I don't own a Galaxy S2. However, I can tell you some steps that you can try. So let me know how it helps. It will be like trial and error. Please tell me what happens when you try this, I will accordingly update the answer.

So first things first, I think it is a problem related to getting IP address. So first, try changing IP address manually. Here's a YouTube video that will guide you in doing this. (Not my video)

Try it and see how it helps.

I think it is kind of a caching ip address error. If you have been connected before the phone does not try to obtain an IP address because the one it got before is still assigned by the network.

What usually works for me is to connect to another network. I have plenty of open networks around where I live. This will make the phone to obtain a new ip address for the new network and delete the old one.

Now simply connect to your network again and the phone will try to obtain a new ip address and will actually communicate with the dhcp.

Worked for my galaxy s2. Hope it will help you too.

Thanks a lot. This fixed it for me too. Goto: Settings --> Applications --> All --> Software Update. Clear all the data and restart the device, this should work without trouble.
