yeah, still not working =[
i dont know if it has anything to do with the fact that i am connecting to a wifi that is provided by my cable service provider at home [optimum/timewarner/cablevision, etc]

Try a* 228. I had to do that after the install as I had no data of 3g or 1x and it fixed that.

I just installed the FroYo update today and I'm having the same issue. I can connect to my WiFi network, and I can get an IP address, but I can't actually transfer any data.

Is it possible that there's a corrupt update.zip floating around the Internet? Here's the info for the version I used:

Size: 70845746 bytes
MD5: d37022aa1aaacd8432cd09094922d149
SHA1: 50f002cd7cea48c21dc6f2a5f442f4e0baf24700

I guess my next step will be to restore the phone to stock Android 2.1 using SBF and try again. Please let me know if you discover anything.

Okay, I found that while I'm still unable to connect to my home WiFi (which is secured with WPA), I am able to connect to the network at work (which is "secured" with WEP). So if you're using WPA, try switching to WEP or disabling encryption entirely and see what happens.

i cant connect to my school's enterprise network at all... it just goes through a loop of obtaining an ip address, failing, and starting over. my girlfriend with the dinc on 2.2 has the same issue.

Isn't there the rumor that the official Froyo update had been postponed because of Enterprise issues? If so, maybe that is the problem you are seeing... and if that its true then I wonder if that means you are out of luck until the official 2.2, or another leak. All just speculation on my part..sorry to not actually be of assistance.

Ok, I think I figured it out. This build of FroYo does not like WPA with AES. You need to use TKIP instead on your wifi router. (I also had problems when trying AES+TKIP mode, so make sure you're only using TKIP. Unfortunately this does make the wifi network less secure...)
