I just upgraded from 7100 to 8120 - yes, I am few years behind, but it is OK with me.

Now, my house has a Wifi, we use it a lot. Linksys router (b), DSL via Verizon - you got the picture.

My 8120 will successfully connect to the Wifi, including IP address - but the internet via browser can not be accessed and pings either PC -> BB or BB -> PC expire out. The browser error message says: "Unable to find the requested server"

To start troubleshooting I stopped at Paneras and Borders and in both places the BB found the network, logged into it and never allowed any surfing. The message says


Yesterday I stopped at a friends house, and I was able to log in a network of some of their neighbor(they live in a cul-de-sac) and get to the internet just fine. It showed just one bar of a signal, but it was reasonably fast.

Aside from stealing somebody's bandwidth - which is bad - I am not sure what the conclusion should be. I am inclined to believe that the only network I was able to hook up to was Wifi(g), but in that case the Paneras and Borders experience does not make sense. Since I was able to hook up to some network, my phone setting is OK.

Advice, anybody? And no, I am not ready to go knocking on the door of the whole cul-de-sac yet and ask about their Wifi network setup

Happy New Year, btw.

And the saga continues. I was able to connect and surf the internet in local Starbucks At Chick-file the BB connected, but the browser returned and error - different one than before. This is gonna be one interesting research.

Same town, different Starbucks, this one does not connect. LOL! Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot?

Logged in public school network and finally figured out my home network. All it needs is this:

After I find the network and log into it I have to click on Wi-Fi Hotspot Login. Thats all it takes to be able to use the (b) network in my home. I didn't try it sooner, because the comments for that button says:

Many Wi-Fi "hotspots" require registration (e.g. Credit card)

Which I considered irrelevant since it is my own home network.

Anyway, all is good, I use my BB at home now as a quick check on email and weather and such.

THANK YOU! guys, I could never do it without your support and advice! Thanks!

Glad it worked and you figured it out. A lot of times I do not answer if I have nothing to say, and that's why people might view but not answer to your post.
