hi

after upgrading I have access to all the wifi networks, except the free network of college. I refresh the basic properties but nothing happened.

someone with a good idea?

Maybe the network is hidden and you have to manually add the access point to your phone. Or just try to add the new access point from the setting/internet connections part and scan for it that way. I say that because at home I cannot add my n900 with just a button push. I have to enter the password from settings menu for it to function properly.

another quick try is maybe you have to register mac address with the computer lab or get an ip address from the school. or maybe you have to enter some proxy settings in the menu. maybe you need a static ip address. it sounds as if you are connected to the network but being blocked by some firewall or some other security measure. I will be back to give more and more. Gotta go somewhere.

worked three weeks ago. At school, opened the connection to not configure the devices. The school uses the system called barracuda

Did you use the Nokia Software Updater? Or did you flash the phone yourself? As I understand it you at one point had access. After upgrading you no longer have access. If you flashed the phone from command line make sure you use the right firmware. If you only used the NSU then you might have to flash the eMMC and the firmware to the phone. You need the Vanilla eMMC package and the latest firmware. Maybe you installed a package from extra-devels you weren't supposed to? I had issues with my phone after updating with the NSU but after I flashed it from the command line interface the phone worked extremely better.

bro, free open connection at colledge is not free to accessing the net, you'll need proxy setting to allowed you to by passing the firewall then it will prompt you with the user name and password.

if you don't configured the proxy setting to the connection specification then there is no way to browse out of their protected zone.

i hope i help making it clear for you. fyi, i worked as an IT support at the University of Waikato, New Zealand.
