[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 414213, member: 24098"] Are you getting an IP address once you connect? You can check this by going into System Preferences => Network => Select AirPort from the Show field and then click the TCP/IP tab. If there is an IP address displayed, you are indeed connected to the network. If that's the case, it might be that they're using a Proxy server to relay requests to/from the Internet. You'll need to use a browser that can automatically detect a proxy server (Safari doesn't have this ability). Use Firefox instead and check the following box: Firefox menu => Preferences => Advanced => Network tab => Settings => Auto-detect Proxy settings for this network. Restart Firefox and try again.
