What did you upgrade on your network? We really need to know the specific parameters of your new network before we can help you.

Julie I think you will find that he means he Upgraded to an X30, nothing on his network has changed.

I believe the X30 should be able to connect to WEP, check that you have entered the passcode correctly.

Have a look at Ikehikers excellent Wifi Guide for more help.

Did you look at the WiFi Guide, in particular, the troubleshooting part of the WM03SE section?

yes i did it doesn't help me because i don't get any errors and I known what to do that would normally make it connect its just that it won't

Well, the most common failure to connect problem is having the device set to connect to 'The Internet' when most people have better success with the 'Work' setting. This is described in the Guide.

Also, when you say you are sure you've entered the WEP key correctly, you are using the hexadecimal format (26 characters for 128-bit encryption, 10 characters for 64-bit) and not a password?

Try using the Odyssey client.
