What sort of more info do you need......... please elaborate
stuff like info about the wifi network, if you've checked several networks, signal strength, which browser (stock or other browser), have you tried other internet based apps etc...
In the OP you are pretty much saying "hey, i connect to a network and cant open a website, help!" How can anybody deduce the exact problem from that?

Well, bro I've just bought this fone two day back, no not quite comfortable with its functionality and all that stuff.
It would be highly appreciable if you could help me
I would if I could, but with this amount of information all i can suggest is to do a reset.
Please tell me what should i tell you.
I simply connected wifi and it got conected......... it show in the settings that wifi is connected....... now, i trying to access net via the default browser which comes with galaxy 3, but it is not able to open any page. even I tried to connnect gmail it is also not getting connecting.......showing connection error............
this is the real problem
Does this happen on only one wifi network or on more networks? If its only on one it might be a network specific issue, like having to set DNS, or something else. If you have only experienced it on one (even if you only tested on one) what can you tell me about the network; is it your home network, school network, work network or whatever, what kind of protection it has.
Tell me us anything you can about this situation, since we cant conclude what the situation is, is it a problem with the phone, with the wifi network, aliens disrupting your phone to get some laughs out of it. It could be anything!

It happens with all the network, it tried accessing from office as well
I am trying to access wifi from my home network....... tried from office as well......
both the connection are not protected....... though I am that technical for such stuff..... but knows that anyone can access my internet. I just realized this, when one of my friend was browsing net on his laptop from my wifi connection
even my phone says that wifi is connected. but there is problem with browser... none of app is connecting....... not even FB, games or any other application
Before resetting try to reboot the phone.
done, still the same problem
Which rom do you have ? have u flashed any ??
do you have a data connection turned on?
Hi.
I have wi-fi problem too. Just appeared 2 days ago. Wi-fi was working normally at my friends house and after i've selected "forget" on his wi-fi and now i cant connect wi-fi at home. It says "unable to scan networks". In phone status there is Wi-Fi MAC address unavailable. If you have an idea just write it down!
Didnt try factory reset yet, hoping you have better idea!
Sry for bad english..
you have to be roooted:
delete or rename(i suggest an extension change with the date) bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi/
I suggest using root explorer, terminal is also an option.
warning, you will lose saved wifi networks/passwords.
you can open the file to retrieve some passwords.
if you have a titanium backup of system data i think you could restore it with that, not sure about it.
I dont care about passwords, will get them easy.
But i'm not that good using Terminal Emulator. What should i write in it to rename/delete bcm_supp?
EDIT : you are my hero! just installed root explorer (really cool apk), renamed the file above and works fine!
If u ever come to Croatia you got a beer

Yup, root explorer is a nice app, I had to do it via the terminal myself a couple of times, not as pleasant as with root explorer.
P.S. I got a beer, yay! Where in Croatia?
My WiFi was working fine on my Xoom, and now it gets stuck while "obtaining IP address." It says for a split second "remembered" as if it was connected and starts the ongoing circular process of "obtaining IP address" all over again. I saw that galaxy tab users had this same problem and found a resolution by connecting "static" instead of "DHCP." I didn't try that as I honestly don't know how. What I do know is that there are a few devices like my OG droid, my laptop, my mothers' laptop, my xbox 360 that are connected to the same WiFi network. This randomly happened, when I decided to disconnect from WiFi to run a speed test on 3G and I was unable to connect to WiFi ever since. I tried unplugging/plugging the routers, turning the Xoom off and on, and even went so far as to doing a factory reset on the Xoom and I still can't connect. 3G works fine, but I have a 1GB cap and I would rather only use that while I'm on the go, and obviously WiFi is definitely faster. If I can't resolve this, I still have enough time to return this thing. Call me a newb, but I need a little help!
I know you said you did a factory reset, but google stores wifi passwords in the cloud now. Try making the xoom forget the network you're trying to connect to.
My only other thought is that you need to go into your router's configuration and remove the xoom as a remembered device.

