Re: Live Search on Verizon DSL WIFI WEP

I swear that I am not making this up. I am absolutely sure an internet connection exists on the XV6700. Every device on my home WEP-secured network, 3 laptops, printer, printer server, range expander, including the XV6700, has accepted the WEP key and connects perfectly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Live Search program many times. Done many hard/soft resets and hoped that the updates would fix the problem. Sometimes, after reinstallation, it will actually do a few searches and then start the EV-DO connection by itself, so I don't know whether it worked from the WIFI or the EV-DO. I was hoping that cooking the Live Search in the WM6 ROM would help but it didn't. I've only seen reference to this problem a couple of times in various forums so I don't think it is a widespread program bug.

Believe me, on the pay as you go data plan, I am very attuned to the WIFI, phone, and data connection icons. The XV6700 indicates that it is connected to the WIFI network as well as my VZW bill. Live Search is the only issue. It is not that big of a deal for me to disable the WEP on my router but was just wondering what would cause it not to connect. Hoping for an easy fix. How could I have messed up on enabling security??
