Just switched from the Palm Pre and my new Samsung Epic has had no modifications. I can connect to my wifi at home no problem but when I try it at work it connects but I am unable to use any internet functions.

My office is surrounded by concrete so I do not get any phone signal and I rely on the wifi to use my phone. With my pre, the wifi network was found and when I launched the browser I get a screen where I have to say yes to the "acceptable practices" of the work wifi. On the Epic I connect to the wifi (says connected in the wifi settings) but the "acceptable practices" screen does not pop up despite refreshing multiple times. All I get is "page cannot be displayed". Am I missing a setting or extra step needed?
 
I would talk to your IT dept. they would be the best at helping you with their specific network set-up.
 
It works without issue on my pre and everyone's blackberry and my mac laptop. Sounds like a phone issue not an IT issue.
 
I downloaded Firefox and it works just fine but not a big fan of this mobile version - like I can't figure out how to bookmark anything. So, the wifi problem looks to be something in the default browser settings but I have yet to figure out what that is yet.
