I did it! I figured it out with the WRT54GS

Start here

Do step one, then 14, then 2 or 3 and it sould work. After you do all that withthe router go to your ipod and you should see your network, and in the password just type in the key you are given in step 14.

No, I get that part. What did you have to change/do to make it work?

[Ljp]

ok, I set up security, redid the connect to the internet thing with hte router. Put the security key in the computer, refreshed and renewed my ip address. The computer works fine.

I reset network connections on the iphone. turned ipohone on and off. reconnected to the network. It seems to have the right ip address numbers etc. I put in the password. The first time I got it wrong and it told me I typed the wrong password but the second try seemed to work. It says its connected, but I still get the "can't find server" error message.

And now when I try to join another unsecured network in my building its telling me I can't join the network. And it will join mine, but whenit says its joined it doesn't work.

Have you tried the map or th you tube to see if those are working with the WiFi?

[Ljp]

yes. Doesn't work. I *may* have had a connection for a few seconds, but then it was gone again. I've also subsequently tried other steps such as using the dollar sign, using the HEX whatever the other choice is instead of WEP Password. Multiple refreshes and reconnects.

I've been browsing other forums and trying the things suggested. I switched my router from Mixed B and G to G only as per Apple tech. Didn't work.

I rebooted the router again. I swear for one second I thought I had it, but then the page stopped loading halfway through and it was gone.

I can browse to my router though. ie get to the setup pages etc when I type in its IP. It's getting past my router that is the problem.

Now, everything seems to be fine.

I have the same prob,

how do you know if you are in WIFI or using the EDGE?

[Ljp]

Upper left hand corner shows an "E" when using edge and the blue concentric circle triangle thing when on WIFI.

Also, I subsequently switched to WPA security and once again, computer works, reset network connections on iphone re-connected to network, it tells me I'm connected, pages all still refuse to load.

I swear to god I have tried every single thing out there I can find that anyone said worked for them and I'm still getting nothing.

And I am totally connected to the router the whole time every time I try another thing. I can go to it on the iphone, look at various settings etc. It's still just an issue of getting past the router.

Hmm. Google works. Its the only web sight I appear to be able to connect to, but I can search a topic and links pull up. Of course non of the links work when I try to click. But this is an interesting new development.

Never mind. Now google doesn't work either.
