[maemo-users] Connecting to WIFI routers with dynamically-assigned IP addresses

[paule at certrex.net (Paule Ecimovic)]

Hi, All

    I am still getting the Connecting to <SSID> via a local IP address
followed by a red "?" when connecting to unencrypted publically-accessible
WIFI hotspots using Internet Tablet OS 2006. I didn't used to have this
problem with ITOS 2005, (but there was not VOIP in that OS). Connecting over
a mobile phone via bluetooth works fine, (albeit even 384 kbaud doesn't
match WIFI 10baseT or 100baseT broadband.)  It doesn't seem to be router
specific. Every WIFI router I tried resulted in the same state. Has anyone
posted or does anyone know of a standard fix to this problem?

Cheers,

    Paule
