try checking if you really are connected thru your wifi. if so, open explorer on your phone while it is connected thru wifi, you'll konw when the icon circle with 2 arrows appear steady.
if not, set your settings to "the internet" instead of "work" then try again.
or you may be far from your wifi source, just for testing try to sit down in front of your wifi router while browsing.
worst comes to worst have a master rest and try again.

you obviously know how to turn on wifi on your alpine yes?
tunr on your wifi then go to the there is a little icon at teh bottom of the screen that shows all avalable connections, hold over select your home wifi connection, click connect when it appears select "internet" enter your wifi password and thats it, it will use your adsl connection if you turn on your wifi before you try to access the net, if you dont it will use gprs.
wifi must be on and connected before you use outlook/IE/opera ect. default is always gprs
