Connected to router but cannot load webpages

I was at Macdonalds earlier today and there was free wifi with full signal. I connected but was unable to load webpages. There was A mac address and ip showed in the advanced section. It was an opened router for everyone to connect. It happens sometimes at starbucks too. I am currently with the 1.66 rom and 2.5 manilla. Is there a way to fix this??
Thanks.

Are you sure it's free? Some places provide a pay per use, you can connect and load a specific web page (and only that page), put in your payment information and then get the rest of the internet.

Hi
In Mc Donal
it free: confirmed
But because the wireless network free for everyone so many connection to the router; The router if setting for limited user; after time (like your problem) new device can connect to the network but can not play with the network.
What you can do is, ask for Mc Donal staff there to reset the router and everything will be fine.
Your HD2 had noproblem; ^^

at home wifi internet connection problems...

Alright alright shoot me if this has already been asked or mentioned or thought of by anyone here or any one who you ever knew. I've been searching the entire net, the XDA forums have nothin on the subject (the the search function and i arent seeing eye to eye.).
My problem is this,
I am at home, connecting to my router, and that connects fine. But i am not connected to the internet. On my PC there is an option if i want to connect to the network, and then the internet. But in the HD2, there is no option to connect, Im only connecting ot the network, but not internet access.
went to a buddys house, he got his wi fi up and running in a matter of seconds, he did exactly as i have done, located the connection, typed the pass, and that was that.
but i cannot even find a place that asks me for an internect connection after i have connected to the network, nothing there.
And i cannot find any help on this subject.
i hope you get me if not, then dont bother. i am tired of reading mountains of crap that has nothing to do with my problem.
thanks in advance
appologies for my tone, just a little frustrated right now.
ah, btw, my 3g connect works fine. just not the wifi.

Once the network is connected there's nothing more to do to get internet access. At home, does it take a long time for the HD2 to connect to the network (arrows moving on the wifi icon more than ~5secs)? If you co to connection manager -> wifi -> advanced -> advanced tab, what IP do you have?

Well it connects to 'alice-wlan' really quickly, and automatically.
but there is still no internet connection. i think its a router setting problem, because on my pc i also have to connect first to alice.wlan (does it autoimatically) but then i have to manually connect to the internet (broadband)... i do not knwo how to change this.
i dont know what IP i have, you mean as a router?

correction,
now it connects to the router quite slow, if it does at all, then drops it almost immediatly.

Just tell me the IP address that is displayed where I explained.

that makes me think you are using the old style routers that don't hold the broadband always open. meaning either the router or the pc need to dial the adsl. usually you put the connection details into the router and it handles it,,
just thinking out loud.

Hmm actually now you say that I've been at someone's place recently where they had an ADSL plan that was time-billed, so they had to open a browser and login before being able to access the web...

Could you please say what you have to do for this?

it says 0.0.0.0 hmmm i dont know if that right tho

Wait until the arrows stop moving on the wifi icon, and it whould then say something more relevant.

still nothing, 0.0.0.0 ...

well, in win7 i alice connects automatically, then theres a broadband (internet) tab, i click on that, and it runs the use/pass and connects.

[Q] Any solution to keep IP from changing?

I know that this thread will probably be over in approximately 3 posts, but I figured this was the place to ask to get a good answer.
I am part of staff for a site that uses my IP to enable staff functions. These functions are set to the IP I'm on. However, it never works considering my IP constantly changes when I'm on the T-Mobile network, and I do not have access to wifi. Is there any possible way at all, to be able to make this work, either from my N1, or on my PC using my N1 as a 3G hotspot? I'm not all that knowledgeable about networking, but I'm thinking there has to be some possible way to make this work somehow. Maybe I'm wrong and it is one of the impossible things to do on a cell network.
Thanks for any help.

how often does it change ? is the running at home or the pc u are tethering with it ? are you using a 3g network service for a server

Every couple minutes at least. One minute it's for example, something like 208.54.27.50 and in a matter of 5 minutes the last two digits could be changed. I use the 3G hotspot at home and there's no difference from that and using the phone's browser itself. I do not use T-Mobile 3G to operate any servers.

If it is via your provider you have no control over it changing as they assign you a dynamic IP. If you were at home you could set it to a static local IP (Over WiFi) but outside your LAN on T-Mobile's WAN you have no control over DHCP

All I use for internet access on the go and at home is the 3G hotspot that I get from my phone. Would I need an actual Wifi connection from an ISP other than T-Mobile to set it to a static local IP?

looks like that just cant be done.. either ur site changes ur auth to id pw based one(atleast in ur case)
or ..
if its a job of just checking somthing, u can find a friend or family member with a 24/7 online pc(with a a static ip) and just do the job thru a remote desktop connection

All right guys. Thanks. Very much appreciate your thoughts and for not flaming me due to an obvious answer. Thank you again.

