Hi,

I have done my best to go through as many threads as possible but have not yet found the solution to my problem so thought I'd try starting a new thread. (Note this is the first time I have posted -ever - so if I do something wrong - sorry!).

I have a BB 9000 and am trying to get it to work on my wireless network. It connects to the network, I can ping the BB from my laptop, the BB can ping google correctly. However, when I load a browser and try to go to a web site I get the following error message "Unable to connect to the Internet, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your service provider".

I have tried to set the "Browser" from "Internet browser" to "Hotspot Browser" as I read this on another post. However even after selecting "save options" it reverts back to "internet browser".

Some other random information:

- Router: Billion 7404
- Security: WEP
- I have connected the following devices successfully to my wifi network: several laptops, media centre PC, iPod touch, mate's iPhone
- All I can see in the router logs is that the device has connected (the MAC address is listed and it says "associated")
- I have noticed that sometimes the little green tick next to the "Wi-Fi <network name>" goes away and then comes back. The network is still up at this time as I can connect via laptop etc.

I have spent hours trying to get this to work as I want to get my gmail working on my phone via my Wi-Fi connection.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

emma

you need to change it to hotspot in:
options - advanced - browser.
change the first option to hotspot.
save.

then try.

(oh one odd side affect was the little green tick next to my wifi network in connections has disappeared but it seems to work so I'm not complaining....)

Do you have a BB data plan?
