Cruise Ship Internet Connection Prob
 

I'm on a Carnival Cruise ship to the Baja Calif area, can't connect to their wireless Internet. The connection is acting like I am blocking a popup, but I am set not to block popups. I can connect to non-pay sites such as the carnival site, but not to regular sites like the Ny Times site or any other site except for the few carnival-specific sites.

Just thought I'd mention this; I'm not expecting any real help. I have all the settings correct that I know of, except the system may expect I use the Internet Explorer browser. I'll try telling it I am using Internet Explorer later and post here if that solves the problem. I am using Windows on a regular computer as I type this.

If it uses a java app to detect your browser like BT Openzone does your knackered.

Well, problem solved somehow. I just selected restore original settings and immediately could get connected. So, everyone with an N900, you can cruise Carnival now. The cost was about 40 cents a minute, which is steep but not astronomical.

By the way, it appears that internet access is throughout the ship and not just limited to a few areas, which is nice. The ship is the Carnival Splendor, said to be carrying 3000 passengers.
