iPod touch can't access public wifi

[newmacuser13]

We have WiFi in a public park across from my office that I am able to connect to with a laptop. No encryption. The iTouch see the access point, asks to connect to it, connects, but then once safari starts it says it cannot find the server. I suspect the problem is that when I connect on a laptop, it brings me to a first page where I have to agree to terms (no porn) and that intermediate step is somehow not displaying on the iTouch. Good strong signal.

Anyone else experience this problem? Is there a workaround

make sure www is in the url bc the itouch does not put that prefix in sometimes.. or maybe ur not putting the prefix in.

Nope, that's not the issue. For example, I try to access a bookmarked site and it doens't find the server, same bookmark on another access point works fine. I am able to use other access points, including home, just not this one particular free public site (and only unable with iTouch, access just fine with MacBook).

maybe the website uses flash or something.

same problem here

I get that message too in places where i have a full signal. It's not a www thing. It show i'm connected with a check mark yet i can't get into anything.
