Hi,
I am xoom MZ601. It connects to internet at home just fine so i know it works. But at work, when i connect to internet, there is a pop up window that comes up asking me if I want to accept the terms and condition. Its an open connection, so it wont let me access the internet till I press accept. However, when I connect to this AP from xoom, it never pops up with that accept screen, so I cannot connect to the internet. I have tried using many different browsers (firefox, opera mini, dolphin,stock). I have disabled any pop-up blockers as well. I have also updated the tablet to the latest available OTA update.
Does anyone know of any workaround for this problem?
Thank you very much.

Does anyone else have this problem?
My laptop will stay connected for a maybe a minute at a time, sometimes just a few seconds and I have to reconnect. Under Wireless Network Connection, the network is listed as "On Demand", if that helps.
I've tried every version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" I can find and they all have the same problem. Is there anyway to stay connected?
Is it possible that your computer won't let you connect to an Ad-hoc connection? Maybe as soon as it realizes what it's connecting to it jumps off?
Havent had a problem, are you using the administration portion of wireless thether, you might have to just confirm the connection on the phone and apply the settings, you should have a green sheild when on your phone when a allowed device is connected
As far as I know ad hoc networks are allowed, I am using windows xp.
I have access control on and my laptop is allowed and connects fine, it just will not stay connected.
I am using a Toshiba nb205 netbook with windows xp.
On the Choose a Wireless Network window, next to G1Tether it says "On Demand" instead of Manual or Automatic. I've never seen that before.
I'm using the internet fine, I just have to reconnect every 30 seconds or so. Perhaps my google skills are too weak, but I cannot find anything, any help is very much appreciated.
Can you connect to a wifi network from the phone and stay connected?
Can you connect to a wifi network from the laptop and stay conencted?
"On Demand" is normal for Ad-Hoc Networks.
I had the same problem after upgrading from fresh 1.0 to 1.1 w/ gk-31. I uninstalled wireless tether and reinstalled it from my mybackup pro app backup (the one I made before flashing the new Rom and kernel. Works just fine now.
If I'm not mistaken I believe flipz included a newer version of wireless tether, maybe the old one works better.
I just realized I assumed you are using freshrom...
Might try reinstalling it anyways, let us know how it works out.
Reinstalling didn't work. I'll try out some roms tonight and see if they work any better, thanks anyways
Old post I know, but just wanted to see if anyone had any more ideas here. I don't think it's an android app issue at all, but rather windows. I'll be cruising along the highway with a fine connection, but as soon as windows picks up a random access point, it will jump off my ad-hoc connection and try to connect to the other one. not cool.
Hello, i heard about a program that works as usb modem to connect a laptop an use EVDO on the phone as it would just navigate the net on the phone, but it's the laptop, just to do not really use the modem fuction witch is really expensive. I know it exist for Blackberries, but i am searching for my Touch Pro. Thanx in advance!
Hope it's this
It's called "WMWifiRouter", extracto from their page:
"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! "
google it, i really recomend it. you can use your 3g net, or the edge or gprs or any data conection your service provider gives you... or even the wifi conection if you laptop or pc doesn't have a modem.... just run the software and connect it to the pc, i'll be detected as a modem with internet conection...
hope this helped
Thanx!
I used to tried WMWIFIrouter beta a couple of years ago. I will give it a try. Is this app connects a laptop and use data as if WM was browsing the web, or as a modem?
I've got hd2 from virgin mobile. Till today wi-fi router worked ok, but now after launching I can't see it in wireless networks on my laptop even though program states is ready to accept connections. Internet sharing never worked, after pressing "connect" it grays out for 3 seconds and stays disconnected. I've used internet sharing previously on HTC HD with no problems though. So I don't know if it's a network problem or something else. I haven't used my data limit yet, so that is not the case. Using internet from the phone also isn't a problem. I would really appreciate some help.
A510 connected to router, can easily access files stored on lan, but I can't open any webpage ("Webpage not available", same with gmail or facebook). If I conect my HTC Desire over wi-fi to the same network, internet surfing works without any problem. I also tried connect to other network, turn off - on tablet but nothing new.
I am sure that yesterday it worked ok, but after that was only using lan connection.
Last night I have rooted tablet (using simple method), installed SuperUser, then TitaniumBackup, Asphalt, GTA3 and Kineticalc (from mobilism) and at the end tried to use cifmanager (without any success). I do not know if anything there make something wrong.
What to do?

Now I made reset under settings and at first boot it asks to sign in to google but I can not do that since network connection is still not working
Ive tried a few apps that didnt connect properly after bieng on another network for some time, particularly apps that needed authentication like Dropsync, and I sorted it by having my tablet connect to the internet through my mobile data connection. I dont know if your HTC Desire has that, but on my Sensation I just started mobile data and wifi hotspot, connected my Tab to it and was able to get online with any app on the tab. When switching back the Tab to my home wifi, everything worked as it should.
Might be a dns reset issue, that the Tab is forced to do on connecting to another network, it has to, but I cant say for sure that this trick will help you..

I connect to the internet on both my laptop and my other phone via my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" by wifi tethering.
Sometimes the internet works for a while and then i get that yellow exclamation mark on the wifi signal bars at the bottom right corner of my laptop screen (i am running windows 8. Same when i was running windows 7). Hover the mouse over it and it says "no internet access". So in order to get internet access to come back, i have to restart the Tab. As soon as i restart it, internet access comes back like normal. A min later, same thing happens. Internet access goes. Sometimes it goes within secs of restarting the Tab and tethering! sometimes a few minutes, sometimes hours...its just random like that. Nothing that i am doing/ru nning in spesific to cause this to happen either. It just randomly decides to go. Some days are good and some arent.
2 things are for sure...1) its not the laptop cz as soon as it goes on it, whatever other devices that are connected to the tab's interent also lose internet access. The connection never breaks though. Just the internet access. 2) Restarting the Tab immedietely fixes the ptoblem...although sometimes just temporarily.
The internet on the Tab itself works fine at all times.
Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?
