Wireless hotspot access via Windows Mobile 2003

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Dear Wise Friends,

I have an HP iPAQ 5555 running windows 2003. At home (or if I'm out and
about and able to pirate someone else's wireless network) I have no problems
connecting. However, if I try to sign on to a wireless hotspot (e.g.
swisscom eurospot or BT openzone) the machine seems to connect OK, but on
opening Pocket Internet Explorer I am unable to open any page (including the
hotspot provider's sign-on page): the error message is "The page cannot be
found". This is a mite frustrating.

Is this a PIE problem ? I have tried fiddling with every setting I can
find, to no avail. Is it a SSL/scripts problem ?

Anyone know a workaround ? I could use NetFront but it's a lot slower than
PIE.

Have a good day!

It worked fine for me at Mineappolis airport (not what I'd call the
moslt salubrious spot for wifi browsing) - it just connected to
'concourse' and I could browse all the airline info pages and airport
maps.

Cheers, hope it works out - Neil
