Dead! Canadian Axim deal

[SpeedyVic]

Has Anyone tried this and gotten it to work? Kim has a friend in Canada but I would rather not bother them if this deal is dead.

I put it in the cart without the USB cradle (subtract $29) last night and it worked. You should ask your friend to buy it.

i tried it too... so far no cancellations..

but.. if u go thru dell's site.. the link to customize is gone.. but u can still get to it thru the direct link that apex gave...

one other thing.. if the price is a mistake.. would they still honor it? and how long does it take for them to ship? :)

thx

I've made three seperate orders, only got a 'HOORAY YOU ORDERED!!11' email for the second one.. hmm..

[SpeedyVic]

My price is after all the taxes and shipping. Came out to around $170 Canadian, so right about $118 US.

So many times if I'm a day behind, the links that start out with http://click.linksynergy.com/ don't work as is the case presently with the AXIM deal here. I got tons of connections in Canada, but can't get this deal to work.
Help?

Are you using a banner blocking program or Kazaa lite? You on XP?

Open up your host file with notepad. It should be here:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

It'll start with something like this:


# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Anything at the bottom of that, next to a 127.0.0.1 will be routed to your local computer instead of to the correct address. Just delete the lines with that next to it and it'll work fine.

yup, can't even add on to cart now. clicking "choose axim x5" takes you to the product details page instead. i'd say they've yanked it.
