How to proceed ?
o, if unknowledgeable ppl can answer too, i would suggest you install wifi assistant (check the web page for "instructions")
many wi-fi hotspots want you to register with a specific URL; for a hotspot called somehotspot, an URL like http://somehotspot.com (or whatever your country domain is) often does the trick
if it doesn't, install Personal IP Address and try http://{your IP address}/
(Personal IP Address is a widget, so you need to add it to your desktop to see it)
