ok, iv tried searching, but i cannot find an answer. here is my problem

im using my new BB Curve 8320, and im trying to get wifi. i dont have a data plan. i connected to my wifi and everything (set up WEP pass) and it now shows connected everytime i view my networks. i have my default browser set to hotspot. i have set it up to what i think is a way to use my wifi but never get switched to edge so i dont get charged without knowing

i have data services OFF
connection pref. WIFI ONLY
mobile network NONE
Network selection mode AUTOMATIC

still when going to the default browser and trying to connect i get "Unable to connect to the internet, please try again. If the problem persists please contact your service provider."

any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

it says im connected in "Available WIFI Networks" but in the top right of the screen it shows WIFI and then beside that there is an antenna icon with OFF beside it. have i turned wifi off by accident when trying to set up the blackberry not to use EDGE?

btw my wifi network that i am connected to is showing a yellow circle with a horizontal white line through it if this helps. Thanks

ip address is showing up as unknown in the dignostics test

What other options do you have listed for browser? I have a slighter older OS, but I have one specifically for wifi.

not quite sure what you mean for 'browser'. like my mobile network options?

do i need to have my router on mac filtering?

No. Go to Options>Advanced>Browser. See what options you have under default browser config.

default browser: Hotspot browser
default WAP browser: WAP Browser (rogers)

200+ viewing and no help

Trying to help...so hotspot and wap are the only two browser options right? Have you tried:
1. Battery pull?
2. An alternative browser like Opera Mini or Bolt?

I re-read your original post. Since you don't have a data plan, I don't think you can be charged if you are just using wifi. That's how it is with Tmobile in the US, so there might be something I don't know about Canadian cell providers.

It seems like you have all the right settings. Not sure why it's not working for you. If you are willing to try, what if you turn on your mobile network, does it work then?