[Q] WiFi Problems AFTER Internet Sharing

This is an embarrassing question for two reasons. First, I’m sure it’s a simple answer that is just getting past me. Second, every search string I try comes up with dozens of pages talking about setting up Internet Sharing, none that I could find addressing my problem. After reading through numerous pages and double checking the terrific collection of FAQs that mmalka put together for the Rhodium Energy ROM, I decided to ask here.
My problem is with connecting to the Internet through a WiFi connection on my TP2 AFTER having used the Internet Sharing app.
I use WiFi at home all the time and I never have any issues setting it up after flashing – this time was no exception. It’s been working flawlessly since flashing the ROM in my signature several days ago. But I needed independent Internet access at work yesterday to test out a VPN/remote desktop connection on a laptop and decided to try the Internet Sharing app on our phones. VERY impressive! A couple of quick buttons pushed and viola’! Worked like a champ!
However, back at home I had trouble getting my phone to connect to my home WiFi router again. I discovered that when I tried turning on the WiFi, it was looking to be used as an Internet Sharing point again. So I deleted that connection (“forgot” it) and it successfully connected to my home WiFi router. However, it will not actually go to the Internet – everything faults out with “Connection is currently unavailable”. Switching to the T-Mo 3G connection, everything works great.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions short of a hard-reset?
Many thanks in advance.

Solved!
Well, judging by the number of looks with no reply, either this was a simple solution that I should have been able to easily figure out or no one else is having the issue to know what to do. But I finally figured it out and just in case anyone else eventually comes across the same issue, I thought I tell you what I found.
After digging around, I found that the Internet Sharing application changes the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to a local IP address. So all I had to do was change it to “Use server-assigned IP address” and everything worked. (Settings tab, Wireless Controls, WiFi - Connect to WiFi Network, Advanced, Adapters and Networks, Network Adapters, edit Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter, Use server-assigned IP address.)
I have no idea whether going back to a standard wireless connection should automatically switch it back, but it doesn’t in my case. If anyone has a simpler way of address this, I’d love to hear about it.
Regardless, I hope this help someone.
Thanks

OK, so I stumbled into another revelation. It seems that if you remain in the WiFi Router application (or simply go back to it) and use the "Stop" command to discontinue the service, the Broadcomm Network Adapter does get reset to "Use server assigned IP address". The few times I used Internet Sharing, I was in other apps when I finished and simply turned off WiFi.
Oh well, live and learn.

I had a similar issue recently.
my new router was connecting fine to another mobile, but not my EnergyRom mobile.Thought it was my new routers band G/N compatibilty issue. however your post help remind me that i had used internet sharing on my HD2 for my laptop a few days earlier..Checked out my settings and well broadcom adapter was set to static at 192.168.1.1...switched it back to server assigned Ip and voila wireless is connected now
Really appreciate your post..Thanks so much for posting the solution, Gregb882

[Q] Can't access Google (or Yahoo) using my browsers

Acer A501 - not rooted. Using either browser (chrome or dolphin) can't get to a search site. I can get to microsoft.com so I know the browsers are working but neither will access the search engines.
I can get to Google Play and my email works fine.
Any suggestion??
Rog

Have you tried to do it using Wifi connection? Or 3g only?
Maybe your provider is blocking something. Try different provider/wifi network.

my suspicion is that Google and Yahoo are trying to offer to use IPv6 and your connection can't handle it.

I don't think that's the issue as my internet connection provider doesn't provide IPv6 yet and my tab connects to google using IPv4 and the fact that the DNS query for google.com returns both IP4 and IP6 addresses is not an issue.
Of course it could be the other way around. RogerCurrier's provider may support IPv6 but there can be some connectivity issues between both AS (authonomous systems) networks over IPv6. But still I don't believe that this is really an issue in this case.

Thanks for your suggestions..
I think i am getting somewhere, previously I have been using the wireless connection. Turned off the router and using 3gl I can connect to Google etc. So it seems that the problem is with the wireless connection.
Turned the router off for an hour, rebooted the Android- No difference, still can't connect to Google etc, and other connections seem slow. Have another pc using XP and it connects to Google no problem using the same router.
Checked connection with the following report: Status connected, security WPA/WPA2 PSK, Signal strength Excellent, link speed 65Mpbs, IPAddress 10.1.1.
Are there any other settings I should be aware of?

To find out which device is the source of the problem (tablet or router) it would be best if you could try another wifi connection (for example in your friend's house or some hot spot). That would show if the problem is only when you connecting to your or to any wifi connection.

Yes, I was coming to that conclusion, will try the library tomorrow. Thanks, will keep you informed.
Rog

Just checked the Amstrad in the local library. It connected to Google no problems so the problem is with the router. It looks like i will have to try another forum. Thanks everyone for their help. Long live the Android.
Rog:fingers-crossed:

Solved the problem after many hours of struggle. Made my network address static instead of dynamic. Made all the difference, quite happy now, hours to Google etc. Can't see why it should make a difference but it does.
Thanks for everyone's help and assistance.
