G580 WIFI Problem ONLY at school (redirected website for wifi password)

Hi all,
I recently purchased a lenovo G580 laptop; windows 8
My laptop wifi works perfectly when I am at home or connected to any normal wifi.
It does not work when I am at school which typically once you connect to the school's wifi, it opens up a web broweser asking for your usename and password to get compelte access. (figure 1- from my other laptop)
My lenovo laptop cannot download this website, therefore I have no internet access at school since I cannot put my information inside. (figure 2- from lenovo laptop)
The problem is not my school's router because I have wifi connection on my other laptop here without any problems. Also the problem is not really the location/wifi of my lenova laptop because I can connect to my phone's personal hotspot when I am at school.
Simply, the problem is found when I cannot connect to my school's wifi because it requires me to download a site to put my information.
I have read other forums and try to figure it myself, however, I am very noobie when it comes to computers. So I appreciate a step-by-step instructions. For example, please provide links that I may need to download to update my driver.
I have called customer care, and I am not going to pay 100 bucks just to fix a simple problem. So i appreciate your time.

check whether you have set up your wifi settings correctly.(i mean 'servers' and login credentials ).

Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?

APPLE MANAGEMENT 3.1.X WIFI problem only fixed by newer ROUTER

I just had a MANAGEMENT IN support tech. tell me the only way to fix issues with WIFI once you update to newer OS is to get NEW ROUTER because it won't work with older technology routers.

It is pretty well known here that 3.x OS requires newer routers or at least router running updated firmware. I personally don't find this to be a problem nor have I found a public router that I couldn't connect to.
I recently had a router problem, not a wireless issue, and it would not connect to my cable modem. Guess what? Router firmware update and everything was fixed.

Iphone 5 wifi problem (only fails to connect at home)

Accidentally changed HTTP Proxy to Auto(I turned it off now) while using home wifi,
now my iphone 5 wouldn't connect to my home wifi (Home only, works anywhere else)
Tried : Restoring phone to factory setting, restarting phone, forget network

When you restored, did you restore as new, or from a backup? Try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. See if that helps.

IE 10 blank new tab and missing favourites problem only when requiring a proxy for first page visit

We are having a very strange situation with one (only) of our 64bit 2008r2 remote desktop session host servers. The problem we are having is that when any new tab or window is opened it must first open a page that is in the
internet options -> connections ->LAN settings -> Advanced -> Exception. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with
Area. OR ELSE....
The entire contents of the favourites menu below "Organize favourites" is missing, though the favourites explorer bar, and tool bar display the links, but they cannot be opened in the current tab and will not create a new tab when you click open
in new tab. HOWEVER, this problem is instantly resolved if you manually type into the address bar and visit a site that is in the proxy exception list. Then that tab starts to function normally, the favourites menu is populated and works, and so
does the favourites explorer bar, and toolbar, and other websites can be visited.
This is extremely problematic. Looking at the proxy server logs, when the problem is happening no attempt is made at contacting the proxy server.
Ways we've encountered this problem
If the user has the option set that a new tab opens the 'new tab page' then any new tab experiences the problem.
If the browser is set to open the user's home page(s) then any of the home pages that are not in the exception list may or may not open successfully. But again any of them that opened a page that was not in the proxy exception list will experience
the problem
when a user tries to click on a website link from an email or document that is not in the proxy exception list, as this opens a new window or tab and it is just blank.
when a website not in the exception list tries to open a new window/tab
This problem is happening for all users on that RD session host server, including domain admins, except for THE domain/enterprise administrator. Our other 2008r2 64bit RD session host servers and windows 7 machines with the same version of IE
installed on it does not have this problem.
We have tried deleting all IE data, resetting IE, re-registering the ieproxy.dll with the regserv32 command and the problem continues.
Our proxy settings for each user is coming from the group policy setting of 'computer config -> policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Make proxy settings per-machine = enabled'
and THE domain administrator choosing to enable the proxy server and disable automatic proxy detection.

Hi,
Since you have tried many methods like deleting all IE data, resetting IE, and it works well on other Windows 7 machines, the problem might be some clients didn’t respond to the group policy.
Try to update the group policy with this command at the clients ”gpupdate /force”.
And check whether the client is infected with virus, some virus might cause this issue too.

Wifi problem with iOS 6 and new ipad wifi/4g

This is my first ipad and have been very disappointed so far.
At first it was working normally and I was connecting to the Internet without problem. It would stay connected. I only use the device with WiFi and have cellular turned off.
After the iOS 6 upgrade I have been having problems staying connected to wifi. It works until the unit goes to sleep. Then if try to use the ipad later in the day It will only connect it i go and reset network settings .
I called apple and they said since I am over 95 days from purchase I can no longer call them for help. They said I do have hardware support, but I have no way to call and see if is software or hardware without paying for a service contract.
Can someone help me out with this. I have tried the online solutions and the only one that works is resetting the network settings. I is only temporary and not an acceptable fix for a 800 device.
I have both linksys and buffalo routers but it happens with both

I am still having this issue. Any suggestions????????????????

When I try to access certain listings on ebay they are blocked - I am told this is because it thinks I am in France. I use an English ISP and the problem only happens with Firefox, not (for instance) IE. How can I overcome this?

When I try to access certain listings on eBay I get the following message:
"Unfortunately, access to this particular listing or item has been blocked due to a Paris commercial court decision that bans trade of certain authentic perfumes and cosmetic products on eBay because of French selective distribution laws. eBay is appealing this ruling but is nevertheless required to enforce it. We are blocking your viewing in an effort to comply with this court decision. Regrettably, in some cases, we may prevent users from accessing items that are not within the scope of the decision because of limitations on existing technology."
eBay support told me it is because they think I am in France or because I am using a French ISP. I am in London and am using the British ISP, Bethere. What can I do to convince them that I am in England?
The URL quoted is just an example. It happens frequently with other listings.

