I bought my gtab about a week ago and have it running nicely with Vegan. I had some trouble with the market but thanks to this forum got it working
Here is my last real problem. I work at a hotel. We have wifi for our guests which redirects you to a login page when you open your browser. It does not require a password you just have to click a button to accept the terms. Until you do this you have no internet connection. I can connect and even pick up an IP address but it will not go to the authentication page thus no internet. I have tried manually entering the URL for the login page and have also tried the IP address for the login page. I have tried setting a static IP with he correct gateway and DNS addresses. I have even tried the wifi web login app. Nothing works.
Any ideas how I can get this working?

I assume you've tried installing different browsers?

I have tried the stock browser, Dolphin HD, Firefox, and Fennec. I am going to try Opera today. Has anyone had luck with any particular browser?
Hi,
I think some systems like hotel-provided WIFI work by setting a proxy into the browser. If that is the case with your situation, it may require a different kernel, plus an app. Search this forum for "proxy", e.g.:

Okay dumb question of the day. How would I determine if this wifi connection uses a proxy or not?
When I connect from my computer and run a tracert the first hop is the gateway and the second hop is always 192.168.50.1. Would that be the proxy?
I am Currently connected to this wifi with my laptop and I am not behind a proxy. I tried installing the Kernel referenced in the link you provided and also installed transproxy according to the thread still no go.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this thing to connect. My wifi indicator is on shows I am connected but no internet.
I've had my gtab connected on hotel wifi, and similarly on airport wifi. If I recall, the redirected confirm page opened in a second tab in the background but was not put in focus. I had to manually switch to citing the TnT browser. If that's not it also look for a floating frame within the same window. I've seen this show up way off to the side, really had to scroll around to find it.
Just checked this no go. I am getting the unable to connect page on every browser I try. I did not see any other tabs popping up either.
Okay so I sent an email to the tech support for our wifi network. They responded and said Adnroid devices have trouble with DHCP because of their network and that it should work if I set a static ip. Now the problem is how do I set a static IP in Vegan. I have tried the app Static IP and it doesnt' seem to wan to work.
Nevermind just figured it out.
Okay for those that are interested or may search and find this thread later. I never would have guessed that would fix it but using a static IP address solved the problem. Thanks to those who tried to help

I'm using my Siemens SX56 to try and log on to the internet with Cingular Wireless Internet (not the GPRS), after dialing up, I was connected but everytime I tried to log on Pocket IE and browse, it says "The Page Cannot Be Found" something like that. I searched and tried everything that people posted but it still didn't work, any ideas how to fix this?
do you have to setup dns servers? to find out if it is dns related, try to browse to a sites ip address instead of hostname. for example try, http://205.152.121.3

still the same thing... I have feeling its not dns related.
Running Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3, finally managed to get this thing to talk to the local network here at work (it's PEAP authenticated, TnT Lite won't see it).
Now I'm running into the issue of not being able to access local intranet sites with my browser. Instead if just takes me to google search.
Running Dolphin HD right now. Any ideas? I'd really like to use this tablet at work to access the local intranet. If it won't do it, that's going to be a problem.
I would download the program ipconfig from the market and make sure you are getting the correct ip information on your network. Getting the incorrect DNS server can cause this issue. You can also downlond ping from the market and try to ping the internal web address. Just a troubleshooting step that I would starti with.
I was able to ping it using the Terminal Emulator, so that is working at least.
Well...I am getting my Gtab deliverred via fedex tomorrow and will be able to test my local intranet sites with the same setup and hopefully be a little more helpful. I will keep you posted with what I find,
Ok, I was wrong, I can't ping. I was pinging a server that is exposed on the external internet (Oops). The internal-only servers are unreachable. The DNS servers, though, are correct.
This is interesting.
From home I can access my work email through Exchange for Android, no problems. However now that I'm online at work and on the internal network, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's on the internal intranet now instead of trying to route to it through the internet.
I suspect that, while Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP supports PEAP, it doesn't really support PEAP.
A large number of corporate networks use a proxy server; check into that.

This one doesn't, as far as I can tell.
My iPhone connects to it fine, other people are able to access it with iPads and Android phones.
I'd ask IT for help, but we're technically not supposed to be using it.

Had the same problem and it turned out to be the Proxy settings.
Got it working.
Now running VEGAn 5.11 and it connects just fine. Not having the issues with the email anymore, either. However some of the intranet sites only pull up if I know the IP directly, apparently the browser has a hard time with port redirection on the URL (it doesn't care for 'evolutionsc:8080' very much at all).
Now I just need to find a browser that can handle JIRA without formatting issues.

