Hi there
some public wi-fi services require a sign on (even if free) -- for example in the UK in most Weatherspoon's pubs there is a free wi-fi service -- _the cloud_ I think it's called (the underscores are part of the name). You register once and then it works in almost every Weatherspoon's pub I've ever been in - if you can log on. (Weatherspoon's pubs while not the best do have on the whole the CHEAPEST beer in the UK and some actually have some good Guest Ales --rare for a Corporate type of chain whatever people think about that particular organisation -- probably learned more POLISH in one of those places than even on a trip to Poland !!!).

Now - especially on phones sometimes the logon message disappears quickly so you can't get connected to the wi-fi even though the phone says "Connected". -- The same happens on a laptop.

Is there anyway to get the logon screen back again without re-booting or disconnecting from that wi-fi service or re-booting a phone.

This only seems to happen on PC's with IE10 and above. (Happens on W7 and W8 laptops) and phones where the logon notification can disappear so fast you miss it.

Cheers
jimbo
