Hello

I think that I could not explain.

Since I bought my N900, I could connect to all wifi connections free.

My university provides free Internet via wifi (no user, no password, no IP configuration). I installed the last update two or three weeks ago. when I did, I had no problems. The strange thing is that since then, the phone said that I could connect and I can see the IP through WifiInfo. but when I open any page in the Browser can not display anything. "unable to connect, blah blah blah"

In all other places it works, even my house. (WLAN and security) and that's what I go crazy.

on the other hand, I know that I subscribe to extra-devel but I do not know if some programs may be blocking something. any ideas???

I will be back to give more and more. Gotta go somewhere.
I had to do the same thing, register the mac address. Too bad it didnt work...

I came across a similar problem with my wifi at work.

Try editing the connection then manually setting everything on the 'IP Addresses' tab from the 'Advanced' menu.
it worked for me.

I can concur, though, that updating to the latest firmware changed something with how wifi on this phone behaves.

delete problematic wifi connection (settings-internet connections-connections)
shut down phone
restart and try to connect
