The following is the mail I sent to you. Please REPLACE THE IP ADDRESS BELOW WITH YOURS.

Dear edcarsky,

Below is the exact script for the captioned topic:
Code:
root
cp /etc/profile /etc/profile.backup
echo export http_proxy="http://xxx.xx.x.xx:8080/" >> /etc/profile
The first line bring you to root shell;
the second line backup your precious file just in case;
the third line append the line to the end of /etc/profile.

Pay extra attention to the >>(two >). If you only type one >, then you might not be able to use your N900 again as you erased your /etc/profile

Tell me in the forum the result. Thanks.

It seems I have similar but slightly different problem.

Typicall I can connect to any free wifi that asks for a user name and password. But I can not connect to a wifi that only / just asks to accepts the use condition.

I tried to connect to a free wifi at the airport but received an error that page cannot be displayed. When tried to connect to the same wifi with my notebook internet explorer I, a page was displayed where I need only to check accept of condition.

I do not understand the reason.

Please help.

Code:
export | grep -i http_proxy

This kind of authentication method is to keep session after authenticated, so that only limited time usage can be allowed.

I've seen the similar error in login page at Bangkok airport. They deliberately make authentication page work only on IE. This is pretty much nothing we can do here. This is their resources, they've all the right to keep you away from using anything other than IE.
