I am getting errors connecting to WiFi networks with my iPod Touch. This had affected a Touch I got a couple months ago. Initially, the WiFi worked perfectly on my WEP network and several others. Then, one day, I couldn't get any WiFi. After standard troubleshooting steps (forget network & re-enter, reset network settings, restart, restore iPod, etc.), it still wouldn't work. I returned the iPod and bought another. At first it also worked perfectly on any WiFi network I joined.
But now I'm affected by the same issue. This time, I went to the router settings and saw that the router (a Linksys) had assigned the iPod Touch an IP address. Yet, in the settings pane on th iPod Touch, the iPod had no IP address. I just ahead and reset all network settings, forget the network, reset the update and still nothing. And this was recently after updating to 1.1.2 firmware.
Given that this has now happened to iPod Touches, I'm concerned that it may be an issue that is affecting others. Any suggestions? The error I get in Safari is "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server."

I believe the answer lies with your DNS address needing the same address as your router. Try clearing the address in the DNS field in wifi settings and put in whatever the address is that is in your router field.
I kept getting Safari can't find a server until I tried doing this this morning and my Ipod's wifi is working fine now.

It sounds like the iPod Touch isn't really that great yet. I thought about getting one because I don't want to pay for data charges on the iphone but the price makes me not want to. If it doesn't work like it should all the time I'll hold off. I'd like more memory too. 16gb is not really enough to play a bunch of movies but whatever.

The iPod Touch is ready for prime time and at 16GB that is more than enough storage. I have one movie, three short movies, and part of Season 3 of Lost on mine plus a music and photo library. The battery goes down after watching a couple episodes but that is only to be expected. I have the problem with WiFi also and will try your suggestion.

I got home, and now it works on my wireless network and one of my neighbors (Netgear), but not the other (Linksys). Probably an issue with how the Touch is interacting w/ Linksys routers. Good thing those aren't very popular. *rolls eyes*
