My Kindle Fire connects to my network just fine, but when I hit the web button, it won't load a web page. My static IP is off, and it's connected just fine to my network. What am I doing wrong? This just started recently, and before hand there was no problem with this.
Guys, the issue is fixed now. I pulled a hard-boot on the Kindle Fire, and everything was great after that. Thanks for the responses.

Hi Maximus, trouble with Wi-Fi connection on Kindle Fire and issues with Silk browser are only some of the long list of reported problems with this lemon device. Other issues are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is a fake where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, etc.
Just return it while you can and get Nook Tablet - it's been getting rave reviews and it is the best device in it's class - much better than Kindle Fire. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better than Fire), the best non-glare laminated screen (vs. very reflective screen of Fire), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot, a microphone for Skype, and physical volume controls on the side (neither of those is on Kindle Fire.) Amazon's own web site has hundreds (more than 1800 already) of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device.
Also, Amazon prime is worthless - for $79 you get 13,000 movies and 10,000 books included while Netflix has millions of movies (for $8/month) and B&N ebook store has millions of books (and over 2.5 million free ones). All your purchases for Nook (ebooks/apps) are stored in free Barnes & Noble Cloud thus even if you break the device you can download everything back on another one.

Can you view APPs or any Videos from your KF?
Try powering down everything, including your PCs and router and cable modem. Wait a minute, then power up first your cable modem, then your router then your computers and then your KF.
It's possible your router did not assign an IP and it needs refreshed.
Good Luck!
