Hey everyone,

When I need to connect to a wireless network, I need to enter my credentials either in Safari or when I try to connect a popup will show up and I enter them there.

In either case, autofill is grayed out. I DO have autofill enabled in Safari via the Settings menu, but it is constantly grayed out for me.

Can anyone help with this?

I've found autofill to be a little weird also.

After you log in once, it's supposed to remember it next time, and auto connect without the need to go through safari.

I.E. at work, now I've had it log in to the web access page once, it logs into the wireless network automatically much like it would any normal WiFi router.

However, there are a number of WiFi zones running on essentially the same network here, and the Touch will only connect to one of them through autofill. I think the other zones just confuse it, since it recognizes the network, but not the access point.

Either way, usually it learns after a bit of faffing around. If I happen to stumble over the exact sequence of steps to make it happy, I'll post back.
