iPhone WI-FI (Still Having Problems)

Ok guys, this is extremely strange...
I have EVERYTHING working on my iPhone, 1.1.3 ziphone unlocked gprs etc etc etc ...
BUT, my wifi is just not working ... i have taking encryption off my modem/router it detects it, just no matter what i try it says i cannot connect to the network, i have tried this on a couple of different routers but its the same no matter what ...

What could the issue be? would be nice having it work so i dont need to use my gprs to download prorams at an extremely slow rate

Hope some one out there can help me

is your network showing
settings > general > network> wifi > (network name)> do you have signal strength showing? > do you have an ip address on the iphone?
reset the phone, reboot it.

Any chance that your Router's are all using MAC filtering? (I know it is a long shot but it's possible)

If you don't know what Mac Filtering is you don't have it. So no worries.

First up - do you get asked for the password for your router when you try to connect to your wireless network?

No, you don't need gprs to be enabled.

169.x.x.x is a result of no dhcp service being contactable.

So you are right on that part.

Check to see if your router's DHCP service is enabled (I'm assuming it isn't)
