Help Can't connect to WEP

Hi, i've upgraded my lww to ics..my problem is I cant connect (sometime cant detect) to any wifi with wep protection..it connect without any problem to wpa protected wifi.

Welcome to the forums, rlluf13.

Are you attempting to enter the network via password or hex key? Also, don't laugh, are you absolutely sure you've obtained the correct password/key? ;)

If you have access to the wifi manager or router settings, you can change the security or, if it's set to dhcp, you can force a static IP.

WEP is more vulnerable to hacking/exploiting, thus the fading away of the use of that in favor of WPA/WPA2, etc.
