It is a unlocked and jailbroken Iphone 2g with firmware 2.2.1 (5H11).

While connecting to wifi, the phone is able to search the available networks, but fails to connect even to a unsecured n/w. The signal bars too dont light up. Same wifi n/w is accessible on a laptop.

1) Is it necessary to have a SIM ( active or inactive) in the iphone to make the wifi work ?
2) What settings need to be done under DHCP, BootIP and Static ? Should'nt the settings be identified by the phone automatically, on a unsecured wifi , as it happens on a laptop.
