Ok, this is an old post, but it covers the issue I am having. Sitting close to a BT Openzone network point I see a strong wireless signal - but when choosing to connect it always seems to result in a local link ip address.
This sounds like the DHCP request has failed, and although 'connected' the IP address on the 770 does not permit any traffic through the Openzone connection.
I have tried a few other access points, (non BT Openzone) and connected without problems - and I've seen a couple of other postings on this subject... anyone had any success?

usually when you get the local-link connection status, it means the AP you are trying to connect to is using a MAC address filter, and although you can attach to it, you are not assigned an IP, and cant get to the internet.
try using a static IP and connecting to the AP, to see if it will allow your connection, and the issue is simply DHCP being turned off on the AP.

I also have this problem with my 770. I can see the landing page for The Cloud, T-Mobile, and various smaller services, but not BT Openzone. And this is when I can connect to the hotspot without seeing the 'link-local' message.
It does seem to be returning 192.168.x.x addresses for the Primary and Secondary DNS servers though, which surely can't be right?

I too tried a T-mobile hotspot listed in the Openzone 'find a hotspot', and it worked just fine. As do the access points at home and work.
I will find another BT spot and try again...

From BT Openzone support:
So at least someone is now looking at it.
Confirming that the DNS IP addresses returned from the hotspot are the correct ones, so that isn't the issue.
Thank you for your emails and I have passed on your comments on the Nokia 770 to our product line team, and whilst they are not aware of any specific problems they have noted the problem for further investigation. At this point we are unsure if the issue is with BT Openzone and the Nokia 770 Browser/Operating system.
The IP range for our networks will always begin 10….etc. The DNS address is 192.168.22.22 or 192.168.22.23

I've given this another go, and according to BT Openzone support, I should be getting an IP address 10.x.x.x - well instead I'm getting 172.29.x.x, which might have something to do with it. I've reported this back to support.

I'm about to switch to BT for their free WiFi minutes. Does BT openzone work on the N800? Or is this just a 770 problem? Does roaming via BT openzone account on Cloud, on the N800 work too?

Latest on this - I can connect my Nokia 770 to BT Openzone without problem using a hotspot at Stansted Airport, but not at the hotspots in phoneboxes in Newcastle. Perhaps there is a problem with certain hotspots? It might not just be with Nokia devices too.

I have recently gotten my 770, and couldn't wait to try it out at the hotspots around our town.... however, although I connect - I am never presented with the login screen in my browser
Has anyone gotten this combination to work? If so, how?
Cheers for any help
