Ok, i've got it connected and I have data. I went into the router and reserved an IP for it (via the MAC listed in the advanced wifi settings) and then set that wifi to use the same static IP. Not really ideal, but it works for now.
EDIT: To add more info, i looked at the logcat initially. I had noticed that it was getting a DHCP timeout error. So it looks like something is amiss with the initial DHCP request/response. Since DHCP is responsible for handing out IP addresses, i just manually reserved one for my phone's MAC address in the router, then on the phone told it to use that IP when connecting to my wifi. As long as you have access to the router, it shouldn't be that hard to do for now until it gets fixed.
