Windows 7 won't connect to internet with BT Fon or...

Sorry if this has already been done, but I've searched for an hour & can't find my solution.
Windows 7 is security-conscious to the point of paranoia. I assume this is the reason it won't sign on to the open services! I get a 'connected' message, followed by 'internet not available'. At no point am I offered a login, and there's nothing in the settings about it.
I bought this laptop so I can travel with it - I need it to recognise Fon and Openzone points wherever they're available, and log itself on. Just like my Blackberry does ...
This has to be a matter of overriding some settings (and perhaps adding a new one). Can someone advise, please?

Hi. Welcome to the forums
My desktop Win 7 connects to FON (I pick the BTOpenzone connection), and when I then try a google, I get presented with a login page. If you aren't seeing the login page, then perhaps you can type in directly :-
https://www.btopenzone.com:8443
and choose the BTBroadband option entering your primary email address and associated passsword.

  • Windows laptop won't connect to internet using airport express connection

    Hi. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I set up airport express on my imac g5 so I could share the internet with my windows laptop. I have a wireless notecard plugged into my laptop (802.11gg)--the laptop recognizes a wireless network with my imac no problem. I'm able to access the internet with my imac, but my laptop can't. I have a cable modem with the ethernet cable attached to airport express. I set up the wireless network using wep. Am I missing something? Please help! Thanks!

    I had a similar issue this morning. My problem was my password. Apple will allow short passwords with wep encryption. Other manufacturer's don't.
    "The multiplatform issue
    Being an older protocol, WEP password treatment was not implemented uniformly by all wireless hardware and operating system manufacturers. Some products require users to enter relatively cryptic hexadecimal characters (four bits each), while others allow "plain language" password entry. A plain language password, like "apple", uses standard ASCII characters that are 8 bits each.
    Products that allow plain language (ASCII) password entry may not force the network administrator to create 5- or 13-character passwords that would result in the required 40 (5*8) and 104 (13*8) bit-length passwords. Instead, they use a "hashing" routine to convert an odd-length password to the correct bit length. The multiplatform issue arises when the hashing results of products from two different manufacturers don't match each other. The resulting "network equivalent passwords," which are always given in hexadecimal format, are different."
    In my case I made the password 13 characters long and everything works fine now.

  • Mac Mini won't connect to internet with airport

    Hello All,
    I have a three year old Mac Mini 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo at my office.  We all use macs and connect to the internet using a Time Capsule (Simultaneous Dual Band II).  Everyone else's computers are connecting to the internet and working just fine, but my computer constantly keeps failing to connect properly.  I have to continually reboot my computer to get access.  It will connect and stay connected for a little while, but then quit working all of a sudden again.  I would say it disconnects about 10-15 times during the day.  When I open up the diagnostic utility, it shows the following:
    Airport - Green Light
    Airport Settings - Green Light
    Network Settings - Green Light
    ISP - Failed
    Internet - Failed
    Server - Failed
    Whenever I start having problems, everyone else's computers are connected and working just fine. I cannot figure out what the problem is and why my computer keeps showing that i'm connected, but won't let me access the internet.  This problem just started a few weeks ago, but it is getting worse because it is starting to happen more frequently.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    With the information that you have provided in your post, it seems clear that the Time Capsule, which is providing the wireless network, is working just fine, providing a good wireless signal to the area. Since that's the case, there is really not any adjustment or change to the Time Capsule that we can recommend.
    You might look for sources of wireless interference like cordless phones or other electronics that may be in close proximity to the Mac Mini, or obvious obstructions in the signal path, particularly any metal objects like a filing cabinet or shelving system.
    Other than that, we would recommend that you post in the Mac Mini forum for some possible answers, or the forum for the operating system that you are running on the Mac Mini. Start here and select the area(s) that you need.
    https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
    It's always possible of course, that the wireless card in the Mac Mini is failing, or the internal antenna connector has an intermittment connection, but we'll leave that diagnosis to the experts in the forums for the Mac Mini or your operating system.
    If we missed something that would point to the Time Capsule as the source of connection problems with the Mac Mini, please let us know.

