I just got a pocketbook IQ from work, and it isn't allowing me to connect to my home wireless network. It recognizes the network and says that it's secured with WEP, then asks for a WEP hex key. My network, however, uses a password that is not limited to hex, and when I type the actual password in and try to connect, it pauses at "obtaining IP address" for a while and then fails. I've tried manually inserting a WPA network with the same SSID, but my IQ does not recognize that network to be within range.

Apparently my manager tried it on her home network and it worked just fine. Any tips to getting it working for me?