How do I get the xoom to forget the network? How do I remove the xoom as a remembered device? Sorry but I really don't know how to do that..
EDIT: I went into settings>privacy>backup and restore> and unchecked "back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to googles servers and was still unable to connect.
I think if you long press on the wifi network it will give you the option to forget it.
As for the router, do you remember setting it up? The settings pages where you set the wifi name and password and such.. it should have a section where it tells you which devices are connected.
I have pressed "forget network" on the xoom several times when trying to connect. As for the router, do I remember setting it up? No, as a matter of fact I didn't set it up. Could I configure this thing from my laptop?

Of course, anything that's connected to the router should let you configure it. It's too complex to explain here, but you need to enter the router through it's IP address and find the configuration.
Find the manual for the router you have and go from there.
I'll try to look into that, any idea as to wtf happened? This is beyond an inconvenience..
I'm having much the same problem. After entering the passphrase it says 'obtaining ip address from....' and thats all. It never connects??? I have tried 'forget' several times and no luck.
I have been able to connect to unsecured wifi with no problems.
Use the free app "wifi static". Config to assign you a static IP on that network only and dhcp on others. Its something within android as I have the same issue in my phone with a few networks but not most.

OK, tried it. NO GO! After entering the passphrase it STILL says 'obtaining ip address from....' I may be doing something wrong with the app since it comes with absolutely NO directions. If this is going to be an issue average folks will take it back!
Have any of you with this issue verified that the DHCP scope on the wireless network is not full or that DHCP is even allowed? The fact it works one place but not another tells me the issue may be with the network and not the device.

I was having the same issues as you originally at first until I reset my router and my Xoom.

I also had this issue, I ended up fixing it by upgrading my router BIOS. the version that was on there was dated 2004 (yikes), and though the most current update was only 2006, it seems to have fixed the problem.
That or the reboot after the update as previous poster said and the update didn't really have anything to do with it, but either way it got fixed.
We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?
Strange thing is I have exactly the same problem, but this only started yesterday. The days before I was able to download several apps via market over wifi, but as of yesterday I can not even see the home screen when on wifi, no problems when on 3G. Tried opening port 5228 TCP and UDP as suggested in an older thread, but that did not work. Something changed at Google?
Update: problem went away by itself 2 days later.
I9000 stock 2.3.3
We have 3 android phones- all with the same problem.. Router is a Netgear WNR2000v3.
Edit-Reset router and the problem continues...
Check the firewall router
There is no firewall A's far A's I know. Just a wireless DSL and a router, and I have not configured any firewall...I reset the router to factory settings and it still won't work....

Try some other wifi area. Is the problem same or not. Maybe it's good to delete APN from settings and let it configure again.
have you tried paying you're cable bill?
seriously.. the phones all connect via other wifi networks just fine. They connect to this router just fine as well.. All internet connectivity is great except anything to do with google's apps.. youtube, maps, gmail, market.. none will work, but google.com on the browser works fine.
I had this problem 2 days ago. I have searched the web a lot for this problem. Now I found 3 solutions that you may wanna try.
1. Clear cache and reset to factory. Don't skip the sign in on google account. Sign in immediately! (had not worked for me though!)
2. Check your firewall settings. Especially, I used my laptop as a hotspot source with virtual wifi router(ht_tp://ww_w.virtualwifirouter.com/). I have tried connectify and virtual router, but they had problems on my laptop, while VWR is simple and effective! (I still couldn't connect to market and youtube at that moment though! Very very frustrated!)
3. I read someone said he tried to set the parameters of his mobile network manually, and it worked for him. I didn't expect much on this method but did give it a try. OMG! It worked! What's worth to notice is that I found that the instruction provided on my operator's website (Orange.fr) is actually a little bit different from the settings the phone automatically loaded.
3.
Hope it works for you guys!
I had same problem but reset of router helped...
You know what, I think it's the operator or google's dirty trick. For no obvious reason, I am blocked out of market again with wifi. I can surf on porn sites with wifi but no luck on market and google's stuff!

