WiFi Connection does not see the internet

[henningdj370]

I have this problem with my Inc2 and my home wifi.   I have a Linksys/Cisco E1000 router supplying my wireless and wired networking at home; it is a standard set up with a WPA Personal2 shared key authentication.    I set my Inc2 to connect with the home network, and it reports it is connecting, getting an IP address and connected messages in sequence.  If I look on the router itself, it reports the mac addres of the phone as being connected.  But any attempt by the phone to get to the world goes nowhere.  Now I do not have any problems connecting other devices:  laptops, tvs, dvd players all connect and get to the internet.  The router supplies the DNS settings, and I presume the phone is setting the router as the gateway (router IP is 192.168.1.1, surprise).  but the phone just returns site not available.  (Even for the Google page).  Other apps have reported site not available messages when they try to run with wifi at home is connected. 

Now I have had success at open sites (eg. Wendy's, Panera Bread,  that sort of place) connecting and getting access to the world.  But I have not way to find out what the settings of the phone are when it 'connects' to my wifi to try to find out what the problem is. 

Can anyone give me a clue how to find out what piece is broken here?  It is only my android phone that connects in this 'half-baked' way...like I said, everything else ( 3 laptops, a tv, a dvd player, an Xbox) all connect fine.

Try rebooting router and cell phone and allow the the ip addresses to be renewed...
