In hotel and trying to connect to ATT WiFi. Firewall or other mechanism blocking connection.

Hello Lonnie, for the issue network please call your provider company ATT if is not activate the new phone you can not use until the line gets an update; about the wifi connection if you have any internet provider or access to wifi connection just go to the setting on the phone then get connect, maybe need put the username and password of the internet provider or it is open connection wifi as well.

dear matt par, did you try checking if your firewall isnt blocking access to public networks. what firewall/antivirus program do you have installed?

you need togo to your control panel and configure your network connection,or setup new internet connection on your computer.

I would for sure look at the security settings, you more than likely saved the profile from the hotel that may be configured as for example wpa and your home may be wep.... check your security settings to make sure you have the correct configurations, also I would go into your wireless settings and delete the hotels wireless profile. You will be able to see the security being used when you look at the network list that shows your ssid signal at home. please feel free to respond with any questions... I hope this helps and good luck. :)

Are you connected to a WiFI network? You'll need to be in order to access the internet. Some WiFI networks (in hotels, often) allow you to connect but not use the connection unless you pay a fee.
Hope that helped!

If you want to use the same connection from at&t ..you have to download and install the AT&T communication manager for windows & ..and after that make the connection ..
Here is the link ..

If you have the AT&T on a wireless router ..use the wifi .card to connect to the router ...by ..enabling the wifi ..than click on the card icon ..and scan for networks ....When the router is found by name ...click connect ..and thats all..

There are two sides to the WIFI connection. Your computer's adapter and "client" and the location's router and SSID.

Senario 1: You are in a hotel. The computer pops up and says there are wireless networks available. You click on the pop up and it shows a list of sometimes funny name WIFI networks. Let's say you are in a BestWestern Hotel and the list shows bestwestern in the list. You click on the name bestwestern. At this point you will be asked or told on screen that you have to enter a Security key. You call down to the front desk and get the login information. Once entered, you are connected to that WIFI network. In most hotels, you need to then start an Internet Browser screen and agree to use their network.
Senario 2: You are at a friend's house. You turn on your computer and it pops up there are wireless networks available. All of the names are odd sounding and none of them are familiar. One of those networks shows a very strong signal. This network is probably your friends SSID. You can verify this with your friend. At the same time find out what the security key is for the network. Then click on the network name, enter the key and you will have connectivity to the Internet.

Some networks have access lists, where you can connect to the WIFI, but, if your computer is not listed in the router at the location, youstill have no access. This will require the owner of the network to add you PC information to the router to give you access.

call att and have them block the data. If you do this you won't get it will eliminate any data charges. Then you can only use wifi it works great, but the downside is you can't ever get internet without wifi.

Hi!

It is possible that the wifi networking where you connect in the Hotel use the same name of you home wifi network!

Try deleting your wifi profiles and reconnect again.

If you don't know how to delete the wifi profiles let me know and I tell you.

Thanks!

you need to check the settings on your firewall, as this will most likely try to block this incoming signal as a "Threat from an unknown source".
