No internet connectivity from certain WiFi Hot Spots

I've been unable to get internet connectivity using Tim Horton's WiFi on my MacBook Pro.
I can select the Tim Horton network but when I launch my browser nothing happens.
I've cleared cache and cookies, restarted laptop and a few other things, Not able to get on the Internet no matter what I do., My iPhone -was- able to connect without issue. This is odd isn't it?
I've tried Safari and Chrome to no avail, I am being given an IP address but get no further than that, The Tim Horton's join network page never shows up. Nothing.
This has happened to me at 3 different Tim Horton's.
I use my laptop at -countless- hot spots and have -never- had a connection issue... only at Tim Hortons.
I don't know what's going on but something is not right. It just happened to me this morning. I left Tim Hortons and went to Panera. BOOM. Instantly online.. Same with McDonalds which is right across the street from Panera. I can get on both places. But not Tim Horton's. Any ideas why?
I don't know if this helps, but I did capture a log of the attempt to get online...

Clinton, thanks for the suggestion of trying NetSpot. The application sounds like it might be helpful for general network assessment although I'm not sure if it can provide much assistance in this situation.
I believe the internet connectivity issues I'm experiencing have more to do with whatever kind of "sensing" that the router/hotspot uses. Generally when I go to a new hotspot, after choosing it in my list of avalable networks, a hotspot window will automatically open asking for my agreement to the terms of useage. That never happened at the hotspot I was having trouble with. I was able to choose the hotspot, had an excellent signal strength and was assigned an IP but never got any further than that.
So I'm not sure what NetSpot will be able to do for me in that situation but I'll download it and try it.

I have the ipad2 wifi. and have downloaded some games, do i need to stay connected to a wifi hot spot to play them?

do i need to stay connected to wi-fi to play games i've downloaded, i went to the skating rink and was looking forward to pass my time playing game apps i downloaded but couldnt play them because of no hotspot??

Wi-Fi is only needed for the download, not to play the game. Unless, of course, the app description states that the app needs Wi-Fi to play.

WIFI hot spot for customers

I want to allow customers who enter my business internet access (like a WIFI hot spot), but I don't want them to have access to my entire network of many PC's and Macs. I only want them to be able to access the internet without passwords, but not allow them to connect to computers on the network.
Is there a way to setup Airport Extreme so this can be done?
Vincent Pickeral

One way to set that up is to purchase a Firewall with an optional interface. One product I have used for this kind of application is the Watchguard Firebox Edge X5.
Basically... You would plug the WAN interface in to your DSL or Cable modem, and your work or protected network (Macs, PC's, Credit Card verification etc) in to the Ethernet ports. Your Wireless Access point would plug in to the optional interface, which is on a separate network.
This can be a bit complicated to set up, and this particular FW is a bit more expensive that the standard home unit, (about $350). It's about the only way I know of to separate your Airport network, and protect your business data, using a typical DSL or Cable circuit.
There may be other brands out there... this is just the one I am familiar with.

Is anyone having issues syncing the iPhone wifi hot spot to iPad, Mac, Etc..? I constantly have to turn it off and back on to get them to connect. I with it was a little more seamless... Thoughts?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot with Z10

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot at work with my z10. We use Cisco access points. Once connected to the AP, users are redirected to https://2.2.2.2/login.html this page allows users to type a username and password and then click a button to gain full Internet access. Using the z10 to connect to the AP redirects me to the secure page but then throws the error:
"Site Identity Not Verifiable"
I then select Expand to continue and am able to add the site as an exception but then I get asecond error:
"Unknown network error 3RFINA".
I believe it's most likely due to the self-signed cert that the AP is using to secure the http traffic. I use to see this issue on my previous blackberry devices and playbook prior to some recent OS updates, but I am not sure what the exact fix was. If you try to accept the error and there no prompt to install the cert as seen on my previous devices.
I am able to connect to the same AP with my laptop, Playbook, and Bold 9900, iPod and android devices without issue. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Since the AP is not mine I am really looking for a transparent client-side solution.
Thanks

Same here...
I guess the problem is invalid certificate in web authlogin page.
Even when I add a excepetion, I still geting this same error 3RFINA.
I remember when I had Android 1.6 I receive similar error, but when upgraded to 2.1 the errors was gone and I was able to authenticate in wifi connection here in that government build.
Now, when I came to BB Z10, I a kind of disapointed to get same error. I now its concern by security and the guilty in that history probably is IT who admin this network for using a invalid certificate (the validation date appears in browser is a kind of funny... says its valid from 2027 to 2039)

IPhone Bluetooth tether to Bluetooth router for a wifi hot spot

Ok I want to use my iPhone as a WiFi hot spot for Internet access for my laptop and my iPad. My laptop and iPad have WiFi capability. So can I Just get a bluetooth WiFi router, pair it to my iPhone for a WiFi hot spot for laptop and iPad?

Even if there were such a thing as a Bluetooth ➔ WiFi router (I've never seen or heard of one), and you have tethering enabled on your phone and cellular plan, I don't believe it would work, depending on the Bluetooth profile supported by the router. The only type of Bluetooth file transfer profile supported by iPhones is a direct tethering connection to the end device. Unless the router appears that way to the phone, it won't work.
If you have an iPhone 4, WiFi hotspot will be supported directly from the phone with the 4.3 update.

