Harry when I had my Touch I found that there is a whole bunch of Wireless signals that really aren't for internet connections. Example HP has wireless printers that send out a signal that Looks like a basic wifi connection but is only good for printing.
What Lee is saying is go to the Settings> Wi-Fi Networks and you can see what type of signal you are getting and if there is a connection. If you look at this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 You see that the router has given the iPhone all the info it needs to get to the internet. If you looked at the connection where you could not access the internet the Info would be missing. For many public free wifi connections I always fire up the safari browser and accept Their conditions for using the connection before I do anything. Example: Panera bread you must sign in before and accept before they give you a connection. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harry Jacobson-Beyer Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 4:32 PM To: Macusergroup Subject: [MacGroup] iPod touch and wireless I was out and about with my iPod touch today. I was able to connect to an "unsecured" wireless network, ie, there was no lock associated with the network. The wireless connection was strong, it showed multiple bars, yet when I tried to check email or open up a web page I received a message saying unable to connect to mail host or, in the case of safari, I was told Safari was not connected to the internet. I'm at home now and connected to my home wireless network and, at least in the case of Safari, I am able to connect to the internet. Any clues as to why I couldn't connect while out and about? Thanks. Harry _______________________________________________ The next Louisville Computer Society meeting will be November 25 at MacAuthority, 128 Breckinridge Lane.
