N80 Orange setting up WLAN Access

Hi, this is my first post I have had a good look through the forums but cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.

My N80 arrived today, from Orange. Most things seem to work well, however, I do not seem to be able to set up to access my wifi network at home.

If I go into Menu>Connect>Conn. mgr>Availabe WLAN I can see my network under Options I try to "Define access point' but get an error message Define access pts. for secure WLAN networks in 'Access Points in conn. settings".

I then go to Menu>Tools>Settings>Connection>Access Points and add a new Access Point

I can assign a connection name, I cannot change the 'Data bearer' from 'Packet data' to 'Wireless LAN'. However I can set an 'Access point name', 'User name', 'Password', 'Authentication', 'Homepage' and under 'Options', Advanced Menu, the Network type, assign a phone IP, DNS etc

I assume not being able to change the Data bearer from Packet to Wireless LAN is a big problem. But whatever I do, I seem unable to change it, or to connect to the WLAN.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Many thanks.
