[Q] NC registration with captive portal wifi access problem? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to register a NC when you only have wifi access through a "captive portal" type connection?
I can see the wifi connection and connect to it, but the connection requires a webpage to be launched so you can put in the username and access code.
I don't know how to have the web page displayed when registering my NC because I don't have access to a browser during the registration process on the NC. Thanks.

WiFi and GPRS

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!

[Q] Wi-Fi connection problem.

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.

unable to connect to internet after update 4.1.2

updated the jellybean to 4.1.2 using the clear-data-method-in-GOOGLE-SERVICES-FRAMEWORK
My N7 is not rooted
I am now unable to surf internet using my company's wifi network. Was previously able to log on & surf before the update.
I am able to connect to the wifi network but the icon remains greyed out. I cant get on the internet.
I get prompted to log-in the network - which is the logon page for the administration of the router Dlink 660[or something] -> which i dont have authority to do so.
Company running wpa/wpa2 psk type with mixed 802.11 n & g settings on the router
I have NO problems with wifi at home.
Have tried :
1) Tried using static instead of DHCP in wifi settings, but still no go
2) Nothing wrong the the settings of the DATE/Time
3) Deleting & re-adding Google account
Am at a loss what to do. Please - any assistance for my problem.
Your company like my school have a desperate login page. You need to open a browser and type your user name and password. Clear the browsers data and cache before doing this.

[Q] Wifi login problem

I have a broadband connection at home with a wifi router. My ISP redirects me to a login web page, post login i can surf easily.
My problem is whenever im not logged in to the page, my Note 3 doesnot connect to the wifi and displays the message "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow"
What i used to do with my other phones (HTC One, Note 2) is connect to my wifi, open mobile browser and login to my isp page. But my Note 3 doesnt even allow me to connect to the wifi. I have to boot my laptop and login from it and then can connect from my phone.
I searched and found a few threads but disabling every option in advanced settings dint help much.

Is there a solution for this? I assume this feature came with 4.3 as any of my earlier devices dint behave such.

WIFI landing page

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

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.
