SPVM600 wifi connections

[Guest b33k34]

I'm having some trouble connecting via Wifi. It picked up a neighbours unsecured network ok but my own network is giving trouble

I'm using wpa-psk but when i put the password/string in the phone sits at 'connecting' for ages without ever actually getting an IP address.

Any known tricks or bugs on this? my string is of the form ##a########### since another device i used (nokia 770) wouldnt log on with a numeric only string (so theres now a single letter in it).
