System admin?? It's my own wifi at my home... I hope this gets resolved in an update...

last night when I got home I did a "restore from backup". that didn't fix the problem and my wifi at home wouldn't connect. so today I just did a complete restore as a new phone, and still doesn't connect to the wifi at work. it asked for the wep key, but just says "unable to connect to network". lovely......

awwwe crap! now documents to go will not work because it has to have wifi to transfer the files.

I am having the same problem at the hospital. My 3GS has connected to the WiFi there without issue since purchase until 5 days ago. Now nothing. Other folks 3GSs are connecting without problems. This is a real issue for me since I need the Internet frequently to access patient info, clinical data, etc.

Try a reset of Network settings.

If that doesn't work then:

When your in the area of your works wifi- head into your settings, then into wifi, click on the name of your works wifi, scroll to the bottom and tap 'Forget Network'

Then... once that's done, search for wifi networks and attempt to reconnect to it and see if that works.

I've had an iPhone since shortly after the original iDay. I've jailbroken, unlocked, restored, blended, pureed, and generally wreaked havoc on it since the beginning which is why something as simple as connecting to the WiFi network which has been an effortless experience both with my V1 and initially with this absolutely unmolested 3GS is so frustrating. If I'd messed with it in some way I'd have no excuse.

This isn't my first rodeo and I've done everything short of pulling the circuit board out, hitting it with some solder and re-inserting it.

I'll shut up then

Oh how I agree. If you goto apple's community forum about iphone networking, you would be amazed how many people are having the same problem. Search the internet, and it is posted numerous times how many people are having trouble with this. WAKE UP APPLE!

But since they won't really acknowledge that their ipods were getting so hot to cause burns, I don't think they are going to make a world wide announcement and apology for bad software.

I am very seriously thinking of getting a Blackberry. I can't afford to go and buy another phone. anyone want to buy an Iphone 3g?

I have already had to have one Iphone replaced after a month and a half, (they did send a new one though not refurbished) and it didn't take long at all, guess I could do it again.

Nope, no need to shut up. Just illustrating that the very simple task of getting my phone hooked up to WiFi not working is making me ready to pull my hair out!

I was joking mate

But seriously.. If you find a solution then let us know, it's good to have these tips/tricks stored somewhere to help people with the same problems/issues.

Hope you sort it.