How to share internet connection from notebook to mobile phone with micro usb cord in Debian based OS? (reverse tethering)

I want to share internet connection from notebook to my mobile phone (Keon) with micro usb cord (because I don't have wifi). I found in Firefox OS (version: Boot2Gecko 1.1.1.0-prerelease) Settings only the possibility to share internet from mobile phone to PC. I use a Debian based OS: Knoppix. I tried to accomplish this with Networking Manager and I did a new wired connection via my phone with "Shared to other computers" IPv4 Settings and with FE:...:02 (usb0) MAC address. But on my phone there is not internet although the connecton between my notebook and phone is estableshed.

Hi Pimpo,
Thank you for posting your question. I was trying to reproduce your the Shared network, and I would love to know what kind of network you used to connect. This is not possible as of yet and I will file a bug being able to do this, but to make sure I have the right steps on the bug can you confirm the set up of the shared network please?
Also this is currently not possible because the software does not know how to send network traffic over usb, assuming you do not have the ability to turn the computer into a wifi hot spot, which I would recommend instead...

I have an I phone 4 and I had to reset the phone. I lost my WiFi hot spot in the settings. How do I get it back?

I have lost my WiFi hot spot on my phone after resetting it How do I get it back?

- Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
- Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.

Stop photo streaming uploading when I use some WIFI Hot Spot?

Hi!
Is it possible to stop photo streaming uploading when I use some WIFI Hot Spot?
I use tethering from other 3G connection a lot, so i'm consuming a lot of Mb!

I missed you in iChat yesterday as I was posting this to let you know.
It is mostly as the Page 7 stuff is but laid out in a form that can be used without tables or extra div sections of HTML.
As I am sure there are newer things that we have missed such as
http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html
and other VJ type apps that might warrant some sort of mention.
Anyhow it might flush out some some more anyway.
I still feel that the credit for this lies with you.
I am going to leave it for a while to see what comes up here and in the other forums of items that might need a mention.

BT WiFi hot spots are unusable

Because I have BT Infinity at home, when I am out my phone connects to free BT WiFi when I am near a hot spot. However, because the connection is so slow, it is unusable and I have to manually turn off WiFi so I can use my data connection. I cannot use Google hangouts or Chrome when connected to a BT WiFi hot spot.
I have never had a phone that worked with BT WiFi when out - currently I have an HTC One M8 which if anything is going to work, you would expect that to be OK. So what is the point?

Thanks. Wow! A lot of stuff on there. However, it doesn't give connection speed which is what I have Speedtest for. However I don't think even Speedtest worked when I tried it when connected to a hot spot when out.
Currently here at home I am getting around 36 Mbps on my phone, i.e. about half LAN speed, which is fine.
Just as an experiment I disconnected from my home WiFi and connected to my own BT WiFi-with-FON. Ookla Speedtest gave up with "Network Communication Issues".

Having problems sharing internet Connection from Macbook to Vonage Adapter

Hello,
I just got my Vonage adaptor and I am trying to share the Internet connection from my Macbook Pro (10.7.3) to the Adaptor to use the Vonage service bc my router is downstairs.
I turned off my Firewall, hooked my Vonage adapter to the Macbook with the ethernet cable and then went to Sys Preferences > Sharing > Selected Internet Sharing > Share Connection from Wifi to computers using Ethernet, and it looks like everything is ok but when i try to use the phone which is connected to to Vonage Adapter, it says "Your Vonage device cannot connect to the internet, check to see if your high speed internet is down".
I went and looked at my Network preferences and it shows Ethernet connected which is the Vonage Adapter and gives the following:
IP Address: 169.254.163.167
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Is there something Im doing wrong? Ive seen on several forums that its possible to do but having bad luck. Any help is appreciated.

All I know is that I got Ubuntu to share internet and offer IPs through DHCP by using Firestarter. I am very new to Solaris, however, and am looking forward to learning about it. I've just made it my regular desktop environment. Long as you can get Solaris to configure its network interface with DHCP after your Ubuntu is configured, you should be able to share to as many clients as you'd like. Fedora also works well for that, and in my opinion, it's a better Linux than Ubuntu, though Solaris remains a better Linux than Linux, right? Har.

How do i get an internet connection from my Mac to my iPad using a usb cable?

I have a Mac connected to the internet through a modem. However, i also want my iPad to share this connection through the usb cable. Is this possible? If not, is there any other way i can get my iPad to share the internet connection from my Mac?

It look like you can turn your mac into a hotspot and connect your ipad to it via wifi.

How to internet browsing from the wifi.....not from my service provider.

i want to know how to internet browsing from the wifi connection not from the "DATA SERVICE" when i off my data service from mobile network option then i can't able to surf.........my wifi connection is on and connected.
Thanks guys....

Do not turn off the Data Services. Just turn off your mobile network connection in the Manage Connections screen.
Go to Options > Advanced > Browser and set your browser to Hotspot, and save. Now, use the browser with the Wifi connection for surfing the internet.

How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

You can't use the wifi card to do both connect to a wifi network and then use the wifi card as a wifi hotspot. You'll need to connect the mac by ethernet and then you can set the wifi card as a hotspot.
