Losing my (free WiFi) connection
October 22, 2010 10:38 AM Subscribe
When I start a wifi session (at a coffee shop for instance), the bubble will say "additional login may be required" which, when I open a web page, is just an "I accept" disclaimer. BUT, when I have to turn off the computer (reboot for windows update, go to the bathroom, etc) and then try to re-establish contact, it won't work. I can't get connected and I can't get the login screen. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work but it just seems like I have to come back the next day.
Any tricks to get me back on?
Open your web browser and open any web page, and you should be redirected to the login page, if necessary.

Typically, you'll be redirected to the login page but that screws up sometimes. In that case, I'd try clearing out the cache or using a different browser.

Response by poster: I tried to delete and reconnect and that didn't help.
Opening the web page didn't help.
I'll try the clear cash / different browser and see....
