I have a PC and a b/g westell router (from verizon). What am i doing wrong and how do i find the correct Router # to enter in the phone. I have connected both with regular WEP password and the HEX style. Thats not the problem. Oh, and when i do connect to the network no numbers come up automatically for the IP, Subnet, Router, and DNS.

Please help.

Hey Hill,
I know it's of no help - but I have exactly the same problem as you. The iPhone somehow is not receiving or processing the DHCP lease - hence you never get the IP address information. The WiFi is a bit scatterbrain as well - it may be a fault in the phone - take it back for a replacement maybe?
