need network to be able to connect to wifi?

[bcrtj457]

my husband currently has the Epic. Picked it up for him launch day and sent it out to Iraq the next day. He received it today. He had an Evo before the epic and never had this issue.
the issue he's having is, obviously he doesn't pick up sprint service out in iraq, but with his evo he was able to pick up wifi and connect to google talk, qik, etc.
his epic is allowing him to connect to a wifi signal, but it won't allow him to connect to google talk, qik, etc. it keeps saying "can't connect to server". like i said, he never had this issue with the evo.
anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is?

edit to add that he can connect to the brower.

thanks.

WiFi worked for me on launch day while I was waiting for my number to be ported over from AT&T. I was bale to browse, get email from both POP and Exchange, download apps from the Android Market amongst other things.

There seems to be a lot of major issues (at least to me) regarding the Epic
