Can not connect to Wifi after upgrade

After upgrading to IOS4 on my 3G touch I can not connect to any wireless access points. I have tested on the two at my work and two at home. I put in the WPA key and it appears to connect but I do not get assigned an IP address through DHCP. I have tried setting everything static but I still can not browse. I have restored my touch back to 3.1.3 and they all work great. I then upgraded back to 4.0 and can not connect to anything. I restored the network settings on the ipod and disabled security on the access points with no change. I am very tech savy but my inability to connect to 4 access points tells me that it is my touch but the old firmware works great. My touch is stock and had never been jailbroken. Any ideas?

Join the club ... my 2G iPod Touch gets all the proper IP credentials, I even get the "3 bars icon" at the upper left screen corner, but NO Wi-Fi reception otherwise.

BTW ... what's the issue with jailbroken iPods I keep reading about ... just curious!

Good thing I'm not relying on this device for much other than amusement, because it's NOT very amusing!

Here's an update on my "weird" scenario:

--------------------------------------------

My iPod Touch 2G does NOT connect to my AirPort base station here at home.

I've tried EVERYTHING.

Took the dog out for our afternoon walk, and brought the updated iPod along to see if I could find some open Wi-Fi networks.

Found about three or four, and they ALL worked!!!

So there is something WEIRD going on between the iPod's new software and the AirPort Extreme base station.

I've tried adjusting the security to WPA/WPA2 enabled, and still NO luck.

I took my touch over to my parents house last night and had the same issue trying to connect to their wireless. It says it connects but pulls a 169.x.x.x address. When I set it manually it still won't browse. The only wireless I have been able to connect to that works is my Android phones wireless tether. Again I have tried all security settings on the access points and even turned off encryption completely without any change.
