[QUOTE="esstucke, post: 802727, member: 86614"] I'm having the same kind of problem. My macbook appears to be connected to the public library's wifi (Chicago Public Library). But my Firefox page displays no connection. Same with Safari. I took the advice posted by cwa107 and changed my proxy settings to auto-detect and then restarted. I am still dealing with the same results. I have the same results when I try to do a network diagnostic, it just results in error. One thing strange that I have noticed, despite my macbook's appearance to have connected to the wifi network(and displaying full signal strength), is that it has a self-assigned IP and warns me that it might not be connected to the internet. By the way, I have a similar issue at other public wifi spots such as Panera and Corner bakery. But I have no problem connecting to private wireless networks at friends' houses. Please help! Thank you! [/QUOTE]
