WEP Wi-Fi issue

Hey guys I have a big problem: I am at my friend, he has a router secured with WEP, I connected to it but it says Limited Connectivity and I can't access the internet. I happened everytime whenI connect to a WEP router. The problem is, that only his dad knows the admin password for router settings, so we can't change the security to WPA or Open. I have no wi-fi at home. Please help me make WEP Wi-Fi work!

there might be an issue with your phone, I'm testing it right now.

try the long way

settings -> wireless & networks -> wifi settings -> add wifi network -> type the SSID and select WEP enter the password and see if that does it

Same thing, still limited connectivity. I've seen this problem also on Xperia X8.

The problem is that I resofted my phone (checked for updates and installed same software), and still the same thing.

Yes, everything excepting WEP. WPA and Open routers are working fine
