Yes... another thread about connecting my ipod touch to my internet connection via wifi (none of the others seemed to help me)...

I am currently using a 128-bit WEP encryption on my network. When attempting to connect to it I have tried everything: I have typed in the hex password multiple times: I have typed it in normally, with a dollar sign in front (it was suggested somewhere) and with all the letters in capitals (it MIGHT have worked). I always get the error of "Unable to join the network..."

When I type in my password (the ACII code part) I seem to get slightly further as I am able to get outside of the network screen. However, when I open up Safari (or any other internet application) I get the same error.

I have tried resetting the network settings (was suggested somewhere else on this site) but that did not work either. I am, however, able to connect when I disable all encryption on my router, however I do not want to have an unsecured connection.

I HAVE to use WEP encryption due to the other things on my network...

Thanks in advance...
