Internet browsing via WIFI

[nazsam]

I have a new BB 8120 and am new to BB's. I have finally connected the phone to the wireless network in office . However now I am trying to browse the internet which I believe I should be able to do using the standard browser (ie Not optuszoo). HOwever I get the following error message: Unable to open a PDP Context to the followinf APN: blackberry.wap.

What can I do?
I am with Optus (mobile plan only) and the interent is also with Optus - however I should still be able to browse the internet through the network shouldn't I?

thanks

Procedure

To configure direct web browsing on a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:

Great tute, I brought my 8820 in the states the other day and only just turned it at home this evening so its been great getting the browser set up so easily. Now for maps.

Great info but my Bold 9000 does not give the same options as listed... Any chance of an updated screenshot version? Also should the web browser indicate WIFI at the top when browsing?
Thanks

for the bold you want to ensure its on hotspot browser and also you will know if you are connected via the wifi by looking at your home screen. For example mine says

vodafone AU - wlan (which is the name of my home adsl 2 wifi)
