programs for the Palm, but you could try Geek Tools.
For Ping, there's Mergic Ping or Ping 1.0d

Both can be found at palmgear.com, and are free.

See if you can ping other machines on your network, and out of your network.

Good judgement comes from experience,
which usually comes from bad judgement..
 
I put Mergic Ping on it ( and a few other things while I was in PalmGear's freeware) and tried to ping the server, the router and loopback, all of which timed out.

I finally solved this by putting in a WEP key in our router and in the Palm, then it connected correctly.