I seem to be having the same problem but I honestly don't know how to update the proxy settings for my work network (which does use a proxy server). I'm using Vegan 511, anyone know how to specify a proxy server for the network connection to use? I can't find anything in the wireless&network settings area.
Does anyone know of a good app for setting different network/proxy settings per wifi connection? I need a proxy setup for one wifi network and not for another but I don't see anyway to make that setting permanent in UnNamed ROM so time for an app.
It would be great if the app also had per-app proxy settings or intelligent features like FoxyProxy.
I use Auto Proxy for the WIFI at my office. It lets me set it so that it will only connect to the proxy if a certain subnet.
Thanks. I'm actually watching that thread currently. It looks promising but it has one major problem for me.....no proxy.pac support yet.
Any other programs?
There seems to be a solution to the .pac issue here
Thanks for the link. That helps determining what happens in the pac file.
I've tried Autoproxy and ProxyDroid using what I found in the pac file but neither is working quite right for me. They say they're connected but then I'm unable to actually browse anywhere through the default web browser or Dolphin HD. Market place also doesn't work.
I pinged the server name from my computer where the pac file says it's going and got the IP address. I then used the IP address from the pac file to fill in the host destination and port info. It's weird because it says it's connected but traffic doesn't flow. There isn't any authentication that I'm aware of so I'm stuck on what to try next.
Does anyone know of a good external proxy that's safe and reliable that I can do some testing with?

Knips178, try the newest version of Autoproxy. If your network is on a windows domain, it may be using your domain username and password as NTLM authentication, so you can also try that with the IP address you extracted from the proxy.pac
Ok, my workplace has a wireless network with an internet content filter called "optenet". I know the wireless network's SSID and Password. When I open my stock browser I can't access any web pages what-so-ever but I have found that by using the Opera Mini Browser that I can access all webpages. But no other internet apps will work (XDA app, YouTube app, etc.)
My question is... Is there some method of allowing my phone to completely bypass this filter? Whether I'm on the stock browser, youtube app, etc.?
Anyone...?

I would think that since your stock browser is running off the APN (carrier) that if you set up a new APN called "workAPN" or something like that and instead of putting in your carrier's proxy and server settings, you put in the settings of your workplace it should work. Get your wifi's ip address and see if you can pull the settings from there or buy the IT guy lunch and see if he'll tell ya.
Opera most like runs from a different mobile server to route you to the mobile pages and their links. The stock browser runs through your mobile network/wifi with those proxy/server settings.
I might be way off but sounds good to me. If it doesn't work, you can always just delete the workAPN you created. Might want to check into setting up a VPN too. Not sure how those work.

Haha, if it were only as easy as to buy the IT guy a sandwich. Anyways I'm still not sure I completely understand. How would I go by getting my workplace's WiFi settings from its IP address...

@Woodrube Also, how's that battery saving guide coming along?
Pretty sure if you put the IP address in your browser bar and hit enter, it will go to the router settings and you should be able to pull it off there. That is what I did awhile ago when I bought a wifi from a garage sale. Since you are on corporate, might be a little tougher b/c of security and such but I be it could be done. Check out this for a rough idea to get into the settings page.

I have some similar experience, my brother installed a web filter on my computer when I was young, and I resetted my computer in order to delete the web filter. It's really complicated.
Similar problem here.
At school the wifi is good I know password it let's us on normally used websites but not on things like xda. All proxies are blocked as well. I'm going To do a bit more searching right after this research paper is done. I'll let you know if i find anything at all.

You guys can always run SSHTunnel on your phones and a sshd on a computer at home to tunnel through any content filtering system. You can find it Here

ok edit again:
I'm confused, what do i input for the host box? P.S. i do not have a data connection, so I use Wifi and only wifi at school.

You need to have another computer running a SSH server and this program connect to the SSH Server, and routes all traffic on your phone through the tunnel. Here is a primer on SSH Tunneling "howtogeek.com/wiki/How_to_Use_SSH_Tunneling" and how it works.

The link should be a lot more clear now. If you don't have a computer running at home 24/7 you can also get a free shell that allows you to run background process' and tunnel through that. And to look for free shells you can take a look at "shells.red-pill.eu"

Howdy all. I have a wifi at home which works with web authentication i.e. you connect your phone to wifi and on opening a browser, it redirects you to an authentication site wherein upon entering your username and password, you get connected. The authentication page requires you to keep the tab open and work with another tab, otherwise you lose the connection. When working on a PC, it works like a charm. I keep the tab open and wifi sticks for long even when you're not active. But on a smartphone (I have a Galaxy S3 here), it's a living hell trying to keep it stay connected. I've tried keeping the browser app resident in memory, created a tasker script to browse the URL and reconnect on certain intervals which honestly is too tedious and needs a better solution, used wifi web login apps which don't work to my satisfaction i.e. don't connect just when connection is lost; but in all these cases, the connection just seems to disconnect making me reconnect time and again :/. I would be utterly grateful to anybody who could suggest a solution for me for this as this is seriously making me lose my sleep.

Dunno much about wifi security protocols but this is as my ISP provided. I've tried modifying the router protocols but nothing seem to make the web authentication go away.

it could be the provider is forcing it, have you tried another router? normally, the web authentication is a proxy, so that could be the modem, or at the provider's end

Don't think the router has anything to do with this. Only the provider URL loads in the browser for authentication. So yeah, would know if it had something to do with the router.
