**Solved** "Can't connect to server" problem

If you connect to your wireless network and cannot use safari or youtube, i know how to solve your problem.

-Open settings, select "wi-fi"

- Select "DNS", then scroll over all the way to the left and delete the first set of numbers

- Try safari again, and see if it works

- If not, delete the next set of "dns" numbers

- Continue until it works, (it did for me!)

I have the same problem. I have not tried what many of you have said as I have no idea about what half the stuff you are talking about.

I live in Australia. Have a wireless connection. The network comes up but when i try to look through Itunes it says 'Can't connect to server". Whereabouts do you find your DSN and all that (there are no numbers for the DSN etc... only network & IP address). I mean is it in the data that we first use when we hook up our wirless internet or can you find it on your computer (cos you see we've lost all the packaging and written info & passwords we first got).

Muc help needed!

Hi eveyone again.

Iv'e hopefully found all the data I need for someone to help me. When I go to the Wi-Fi settings on the touch only IP and Subnet Mask details come up (which come up as 169.254.211.37 and 255.255.0.0 respectfully. All the rest are blank.

After looking on my computer through the ipconfig/all data on my computer I got the following:

Description: Intel(R) PRO/WIRELESS 3945ABG Network
Physical Address: 00-1B-77-3B-F2-59
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
Link-local IPv6: fe80::6ce:a3d8:23ad%11
IPv4 Address: 10.0.0.3 (preferred)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.138
DHCP Server: 10.0.0.138
DHCPv6 IAID: 285219703
DNS Servers: 10.0.0.138

I have a Siemens SpeedStream 6520 Wireless ADSL Gateway Router and have found the Wi-Fi WEP key Code, Wi-Fi SID (which is SpeedStream8993 although this comes up on the ipod as well as the internet sign on the ipod), Wi-Fi pin and our usename and password which I presume is for the internet (even though we never use it. i think its more our email internet account for bigpond - our server)

I hope this is all the information needed in order for someone to help. As you can tell I'm not very tech savy. Also if smeone is kind enough to reply and help could you tell me whether to have the settings on DHCP (which I've been doing), BootP or Static as well as whether the HTTP Proxy needs to be on 'Off', "Manual' or 'Auto' (all of which I have tried, entering the required data).

Looking forward to hearing your answers
