Here are the problems and questions I had connecting my iPhone to my WEP encrypted Wi-Fi network.

How do you know if the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network? (Wi-Fi Status)

At the top left corner of the screen there will be an E when you are connected to the Edge network, and a little fan looking symbol when you are connected via Wi-Fi.

What is this message: “you must connect to a Wi-Fi network to access the iTunes store”?

For me I really wasn’t connected via Wi-Fi when I got this. See above question.

I’m connected via Wi-Fi but no pages will load.

For me I had put in the wrong password. The iPhone doesn’t tell you and pretends it’s connected even with a bad password.

How do I enter the password for a WEP Wi-Fi network?

Very carefully! Use the hex version of your WiFi password and use lowercase for the letters. Keep trying if it’s not connecting. I was positive I had entered correctly, but I guess it’s easy to mess up a key and not realize it on that little keyboard, so I started over many times. Finally on the fifth try it worked.
