Wi-Fi Issue on PPC6800 with Windows Mobile 6.1 Upgrade

[musclovr656]

I upgraded my PPC6800 yesterday from Windows Mobile 6.0 to 6.1 . When I did, I lost the Wi-Fi function on my phone. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly previously on 6.0. Now, the phone detects all networks, says it connects to the network I want, but Internet Explorer only gives a vague error message "The page cannot be displayed. Please check the page and try again" (or something like that) on a black page. I do not have or want a data package on my plan, so I use the Wi-Fi when I use the internet. Just so you know, the switch on the side of the phone is on, and the wi-fi tab in the Settings>Connections tab is turned on. I called Alltel today and they couldn't answer why, so I emailed HTC. HTC emailed this response back:
