Can you access the internet through a wired connection?

Have you checked the internet settings on your router are correct?

What about the internet explorer options in the lan setup part, do you have it set to auto detect?

Truth be told I have no experience of wireless outside of my home wireless network and all it takes for me to access the internet is to have the router configured properly and to have the correct login.

As you are using free to air networks I do not think those matter and seeing as you can use other apps then clearly it has to be IE.

Don't know what else to try really, perhaps download firefox :lol:
