1405702 2015-08-03 00:13:00 Ive had problems with win 7 and hotspots as well sorry to say havn't found a fix connects fine at home though. Doesnt matter which browser I use. beama (111)
1405703 2015-08-03 00:15:00 Argggg!! ZoneAlarm......

That could be the problem actually, whether it's on OR off!


I'd suggest getting rid of it completely just use windows firewall and a good av (Eset Nod32 if you can pay for one)

You may well find your connection problems disappear along with zonealarm if you do

Again, I used a clean install of Windows & with nothing else on the laptop. Zonealarm was not installed. I just stated that I did use Zonealarm before.

1405705 2015-08-03 01:40:00 does it happen on any other machines you use, or just that one? nmercer (3899)

Just that laptop. Other laptop is fine. One thing though. Was out today and was able to connect to a Spark wifi connection near a phone box. Wasn't able to do that before reinstall, so getting better, but still can not connect at a couple of cafes (I tried on way home).

Cheers,
Sean.
