I have the same problem...! So if anyone could help us (my WLAN-Settings of the seperate network-card and WLAN are set to Internet)! PLS
let me get this right, you can browse internet and everything else (youtube, weather, rss...etc) on your wifi connection but you cannt do IM. seems weird
Qs
1. can you use IM from a PC connected to the same wirless network?
2. also can you rule out the possibility that there are network restrictions on your wifi? many public networks only allaw for http traffic(web)
3. can you live with a web version of your IM client like www.meebo.com/?

WLAN :: Browser authentication trouble

Hey guys,
At my school the students have access to an open WiFi network. The internet connection is routed through a local proxy, and when we first open the web browser we are presented with an authentication page where we input username and password. Using Firefox, Chrome, or any other browser on a regular computer, this works just fine.
On my Hero however, something prevents it from working correctly. I get the authentication screen, input my username and password, I click Login, but from here nothing seems to work.
The proxy spits out a message saying something like "authentication successful, logging you on to the network", but then it says something about a DNS timeout, and that I have to restart my browser to gain internet access.
Obviously, that doesn't work. I tried once to load google.com, using its IP and it worked I think (given that the browser didn't load it from the cache). I guess the problem somehow relates to the way Android handles DNS.
My Hero is not rooted, and for various reasons I'm not planning to do it either. Running latest official ROM.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as IT on my school doesn't seem to actually know anything about the authentication process.
I also have problem with secure login but in my case I can't load the securelogin page where I need to enter the user name and password.
Non android phone don't see this problem and also I don't have this problem with my android at my home with open WIFI.
I am using HTC Hero G3 with official android 1.5.
Hi, has anyone been able to make this work?
I'm also having the same experience but with my x10mp.
the browser login page is not displaying so i'm unable to use the wifi.
shameless self bump.
i have already tried 2 apps (Open Wifi Login and Browser Wifi Login) that should have solved this but did not.
can anybody help with this issue?

[Q] VPN issues with country specifics websites

I got my Transformer yesterday and I'm loving it! However I have some problems with getting VPN to work with country specific websites like my company's portal and bbc iplayer. I'm in cyprus for holidays and I cannot use any of these websites. I successfully created a vpn connection with my UK server but it seems that the browser doesnt use the vpn connection. When I navigate to findmyip.com it tells me that the ip is the wifis ip instead of the one provided by the vpn connection. This works well with my android phone so its a bit strange that it doesn't work with my tablet. Any ideas on what's going wrong?
idk my VPN works just fine.
I use OpenVPN and everything has been smooth. Not sure how default would work though.
You have tot tell your device to "se the remote (vpn endpoint) gateway. How you do this depends on what software you use.
Can someone put some more details about issues and if they are easy to resolve?
I live in Poland and I use VPN to watch Netflix / Hulu / ABC in US and BBC iPlayer (+ live channels), 4oD and ITV Player in UK.
So, VPN is kinda important to me
At the moment on iPad I do not have any issues.
Do you guys know: if Netflix app for HC will be available in USA can users from different parts of the world get it (easily) as well? With iPad all I had to do was to create account in US iTunes Store...

Internet connection through Proxy Server. Apps not working

Hi,
This is a common problem for most of the android devices, I guess. I bought my Nexus 4 only a couple of weeks back. I haven't rooted it yet. However I was told that I will be able to use internet normally in my university where the internet connection is made through a proxy server.
The problem is I am only able to access internet through my browser. None of my apps - Gmail, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc. are not working.
Can someone help me out?
Hi,
Try with Drony or SandroProxy.