  • Windows XP won't connect to Internet via Time Capsule AE

    I've got a MacBook Pro and MacBook using Airport Extreme via Time Capsule. I recently partitioned MacBook Pro and added Windows XP via Boot Camp. The XP sees the Airport but cannot connect. I've added the same key to XP as used for Mac access, but it still doesn't connect.
    Its a WPA2 Personal Key. XP allows WEP, WPA, and WPA-??? (there are three other letters there that are NOT "2" or "Personal"). It allows one of two "types" that are TKIP or AS? (Three letters that I can't remember.) I'm completely lost.
    I also tried changing channels, but that's frustrating unless I just change from the PC end. I had been changing them on the Mac, then rebooting to XP to see what happens. (Nothing, so far.)
    Has anyone successfully gotten XP on the Wireless?

    XP wireless to a Time Capsule works fine. Problem is, as you've found, choosing the right wireless security, then entering the key in the right format.
    Because of this problem in mixed OS X / XP networks, I've stuck with WEP. It's less secure, but it works!
    I live in a rural area, so wireless security isn't really an issue.
    Try reconfiguring your TC to use WEP. Once you've got it working, investigate the other security options.

    If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

    My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.
    I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
    Thanks

    A couple of other things you might like to try :-
    - Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ?  Can you access the Windows 8 store ? )   If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection.  If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
    - Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
    - Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
    - As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
    As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall. 
    One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did.  I'm using it now !

  • Mac Mini won't connect to internet using Apple products (Safari, iTunes, AppStore). Date and time are frozen to the moment CPU is booted up. Firefox works. Cannot update.

    For the past few days my Mac Mini has been having issues.
    Safari won't connect to internet, but Firefox does.
    Time and date are frozen. Only resets when copmuter is re-booted.
    Unable to update via App Store and iTunes won't connect either.
    Please advise.

    Hi again,
    Let me ask for some better help for you that is familiar with this problem (if in fact it is a similar problem with the IP address and your ISP.
    The other topic concerning this can be found at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2725608
    It is a somewhat lengthy thread but may just apply to your situation.
    Anyways I will see if I can call on some better help for you. Hang in there. Best to arm yourself with enough info before contacting Comcast so they might know what you are dealing with fully.
    littleshouders
    edit: I have posted for some extra help for you that may have a better idea of what's going on if it is your ISP and their modem and how it handles the IP address causing Safari and iTunes not to connect. Hang in there it may take awhile but I'm sure someone will pop in to help.

  • How to enable a disabled iPod that won't connect to internet

    trying to enable my disabled 5th generation iPod touch. I have tried connecting to iTunes on the computer, which I couldn't get it to do anything. I then tried using the "Find my iPhone" website and erased the iPod. However, I got a message that says "This iPod will be erased when it connects to the internet". How do I connect a disabled/locked iPod to the internet/wifi while it is waiting to be erased because it won't connect to internet/wifi?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will ???

    Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will???
    Wierdest thing. For some reason Safari won't browse or connect to the internet anymore. When I open Safari the default address is in URL bar, but with highlighted (words only) in blue and it just sits there all day. I can't connect to any web site on the net.
    However, if I open Firefox all is fine and my Mail is all fine also.
    I've repaired permissions a few times and even trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer etc, but it still refuses to actually display anything. I get a blank white page, then after about 2 minutes it simply says "Safari can't open the page. Because the server stopped responding".
    As I said, no problem with Firefox.
    Any ideas.

    I thank you for getting me into the right ball-park otherwise I would not have spotted it.
    You're welcome. Glad I could help.
    Please consider marking this post "helpful" next to my name ((you'll need to log-on to the forum).

  • IPad air won't connect to internet

    new air,  128 gb.  Unusable.  Won't connect to wif with consistencyi.  Won't load on new mail unless  I power off first.  Even then,  it takes forever despite ultra high speed connection. (old iPad works fine). Can't navigate to links from sites or between pages,  will say "server not responding.  Can't even move within pages of a site.
    what do I do?  900$ down the drain?

    You do know it comes with a 1 year warranty, right?
    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    If that doesn't work you can try a Restore from your Backup and then Restore as new if that fails. And if none of that works use your warranty and get it serviced.
