Has anyone got this to work and if so how did you do it ?

Did you have to change the settings on the I-Pod screen or set an exception rule on the Netgear page ?

Many Thanks

You might be better asking in the sky broadband forum

You'd just need to type the WEP into the iPod when it asks for it?

What is it that's not working, and what errors are you seeing? I don't know anything about your ISP or router, but I had no trouble getting my Touch online via wi-fi, it spotted my network and listed it with a padlock icon, I had to put in my WPA password and that was all, very easy and didn't have to put any ISP-specific settings in at all. Have you had many other devices connected via wi-fi, and if so did you have to do anything special for those?

Thanks for all the replies and advice. I also posted on the Sky Broadband forum but didn't get much luck.

Well after 10 hours of trying different settings, losing my Wireless Internet Connection and having to reconfigure everything I have finally got things working. This is what I learnt :

I was getting the error message of "unable to connect". I was using the passkey that comes with your Sky Broadband unit and is on the panel below the router.

After some advice on another forum I found I needed to add the I-Pod using the wireless setting set-up access list on the Netgear set-up page and also to use one of the passkeys that feature of the Netgear page rather than the initial one supplied by Sky.

It's taken quite a bit of re-starting of applications and units but it has suddenly come to life.

Thanks again for your help.
