OK, this sounds like a good step in the right direction. I'll try this tonight when I get home and post the results here. Thanks again, dozment.

To test for web capability you could try this from a command line:

telnet www.blackberryforums.com 80

You will either get an error message saying something about not being able to find or connect to the server or you will get a blank screen. If you get a blank screen you have a connection on the port that should allow you to browse. If that works I would start looking at it as a browser issue.
