Hi there, when I'm on my laptop, I have a hard time connecting to WIFI when I'm at a sandwich shop that will remain nameless. Below is the error message I receive instead of being taken to the web.
Now, at this same shop, my phone connects just fine. So it would seem like the issue is with my laptop and not with the WIFI being provided. But wait there is more.
Even more interestingly, this same laptop connects just fine at my home, and just fine at any and every Starbucks.
Now here is the error message, and thanks for any suggestions you have:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
