This may be a problem with your router. Routers have a feature where you can control which computers can access the network using their physical address. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address. Every wireless card and network card in the world has their own unique address and is represented in hexadecimal format.
You'll need to notify your router of your phone's MAC address. On my netgear router, I access the router through a browser on a computer connected to it by typing www.routerlogin.net (i think... it varies with different routers) or the gateway ip address e.g. 192.168.1.1. Find the option for MAC address management, in my netgear it's called Access Control (i think) and there should also be an option to add MAC addresses. Add in your phone's mac address and try again.
Your phone's MAC address should be located on the box it came in or under the battery of the phone. The MAC address is in the format 00:A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6:7A.
Good luck

you might have to open up your network connections click start control panel network connections this may vary depending on your operating system look for local area connection if you see a red x or a yellow exclamation or question mark you will need to update or install the driver or it could be firewalled

I am using nokia e63 phone. When i try to connect to a wlan network it asks for preshared key or wep/wpa key . What should i do?

This is the same key that you use to connect your laptop to wlan.

if it is an office network, you will need to ask the network administrator or someone using the wlan for the key.

How can i activate internet on nokia E63?

Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet. To use a WLAN connection, you must create an internet access point (IAP) for the WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet.
Use the WLAN wizard to create an access point
1. You can access the WLAN wizard directly from your home screen's information area. Another way to get to the WLAN wizard is to select Menu > Connectivity > WLAN wizard.
2. If the search finds WLANs, you can create an internet access point - scroll to the connection, select Options > Start web browsing. If you select a secured WLAN, you will be asked to enter the relevant password. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier, SSID).
3. To end the active connection, select the connection > Options and Exit. If you want to define whether you want to use the WLAN or packet data connection when starting to browse the web, you can set it so that the device always asks which access point is to be used.

Set up an access point inquiry when you open the browser
1. Select Options > Settings.
2. Select General > Access point, and from Always ask - You always get to select which access point you use.

Hello we have just bought a n5800 from china its not a nokia it is ok to use in uk as it had the pnone network on the screen and now it has come up as inactive sim what do i have to do

I think the Chinese version doesn't have 3G or WLAN. So you need to have 2G coverage in your area. Other than that, it should be OK. You need a legitimate UK sim card and an account with a mobile phone network. I could be wrong though.

I m havin BSNL ADSL2+ DNA-A211-1 modem..i don know how to connect my laptop wit modem in wifi mode..pls tell how to configure n connect it..modem has ethernet port oly not having usb port..pls suggest some...

Secured Wireless is better than a unsecured one. Configuring a secured wireless network easy.
· First Check it the Wireless is turned on in the modem.
You must see the wireless light glow on.
Wireless LAN (WLAN) should be Enabled before configuring the wireless network
· To make sure, if the WLAN is enabled you can check the WLAN light glow.
· If it is off, then you can be sure that WLAN is disabled.
