I updated my Iphone last night to the 2.2.1. it was working fine until today. I could not get Safari to connect to any websites. It kept telling me that Safari cannot cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. When I connect to my Wifi at home, safari works. But I'm at work and there is no wifi. I tried all the restarting/rebooting, Airplane mode, resetting. Any advice or Tips?
Got a tip for us?

I know you mentioned you tried some of these things but it doesn't hurt to try again:
Reboot:
1) Turn on iPhone.
2) Hold Sleep/Wake button (top right) until a red slider appears and says Slide to Power Off.
3) Slide the red slider.
4) Once the chasing lines are gone and the screen is black, hold the Sleep/Wake button for about 2 seconds. Your iPhone is now rebooting.
Hard Reset:
1) Power iPhone on.
2) Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for about 7 seconds, or until the screen turns black.
3) Your iPhone should reboot. If it doesn't don't worry, just hold the Sleep/Wake button for about 2 seconds.
Restore:
1) Connect to iTunes.
2) Allow your iPhone to back up and finish the sync.
3) In the Summary tab, click the Restore button.
4) Click Restore and Update to the confirmation message that appears.
5) Follow on-screen instructions from there on.

Thanks for the tips but I've tried all of them. I can't connect to the iTunes app as well. I checked the Apple forums and it seems like I'm not the only one.
I've been seeing network problems connecting to certain sites all day today and it seems I'm not the only one. Of course, no word from AT&T anywhere I can find:

Have you contacted Apple about this because I have never heard of it here. I don't go on the Apple discussions so I wouldn't know about anything happening there.

Yup. I just did the update too and am having this same problem. I thought it was just spotty AT&T coverage in my area but it looks like there is something wrong wih the firmware. On wifi right now and it works ok
Well, I haven't updated because I don't want to lose all my jailbreak data so I haven't experienced this issue first-hand.

The 3G network is still, some what, in it's infancy. It is still not as large as the EDGE (2G) network so there are still problems. Eventually they should be solved.

same issue here
Everything was working fine this morning. Turned off phone to get on plane to Boston. Once I arrived and turned it back on, I have been having spotty 3G connection ever since (even though signal is full bars).
Wifi works well though. And I updated to 2.2.1 a few days ago and no issues at that time. Must be a network thing because it worked well in TX, not so well in MA.

worked before
David, it worked for all of us before. The infancy of 3g isnt the problem here. The fact is, ATT is having a problem with their network. I havent had a single issue until today.
Whether or not they know about it/telling us about it, remains to be seen. hopefully fixed tomorrow.

It's spotty for me. I can now get on certain websites but others I cannot. What in the world is going on?
