WiFi hotspot problem

    I've been trying to connect to various hotspots at work/cafes etc but when I try to open any webpage it gives the usual Explorer can't display this page message. It's a new belkin 54g card and I've installed and set it up correctly afaik. I get a list of various hotspots available and connect to whichever I want. It assigns me an ip address and says i'm connected. i've disabled my ethernet connection when i'm using it and followed all the instructions. Anything else i should be doing?

    I wouldn't get caught up disabling you ethernet con. As long is it isn't pluged in it wont matter. Double check that you have the WiFi conection setup for DHCP. When you login to the Hotspot try ping the default gateway and the DHCP server (may or may not work depending on the hotspot).

    Have you got it working on any wireless LAN?

    I think I've tried it on 3 different LANs. One may have been private so I'm not worried about that. It said I was connected to all of them though. Every single setting I can think of is correct. DHCP. Infrastructure access points. I'm sending and receiving packets but nothing works. The one at work requires a user name and password once you open explorer and arrive on the home page but i'm not getting that far. is there any setting in XP or unchecking some security feature i don't know about?
