All of a sudden I can no longer connect to public hotspots with my NX80/WL100. I can still use T-Zones at Starbuck's, but I'm wondering what in tarnation happened to the freebies? Each time I try to connect, it goes through, but when I try to load a website I get an "invalid network settings" error? Could someone please tell me what the proper settings are again?

Where are you trying to connect to? I've noticed that some of them have changed SSIDs. The one I connect to in Madison Park is listed on nycwireless.org as having the SSID of NYCwireless, but is actually www.nycwireless.net. (I had to use my laptop to scope this out...)

This is where auto discovery or a stumbler would be handy...

Drachen, you may be right. I was trying to connect downtown by Pier 17 - an NYCWireless-sponsored hotspot... I'll give it another shot the next time I'm down there for business.
Larry - exactly! It's a shame that Sony didn't include a sniffer on the NXs.
