attwifi....arrrrggh!....help please?

[randelli]

I did not think about using a different browser. I guess because it doesn't let me get that far into the process. I'm sure it is Loser Error

So far it only happens in Starbucks and Barnes & Nobles - both of which have attwifi as their SSID. I went again today and was able to connect my HTC EVO with no problems and get to the T&C page. The HP Pavilion g7 had no such luck...

Thanks for the link. I will give that a try.

The program will let you know what networks are available, single strength, etc.. It's a nice to have but it won't fix your problem.

Is there a pop up blocker in use on the laptop? So you can't accept terms etc?

While in the store,

Right click on the "bars" signal strength indicator. (lower right hand corner of screen in the "notifications area")

Click on "open network and sharing center".

When that opens look to the left hand side of the screen
underneath "Control Panel" you will see "manage wireless networks"

Click on that when it opens you should see the ATTWiFi network.
Right click on it select "remove network".

close everything and restart the computer and let it reacquire the signal.

Go back to the signal strength bar left click on it and ATTWiFi should
appear on the list of networks.

Click on it and then click on "connect."

See if that works.

just got back to this thread. chasenblues has the right idea.

if you connected to any network identified as ATTWiFi _ then Windows saves the settings associated with the original network where you were able to connect

removing that network will reset it when you connect to the location that you're currently at __ not the previous location with the same name (telephones work differently, btw __ and the EVO is running Android, which is Linux based)

__ find it difficult to understand why a city, like Austin, isn't using unique SSIDs for specific locations. this is not an uncommon problem
(it's a Windows "feature")
