Im having a problem with my N95. For some reason when i try to browse the web using the built in web-browser it keeps saying "WLAN: Pre-shared key authentication failed"

Now iv never had this problem before, i used to type an address in, it would prompt me which WLAN to use, i would select it, it would ask me for the network key if i hadnt already put it in, then it would continue to load the web-page.

Now, the twist, it will let me connect to my WLAN and use MSN live messenge, but everytime i want to use MSN Live messenger, it asks me for the network key, now usually once you have put the key in once, it wont ask for it again? Yet it does not seem to work at all with the web browser, it just keeps saying "WLAN: Pre-shared key authentication failed"

I did try re-setting the phone to factory settings. But this did not work.

Any other ideas?

Im using firmware V 12.0.013
RM-159

The WLAN is using WPA encryption.

I had a similar freak issue that went when I changed the SSID.

In Web, if you go to Options > Settings > General > Access point, and make sure that's set to 'Always ask', then you'll get back the dialog that asks which access point to connect to.. though I can't see how it would solve the problem. I guess you could do it though.