One more thing to add: Use static IP address for your wifi connection! Mine was not stable with automatic address!

Try to forward the ports needed for google, 5228 i think, that helped my cappy a little bit, try clearing all your networks, see if that helps. Google around for captivate wifi problems, hundreds of threads with lots of solutions.

I did try forwarded the ports for one of the phone, problem is there are three.. And port forwarding didn't work, neither did resetting the router, or resetting it to defaults, and they all had a static ip...Still no good..
If familiar with wireshark, try setting up on a computer, connecting to market with phone and see what u get. Maybe packets being blocked, hard to say.
Hey guys, I have a problem and I feel like I've tried all I can think of to try and fix it. I got both my wife and I 2 kyocera rises. We activated them and all that and got them setup on our home wifi.
Well, I noticed that my rise will work fine and surf the net fine but at random times I won't be able to access the internet (Or any internet apps) even though it says i'm connected to the network. It will work if I use that connection widget to turn off the wifi and turn it back on but then it does the same thing, says i'm connected but i'm unable to use browsers/apps. The things I have tried was: Restart the phone, Reset the modem and router, factory reset the phone (Thinking it might be an app conflict), change the router channels, and I've even setup the phone for static IP.
Nothing is working and i'm at a stand still. The weird thing though is I believe my wives phone doesnt have this problem. She doesn't surf the web as much as I do but she occasionally goes onto the phone and never complains. If it helps, the router I am using is the Netgear WNR3500L. Does anybody have any ideas I can try out?

Manually set IP information on your phone and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google). Otherwise I'd recommend checking for the latest update on the Wireless router.

I will try that and see how it is. My friend that used to work for sprint told me to disable connections optimizer as well as it has problems.
UPDATE: I thought it was working but it isn't I decided to grab my wifes phone to see if the same was happening to hers at the same time as mine and it does. Well, so it must be something wrong with my network but I'm not sure what. There's no new firmware updates either. The weird thing is, I tried my nexus 7 and my t.v.'s wifi and they both work so something is making the androids not want to stay connected or something.
Androids have this weirdness with Wi-Fi. Try disabling security.
Factory reset the router and set it back up.
I found the problem. It was intact the firmware but there was no firmware updates from net gear but then I remembered my router is open source. So I decided to try flashing tomato onto my router and now my phones aren't dropping the connection. Thanks for the help guys!
Hi guys! I just wnted to ask something.
I rooted my phone with Baidu Root Application, and well, it was rooted.
After my phone was rooted, i can now use gamecih, titanium backup, and any other apps that require root. Here, I still have internet access. After a few days, I don't have internet access anymore. In our laptop, my mother's phone, and my father's phone, and my brother's tablet I have internet access but not on my cellphone.
Before, I got my new phone (Lenovo A396i) I have a Samsung Galaxy Y rooted. I got this same problem too. But, in the Galaxy Y, an expert rooted it, not me. And they installed Superuser in it. I got the same problem too, I connected to our wifi and it doesn't have internet access.
I tried to format my phone, unroot it with SuperSU, downloaded apps that can fix wifi, and rebooted it so many times.
Is this problem normal or not?
What should I do?
Do you have the same problem on other Wifi? (At school, work, ..) or just at home?
It might be a dynamic IP problem, maybe even from your wireless and not your phone.

I don't honestly know. Now, I don't connect to other wifi because there are no open wifi's. But, what if the problem is my smartphone and what should I do? And if the problem is the wifi what should I do too?
If the problem was from the Wifi, usually there is a problem from assigning dynamic IP to your phone. Usually if you're having this problem you'll get "Obtaining IP address" Message on your phone while connected to your WIFI.
You can try to assign a static IP address for your phone as mentioned here. You have to know the range of available IP addresses from your Wifi router though.
Anyway if it's your phone, I suggest try to "Forget Network" and then try to connect again. In worst cases, you can flash a stock ROM, and try a different root method.
