Ok so my problem is I can connect to wifi no problem at a hotspot where you dont have to sign in, but on my colleges internet students have to sign in. this is a typical cafe log in screen that will redirect you once you log in. it works fine on my laptop in windows and ubuntu, but on my archos 43(rooted firmware 2.4.19) I am able to connect to the network and it goes through "obtaining ip address", but the just says "disabled". i have tried this on the standard browser and opera mobile, but it wont let me connect. this would not be a big deal, but i have several text books on google books that i cannot access without wifi. sorry for the long post, but i dont want to leave anything out. Thanks for any help
