urgent: HTTP over Wifi connection problem

The issue of http connection over wifi has been raised so many times and most guys comment that once there is a wifi connection the midlet is unaware of what kind of connection it is using. . I did try to make an http connection from a midlet to a web server to access a text file, that works fine on the emulator (J2ME WTK). However, when i deploy the midlet on a palm (T5) PDA and try to connect to the server through wifi (the LAN works fine), the connection is not established (unable to get the url). So, i need some one who has tried this stuf sucessfully to tell me what should i do to tackle this problem.

Thanks,
