Can't connect to saved WiFi network

Greetings,

At my office, I had an un-secured, non-broadcast network, SSID "Guest".

Before going to my office the first time after receiving my RAZR MAXX, I set

up a new network, SSID "Guest" and saved it. At my office, the RAZR would

not connect to my Guest network. In the router, I turned "broadcast" on but

the RAZR still would not connect. I tapped "forget" on the saved Guest

network and rescanned; the phone sees "Guest" but when I tap connect, the

network name reverts to "Guest saved" and the RAZR will not connect. I can

connect to my home WiFi network with the RAZR and other devices can connect

to my Guest network at the office. I'm guessing the problem lies in not

being able to "forget" the saved "Guest" network connection. I also tried

re-configuring the saved Guest network on the RAZR to "Static IP" but it

won't let me save it. Any help here?

OK, I got connected to my Guest network. I have MAC filtering turned on; I was under the mistaken impression that MAC filtering only pertained to the secured SSID; I was wrong. MAC filtering applies to both SSIDs (secured and un-secured) on this router, maybe all routers, I need to investigate this. I am a little perplexed, however, as to why "forgetting" a network doesn't remove it as a "saved" network connection.
