Have Wi-Fi connection but no IP address (Status: IP address no longer valid)

Dear experts,
I can connect my Pearl 9100 to my home Wi-Fi network but I cannot connect to the internet. For example, when I run the the Browser I get the message "Unable to connet to the Internet..." .
I can see on my router that Pearl has been assigned an IP address vi DHCP (just as one would expect).
From "Manage Connections / Wi-Fi Options / from Saved Wi-Fi Profiles I select my profile / Wi-Fi Tools / Wi-Fi Diagnostics" I see that "Local IP Adress:" is blank and this "Status: IP address no longer valid"
I deduce that something is wrong on the Pearl because it is not accepting the TCP/IP configuration served to it by my DHCP server (my wireless router).
Does anyone have any recommendations to help me fix this?
Here are some other details to consider:
All other wireless devices work on my home Wi-Fi network including a Blackberry Bold 9780 running OS 6.
My Pearl 9100 has OS v.5.0.0.748. This is an OS updated from Blackberry specific to my carrier (Bell) from the OS 5.0.0.604 which came on the device.
I do not have a data plan on my Blackberry (you may think this strange, but hey, that's the way I want it). The Bold 9780 that did connect to my home Wi-Fi network did not have a data plan either. The absence of a data plan should not be a problem because all I need connection to the Internet for is the occassional use of the Browser when Wi-Fi is available.
Thank you in advance for any tips, tricks or pointers.
Solved!

Hey - I found the solution:
Options / Mobile Network / Data Services - change from "OFF" to "ON"
I guess I was mistaken in thinking that "Data Services" only needed to be turned on if you have a Data Plan.
Maybe this will help others...

Itunes says I don't have an internet connection but I can access the internet. I turned my firewall off. How do I get onto itunes store

I can't access my itunes store, it says I don't have an internet connection but I do. I tried updating to the newest version of itunes, turned off my firewall, checked to make sure itunes was allowed in my internet options. what else can i do?

Hello bigblue8
Check out the following articles for troubleshooting access to the iTunes Store. The first one will probably get you started enough to get it taken care of. If it does not the follow up article should definitely solve it for you.

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

"The reply" as in the Rescue email to reset your Security Questions? If so, then you will have to contact iTunes Support directly to get them reset:

Doublechecking, Jensen. What's the precise text of your error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

Reset everything.. did you do this?
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad.

I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

when you say there is an Internet connection have you used safari? Or does the phone just display a data connection (i.e. 3g/4g)? You could try a couple of things if it is the latter 1. turn off cellular data than turn it back on. 2. turn on airplane mode and turn it back off. I type these assuming you've tried resetting network connections.

I have a network connection but I can't get email or a webpage?

Phone and messages is a carrier issue. Sprint needs to check your account to make sure it is set up correctly. If everything looks good on their end, then do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try it.
