Very odd wi-fi behavior... I also had SSID broadcast disabled and WEP encryption. I was able to connect last night (I received by X3i yesterday), but not at all today. Laptop fine (so I think my Linksys WAP is still okay).
Here's the odd part. I temporarily checked the "Automatically connect to non-preferred networks" box, and tried to get an 'ad hoc' network going at work today to my laptop (no, did not get that working). Also tried loading PocketHosts.
Since I got back, the X3i wants to connect to my neighbor's network. Keeps getting an IP in his range, not mine, and nothing I do seems to be able to change the X3i's mind. Soft reset, etc. I have tried to "Remove Settings" from their wireless network configuration, but the WLAN Utility will not allow me to do so. Not sure what that command is for
. And, I still can not connect to my network (less than 10 feet from WAP).
I have enabled SSID broadcast (temporarily), but so far, still can't connect. Will post back if I resolve it. I fear attempting the 'ad hoc' may have dones something bad. A hard reset may be required. Unreal -- I've reset this new Dell more times in my first 24 hours than I reset my Palm Vx in a year. Of course, my Palm Vx didn't have Wi-Fi or any of the other X3i goodies...
