Hmmm I've had fairly similar issues that JUST cropped up. I can usually connect to most open networks and I've never had any problems until yesterday when sitting in a coffee shop. There were five open networks in the area generated by various restaurants and my N810 was unable to connect to any of them. Just the generic (and now hated) "Unable to Connect" message.
On an almost unrelated note I still can't get my N810 to connect to my home network

hi all,
Thx for ur replies. However, my issue here is that the message only pops up whenever i try to make an internet call. It also displays 'network error'. The weird part was that i was clearly connected n i could surf the net without any problem.... So i figure the 'network error' must be due to 'unable to connect to one or more accounts' problem, about which i dun have a clue...
If anyone out there has encountered a similar problem before, pls enlighten me on this.
Many thanks.

I have the same problem when i'm in school using the wifi from there. It is unlocked or unsecured, and I get full bar while in classroom and I seem to be able to connect to it, however when I try to surf the internet I get a message saying it refuses to contact google.com/live.com or any websites. Also my googletalk icon blinks on and off...so i'm assuming my n810 isn't getting internet from it. However, I read about some possible mac filter on unsecured wifi but other student's ipod touch and iphone and sidekicks are able to connect to same server and surf the internet. Anybody know any settings that need to be off or on? Also, this happens with another wifi location near my school...so I'm not sure if it's my n810 or them. Suggestion please

if your proxy settings are aok (either input or not used)
try changing your DNS settings (try using OpenDNS)
i would also change the WLAN Power Saving to On (maximum) seems to work for me- if it is maximum then try intermediate or off

sorry about the late reply - i've been bz @ work and i've had some hardware (pc/and mac ) issues at home
1. to change dns settings: connections>edit>advanced>IPAddresses(tab) uncheck auto-retrieve DNS settings
opendns (opendns.com) (which some people find controversial because they insert their own search page on a 404) has
Primary DNS address: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS address:208.67.220.220
If that's not it- then they may be MAC address filtering and then you should get the permission of the AP so they can add your MAC address.