This is what I get:
ISP: Be Un Limited
Organization: Be Un Limited
Connection: Broadband
Services: None Detected
City: Horsham
Region: West Sussex
Country: United Kingdom
It can't be a problem with my ISP or my IP address since it only happens with Firefox. When I try out the same listings with other browsers it doesn't happen. eBay said Firefox must be making it seem as though I am in France. Goodness knows how or why??

How can i remove un/pw for wifi when teachers use their own logins for wifi connection.

I work at a public school district and each of our teachers have ipads. They user their usernames and passwords to connect to our networks wifi. I am needing to remove the username and password of last years teachers so the new teacher can sign in with theirs. I tried the suggestion of: Settings, General, Reset and Reset all Networks but when I go back i to sign into the wifi connection it is still automatically connecting to the previous users.

Have you talked with your networking it specialist? Perhaps the router is keying off the MAC address.

Iphone 6 wifi problems

II have a week old iPhone 6 and have had nothing but wifi problems since I got it.
FIrst off off I got my 6 from Best Buy one week ago, and they could not transfer my icloud items and settings to my new phone. So I was sent home to do this myself. After a few hours I finally got my iCloud back up to go onto my new iPhone.
Major wifi problems. I'm about ready to take it back, since I do have 14'days to return this nightmare.
I Have a iPhone 5 , a iPod 5, ipad 2, and my husband has a iPhone 5S. None have problems with wifi except my brand new iphone 6.
I opened my wifi settings and can see it going on and off at a drop of a hat.
Dont tell me I have to update my router because I already tried this.
Another Major Issue is that annoying pop up
"Cellular Data is turned off for your photos"
you can turn on cellular data for this app in settings
I know this appears because I lose my wifi at that moment while in the middle of something. But it as well says this for
Settings, Mail ......
IF something's not fixed soon I'm dropping Apple products. I Love Apple But right
now I'm so displeased!

Dsheedy1,
Here are the steps that I would use to troubleshoot wifi problems:
1.) Reset the wifi router at home
2.) Make sure your wifi router is not using a generic name that might be doubling with your neighbor's wifi router.
3.) Instead of naming a router NETGEAR68, name it "Dsheedy1_wifi" or some other name that is not likely to be used by a neighbor's wifi router.
4.) What is the exact nature of wifi problems?
      a.) not seeing the wifi router's name in the list of routers?
      b.) not being able to sign in or get authenticated?
      c.) getting connected to router but getting dropped at random after a while?
      d.) loosing connection if farther away from router?
Steps 1-3 deals with 4a, identifying your router from other routers in your neighborhood.
If it's 4b (authentication), temporarily set your router's encryption to nothing, see if you can get connected w/o in open access mode. Then switch back to security mode.
If it's 4c or 4d, it could be that your the iphone6's wifi chip and antenna is more sensitive. To rule out interference to the antenna, do not use a phone case that has a metallic back plate which coveres up the top most and bottom most portions of the 6.
Finally, compare wifi connectivity with routers in other locations. If it can get connected to wifi in the Apple Store, or shopping mall, or restaurants, but not for your home wifi router, then it may be a matter of the wifi on the 6 not working well with your home wifi router.
I do not have a 6 yet (still on contract for my 5). After I got my 5 in late 2012, my home wifi was working ok. I did not get the wifi sensing or login problems that had happened to many posters on this forum. However, when I started to use VoIP apps like Skype to make phone calls my wifi started to falter. Since replacing a wifi router is a cheaper solution for me, I bought a new router that was on sale for $80 and had no more wifi stability problems.
My suggestion to you at this point would be to pick up an Apple wifi router. Now if your 6 can't connect to Apple's own router there would be no doubt as to what is problem (the 6). You may have gotten one with quality problem with its wifi circuitry. If I remember correctly Apple has a 30 day return policy on products such as a wifi router. So if it doesn't work out for you, it can be returned.
Best of luck to you!

N97 mini Wifi problems

For normal surfing the wifi works fine, but when I want to use the Facebook app it won't connect to the wifi that is available. For some reason it automatically disconnects the wifi and uses the 3g, which if there is a wifi source available I would rather use the free wifi than the 3g which obviously costs.
Is there anything I need to do or is the phone faulty?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settings-connectivity-destinations-internet-options-organise-change priority and set wifi as priority 1, sevice provider as 2 etc. Phone will then use fifi when available and move down the list when it'ts not available. If away from home and near a wifi hot spot, goto connectivity and search for wifi and connect.
Good Luck

Problem with street number and city for address infotype

hi
i have posted this question earlier in this form.
we have upgraded our HR system from 4.6c to ECC 5.0.(ours is a MNC)
In the old version(4.6c),when we create an emergency contact(subtype 4)information for a pernr in pa30, the street address(Strat field) and city(Ort01) information was not mandatory.The information used to get saved with out these fields.
But in the upgraded version(ECC 5.0),for the same emergency contact, when we create information for a pernr in pa30,it is asking Street(Strat field) and city(ort01) as mandatory.My requirement is to make these fields unmandatory as the old version.the screen behind this is 2005 for module pool MP000600.
i am facing this problem only with german employees.(for US and other employees it is fine.)i tried working with v_t588m table in sm31 and made STRAT and ORT01 fields as optional (for all screens of 2005).but still,i am facing the same problem.
Can anyone give me a clue of this solution.
thanks

Have a look at V_T588MFPROPC and V_T588MFPROBS - especially if you have concurrent employment activated in your backend. Also check OSS with those table names!
Hope that helps,
Harald

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.
