Here's the problem.
When I try to connect to my University's network , the Galaxy S is able to connect JUST fine. However, when I open a browser it says the incoming certificate is not secure and then I have NO INTERNET on any page.
What the network is supposed to do is redirect me to the login page so that I can register the device to the network. My phone can't do that apparently and just sits connected to the network with NO INTERNET connectivity. How can I fix the problem?
This is the university network and the instructions how to get on it for Android devices:
http://www.colorado.edu/its/docs/wireless/androidwireless.html
I connect to it just fine but am UNABLE to get to that device registration/login page.
This is NOT just for my university. ANY public network which requires me to accept an "agreement" before it lets me have internet access, my phone KILLS ITSELF and CANNOT pull up the agreement page but instead tells me there is no internet. I'm SURE its a software problem or something with settings but can't figure out just what it is. Help?
Just about the only networks I can connect to on Wi-Fi are home networks. It SUCKS.

For some reason I can connect to the internet very easily through GPRS (even when roaming), but at home with my own wirelss LAN, I can connect with no problem, but each time I try to access anything on the internet, I get a pop-up stating "Could not locate remote server". I don't have a router, I am using a desktop as the gateway, I am currently accessing the net with my laptop through the same means. All configurations for the LAN appear to be correct, but I must be missing something on the JAMin. In the WiFi settings, I see the LAN, almost full signal - Ad hoc Mode - status is connected - I'm assigned an IP ... seems like everything is in order.
Will one of you wizards point out what I've missed? I know it's probably simple, usually is.
If I'm having trouble connecting a device to a network that has previously been working ok, the first that I do is turn off all network security i.e WEP, MAC address filtering etc. Then reboot the wireless access point/router and your device. If you still can't connect, you can start to blame your device.
Don't think it's a network prob...
Thanks Matterhorn, but my laptop is still connected fine, no problems there... I get the feeling that the PPC's only recognising the GPRS as a valid network for internet access... it works okay when I login to a commercial WiFi network (when I'm in the States) but for some reason on my own network here at home, it logs in, just can't find a server for some reason. The first thing I thought of was the firewall, turned it off and still no luck.
Any other ideas? I thought maybe there was a setting for default AP or connection, but can't find it, nor can I find an appropriate reference in the manual. Ugh!
Resolved!
It would seem my JAMin was trying to access the internet not through the gateway, but through my laptop. As I don't have the laptop setup to share an internet connection, it would allow my JAMin to connect, but that was all. I went in the room where my desktop is, registered on the network there and bingo!
Too simple, should have tried that right away but it didn't occur to me at the time. Thanks for the help anyway Matterhorn!
Apologies but I am verynew to the Atom and networking. Could somebody please assist with a simple to follow list of steps for me to connect to the internet at an internet cafe. I turn on the wifi and it will generally stay on for a short time but when I try to use internet explorer to get to gmail (or any other site) it comes back with a message that the connection was lost. I know there was no problem with the wireless connection in the cafe as my pc was downloading at the time. many thanks
Hi,
First of all, are you able to connect to the Internet from your device at home?
....or is it the case that you don't have an access point at home and simply want to connect to the Internet from an Internet cafe or WiFi hotspot?
Generally, if you have correctly configured (set-up) your Atom correctly, to connect, using WiFi, that setup should still work outside of your home, assuming you have a free WiFi hotspot. The only difference being that this time, it is not using your own access point. All you need to do is simply to connect (as you were doing).
The same goes with an Internet cafe, as long as the routers in the Internet cafe are setup to allow connectivity from un-named devices (such as your Atom), in adition to connectivity from their own specific computers (hence you were able to download, using the computers at the Internet Cafe).
The keyword here is OPEN - be it at an Internet cafe, WiFi hotspot or whatever. It's got to be open (and free), before you can connect and surf the Internet, like you were trying to do.
Failing that, you'll have to subscribe to the service provider before you can use their WiFi hotspot (e.g. at an Internet cafe, Macdonald's, hotel, airport) or any other public place.
Your device should be able to see all nearby networks. It should also indicate the strength of the signal according to the number of bars next to the network. Additionally, it will show, by way of a padlock, that it is a secure network. No padlock means it is an open one.
If there are open networks within your vicinity that do not require authentication, with a strong signal, then all you need to do is to click connect and you're on - away and surfing.
However, if the signal is weak, (assuming that it does not require authentication), then, you simply would not be able to connect to that network.
Try and figure out from here, as to why you weren't able to connect at the Internet Cafe.
Hope this helps.

When trying to browse using a Wi-Fi network, it says:
-----------------------------------------------------
ERROR
Could not locate remote server
You tried to access the address
ht-tp://bbc.co.-uk/, which is currently unavaliable. Please make sure that the web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page
Make sure your internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working.
-------------------------------------------------------- When browsing with GSM, 3G OR HSDPA it's fine.
It is not my Wi-Fi settings as it does this on every Wi-Fi network I try, including public networks in Starbucks, McDonalds etc..
Any suggestions?
I seem to have a problem where the phone no longer detects if there is a WiFi landing page nor an internet connection.
I have tried wiping the network settings to no avail. This seems to happen on all connections.
Cheers
Jonathan
Have you tried to go on any non https sites like http://www.cnn.com to get redirected to a log in page>

That's fine I do get redirected....the problem I suffer with is if I have a public hotspot stored for example a FoN hotspot and then when I am out and about it picks one up. The phone connects and then does not realise that it can't access the internet until I login in. Until recently it would come up with a sign in notification and if I did not it would disconnect from that wireless network and remain on the mobile network.
I now do not get that sign in notification and it just remains connected to the wireless network with no real internet connection as it is within a walled garden.
Thank you in advance.

In wireless setting forget the network, then connect to it again. This should bring up the login page. Bookmark the page and you will have it for future access.
Hi all,
When connected to a WiFi network (isolated intranet, no internet access), Android seems to assume it's useless, and directs all data through the 3G/4G network.
For example:
- 3G/4G mobile data enabled.
- WiFi enabled, connected to intranet and is allocated a 192.168.4.xxx address.
- Android detects WiFi connection has no internet access, so i get the WiFi logo with the X through it, and a notification saying so.
- I open the web browser on the phone, try to connect to http://192.168.4.1, which times out as Android is trying to connect to that site via the mobile network.
- So I disable mobile data.
- Now when I open the web browser on the phone, try to connect to http://192.168.4.1, the site loads as it should.
It appears Android is trying to be too smart for its own good, and just completely disregards the WiFi connection if internet access isn't present.
Does anyone know how to fix this so it follows normal packet routing rules?
Thanks.

Hello
When you have activated the mobile data and you are on a intranet Android it´s smart and connect you to internet. I know that it a very boring thing but is an system specification. I´m a IT admin an on my enterprise occurs the same. The only possible solution is to shut down mobile data if it not neccesary and connect to the intranet both things are not possible.
Best Regards
