Does the server show up in the list? It is possible that the server is in "invisible mode", open the menu on the server (where you can switch to third person cam) and check if that is correct.

I can concur having the same issue. Both Android, Gingerbread handsets connected to the wireless network and confirmed local IP address and gateway details. Neither handset can see the other. On the otherhand if one of the devices becomes an ad-hoc wifi network and the other joins that network then multiplayer works fine.

Do everyone have the same version of Minecraft PE? Apparently people from the paid and lite versions cannot play together which is sad.

I always just press the home button and reopen the app, then wait about 5 seconds, then it works

Minecraft PE crashes when generating world

{IOS}

1] It never did this until I updated to 0.8.1.

2] My Ipod touch 3rd generation is fully compatible to run minecraft PE.
