Hi guys, been on this for 4 days now & pulling out my hair.
Got a new sony ericsson w995, phones it's great but i connect it to the router, than I try to connect to a web site and all i get is connection error message.

my phone always worked spot on with my wifi, my N95, C905 and LG renoir.

in your router settings how many connections is allowed? because if its only set to one and your on your pc or lappy then this could be the problem

yes the router is picking up the phone, but the phone doen't connect to any websites.

I got the same problem with my W995.
My wife's one is the same.
They are both on 3 network.
They connect to the router but not the inetrnet.
I have spent hours talking to 3 about the issue.They have even exchanged the phones for me but still no joy.

My mate's got the same phone on Orange, but his connets no problem.

The only thing that I can think of is that 3 does not support it.

Please, if anyone out there can help!!

are you sure the phone isnt branded and configured to use the providers tinternet rather than yours at home via the wifi router, the reason I ask is my nephew has a Nokia 5300 branded as Vodafone and I have one but not branded, I can connect to tinternet via wifi yet when ever my nephew tries he gets the gateway not found

I suspect the providers want you to use their service and thus making more money rather than using your wifi at home, make sense in a way, but very cheeky of them.
