I have a samsung captivate and i am unable to connect to a wifi network which requires browser based authentication (like in hotels,airports etc.), where u have to acccept their term and conditions and then u get directed to a authentication page to get internet connection. Is there a solution for that ? Thank you.
What is exactly the problem? Do you have an error message? Are you correctly connected to the Access Point? ...
Please give more details.
i am able to connect to the access point,but it just does't go to the authentication page.Therefore, doesnt connect to the internet.
I can confirm this problem on my htc legend..2.2 rooted...all android devices are having this problem with the particular network.It connects fine..obtains ip from the dhcp server...and then a dead end after that..

Hi there!
Maybe I'm just too stupid, but I've benn trying for weeks now to setup the network parameters for my University's Campus network and failed miserably, so could someone please explain to me how this darn "Internet Connection Manager" works?
What I need in brief:
How can I setup a proxy to use with and only with
- HTTP(S) and FTP(S)
for a WiFi-Network that
- is NOT encrypted
- does NOT require dialing a number / accessing a modem
- does NOT use a VPN
??
Whenever I try this it always results in the connection dying completely.
In other words: When I select my standard UMTS-uplink as "default connection for programs connecting automatically" and then manually establish a WiFi-connection I can reach all computers available on the campus network get ping responses and everything, but I cannot use a proxy, hence not load off-campus pages.
When I define a new connection and enter my settings (just WiFi-name and the proxy details) I can still establish a WiFi-connection, but get a ping timeout even on the access point and the intranet servers usually available through the WiFi. No SSH login, no intranet, nothing (but I do get an IP assigned & stuff)
Here's what I would like to do in theory:
=> Manually connect to a WiFi-Network called "tuwlan".
. -open network
. -no encryption
. -IP, netmask, gateway, nameserver etc provided automatically by DHCP
=> Establish a SSH2 (SecureShell) connection to our on-campus proxy server and tunnel some ports to get through the Subnets (extremely restrictive) firewall.
. -SSH including port forwarding done with PockeTTY, works like a charm
=> Use Opera Mobile to surf web pages and FTP Sites through the proxy "localhost:40081" (which is forwarded to our campus proxy server through SSH2).
=> The Proxy only knows HTTP(S) and FTP(S), so all other programs (ICQ, Skype etc) are not to use it!
This setup used to work great with older Opera versions, but they removed the proxy setting dialog in favor of directly using the ICM settings.
So now I'm stuck with Microsofts Internet Connection Manager
Can anyone please help me to get this working?
Ok Let me Rephrase.
I'm having trouble connecting to Wifi hot spots, it brings me a Message telling me to Please Verify your Network Settings.
How can I verify my network settings?
I tried everything on the Manual, yet I cannot connect to any internet.
Settings/6 Connections/8 Wlan Settings /1 Wifi
hot spots will not connect for me.
The hotspot : menu/edit has these settings:
Network type: Internet
Auth: Open
No encryption
Key is auto
It tries to connect, but gives me that Above Message that I need to verify my settings.
Can somebody Explain or if its already been explained ANYWHERE, Redirect me to that Thread and Site.
Thanks.

The trouble seems to be with the Wifi Connecting.
It searches and finds hotspots.
Tries to connect and fails and returns a message saying change network settings or something.
It has never connected to wifi....
I know there are a lot of threads about wifi problems on this site, but i cant seem to find one that has helped me.
My problem is that i am trying to connect to my orange broadband router through the wifi on the Zest. It requires a WEP key which i have, and have entered. Although my desktop PC connects to the router with the network key but uses it as a WPA-PSK key with TKIP encryption. I have also tried to connect my Zest using WPA-PSK but have been unsuccessful. It accepts the key (both as WEP and WPA-PSK) and says that the source is 'Available', but it will not actually connect to the internet. I have tried connecting to another hotspot next to my library (which does not require a key) and have been successful, it becomes available and then connects and i am able to use web browsers via wifi, as usually when i open the browser at home it automatically connects to GPRS/3G, which then costs me extra on my contract.
Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
noobish error - forgot to press the button on my router that connects new devices
FYI to other Newbies
This can also happen when the user selects (usually inadvertantly) the "WORK" option under "connects me to . . ." section in the wifi setup. When this is selected and all the other settings are set to "my device connects me to . . . 'INTERNET'", then one could have the encryption password correct and have their entire network set up correctly, but the device will STILL fail to connect. Thus, the "connection to" in the wifi network setup and the network adapter, and one's router must all "agree" or connection will not take place.
does anybody know the ip address for the hotspot? i tried a few of the common ones but i cant get anywhere. hoping to find some advanced settings for wifi. any help is much appreciated.

Connect your PC, then do an "ipconfig" from a cmd shell (assuming Windows). That will tell you both the address assigned to your PC and to the phone (the default gateway).
The webpage at http://192.168.1.1/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
this is the error message i get every time. could it be locked? or is nothing there?
i want to extend the network to my wireless router connected in my house. it will give me access to my printer and my hdd because they are connected to my wireless router. cant figure out how to do it.
The advanced settings are configured through the phone itself, I don't think it has a web interface.
You also won't be able to link it to your home wireless. Those home devices would need to connect to your hotspot wireless.

You would need to use a custom firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato on your home wireless router to do what you want. You would have your home router link to the TB and then everything else to the router. This would also make the rest of your devices connect to the internet through the TB. Probably also not supported or liked by VZW but you can technically do it.
Device is Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-S5580, Android version 2.3.3 (Gingerbread.xwkpn)
WiFi works fine. However, when I connect to a public (hotspot) WiFi network, I'll get an IP address and the connection is established.
But for most of those hotspots, I'll need to go to a special webpage to log in to the service.
And no matter what I try, the browser doesn't redirect the phone to this login page, and WiFi cannot be used.
I've tried different browsers, but none of them works.
Any idea how this can be solved?
