Using Eircom WiFi hotspots with Nokia+WLAN?

dohouch

Anybody been sucessful with this, seeing as Eircom is giving free access to BB customers untill sometime in April. I have my username and PWD for the hotspots, but so far have not found them where they are supposed to be. I suppose these hot-spots could carry any type of SSID, default, just enumbers, maybe the name of the business where located, etc. I did come acoss a few gateways, 1MB, that didn't have a padlock symbol, but couldn't connect.

Came across following on another forum maybe it applies::

"""""I have no problem attaching my new N82 to my, and friends, home wireless networks. However, it fails to connect to the Univeristy Campus network giving the error: "Web: No gateway reply!"
This is because the phone doesn't correctly process DHCP leases with the 'network of one'' (2545.255.255.255) subnet mask. This mask is commonly used to mitigate the spread of malicious software, such as viruses. You can enter a subnet mask but only if you have a static IP address, unusual on enterprise wireless networks.
The campus are introducing a new wirelss VLAN based on the more secure WPA shared key, but guess what, the N82 doesn't support credential exchange, so I cannot connect to that wireless network. This technology is increasing common as an enterprise solution for secure wireless networking.
Nokia, this is rubbish!""""
So is Nokia's WLAN quite limited in its uses?
Thanks

Just thought I'd bump this up as not getting any feed-back.

Tried this ,conecing, few time yesterday on what appear as unprotected WiFi hotspots, but after a a wait of several minutes, I get "internet server not found"

So has anybody done better, expecially with the official "Eirvcom Hotspots"

thanks
