Ok new question guys...I have my network setup in my house where you need a password to get on and you have to manually set the ip address...I was wondering how do you set the ip address in the droid as I cannot fully connect to my network...

I really don't recall having to set up the IP address. Droid just searched for wifi and found our network, we put in the password and that was pretty much it.

No, that's his question. His WiFi is setup for static IP, not DHCP, and he needs to know how to manually assign an address to his phone.
OP, I'm researching, back with your shortly.
Got it. Go to network settings, hit the soft menu key, and go to Advanced. In there, you can enable static IP and all your network info.
Hope that's what you wanted.
correct...it helps keep my printer from changing ip addresses every blue moon and wondering why the freakin thing wont print....Thanks alot...
Cool I might have to try that if I turn DHCP back on one day. I was also wondering is it possible to connect to my PC and download music straight to my phone or is that not available with the droid yet...
Is there any advantage to doing the static IP thing over DHCP? Is it a security issue? How do you do the static IP thing, do you have to manually enter the ip address every time you connect? I'm clueless when it comes to these things, and ironically my daughter just bought and hooked a router yesterday, first one we've ever had. I'm a little nervous about the whole security thing! How do I know for sure my network is secure? Lot of questions, eh?
