Curve won't connect to the internet via browser/Facebook/etc

Hello, I got my Blackberry Curve 8520 a few days ago, and I've found myself liking it. However, I have a problem. I was at my college yesterday and connected to their WiFi because I don't get service inside the buildings. Everything was fine, but when I left the school, it never connected back to the internet again. I can't send/receive e-mails, I can't use the Facebook Application, and I can't use the browser. My radio app (Slacker Radio) still connects, however. I can't quite figure out what's wrong with it!

 

I have tried the good old "when in doubt, pull it out (battery that is) and it didn't work. I have also tried disabling the WiFi settings, but that didn't work either. I have also tried connecting to my home WiFi as well, but it isn't working on that now. It's very annoying because I have pictures I want to send to people and I wan't to be able to browse the internet if I'm bored.

 

I'm hoping this may be an easy fix, but I am kind of new to this phone. I'm not stupid when it comes to electronics, so maybe someone can provide an answer for me! I appreciate any thoughts/help.

Re: Curve won't connect to the internet via browser/Facebook/etc

My Curve 8330 is doing something similar.  I was having a separate problem with the device media processor being busy so I turned off the connections. When I turned it back on, it wouldn't connect to the BlackBerry Internet Service.
