hmmm, you shouldn't have to change anything.
try a different browser.
i use opera 9.6
hopefully that will solve the problem.

hmmmm that didn seem to work either. any other suggestions

some things allow connection, but you need proxy settings etc to access the network

Thanks for helpin out bendy,
I have only had limited wifi usage on phones,
well to be exact like two weeks worth of usage,
and then I got a different phone.

ok so i done some searching i found a forum that had some suggestions, the forum is http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-U ... 7491c48fd1 , and the settings that should be used according to the one guy there is

Menu > Settings > Connections > Browser Connection > Put a check on the box Automatically detect settings. The Select Network is greyed out.

Menu > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced Tab > Click Select Networks > Set both drop-down boxes to My Work Network

Menu > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters Tab > My network card connects to: WORK


I have not tested these setings out yet but as soon as i do ill give feedback. hope this helps other omnia users
