My office has a wifi connection that works as follows.
1. Connect to the network
2. Open Browser
3. Enter username/password on the browser page that loads.
After the above you can browse as you like.
I recently received the xoom 4g LTE and i get through steps 1 and 2 with no problem. Google then loads, and i can search and google returns results. The weird thing is that I cannot type in any urls or navigate to any page google returns. The browser just hangs for a few mins before returning a generic dns error when i try to do either.
Even more bizarre is i can connect to the network on my moto droid (original) phone and have zero issues but cant do the same thing on the tablet.
I know im connecting to the network as i get our company log in page.
I know im being verified as google searches (and i have made sure to search for unique things so im not seeing cache'd results)
Phone works without any issue.
What gives? Any suggestions or tips?
I can turn the wifi off and use the 4g without any problems.
Seems like it is something specific to the xoom wifi setting.
As im at my office, I do not believe a static IP would be an option (as i have read that is a solution to alot of wifi problems)
This connection is used by countless guests daily who are at our building on laptops and phones. I have no idea why my tablet would be any different? Thoughts?
Thanks
