[edit] Fun Met FON!

Sinds vanochtend ben ik de trotse bezitter van een hotspot. Die wordt gemaakt met een La Fonera (een Wifi router van FON) die ik aan mijn internet router heb geprikt. Voortaan kan je in de omgeving van ons huis nu dus toegang tot internet krijgen, MITS je je aangesloten hebt bij de FON community. Ontdekt je mobieltje, iPaq, laptop of wat dan ook een FON-hotspot, log dan in met je FON community account.

Hele korte handleiding:

   Question: I see an Access Point in the area. How can I connect to it?
   Answer:

      1. Check that your wireless device is using FON&'s signal and that it's strong enough.
      2. Check that you're using DHCP in your device:
         a) Click Start>Connect to>Show all connections.
         b) Now double click the Wireless Network Connection icon. Then, click the Properties button.
         Double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
         c) The Obtain an IP address automatically button found on the upper side of the dialog box must be activated.

   Question: Why can't I see the FON Access Portal when I try to connect to a FON Access Point?
   Answer: When you connect to a FON Access Point (beginning with FON_), you should see the FON Access Portal when you type any web address in your browser. If you don't, check that you're connected to the correct network. The correct network is the public one (i.e. the one that begins with FON_).
   Try the following:

      1. You have two options to locate your network.
            1. The easiest one is using the icon you'll see in the figure on the Windows task bar, next to the clock. Double click it and skip to the next step.
            2. If you can't find the network icon, click Start>Connect to>Wireless Network Connection, to open the dialog box. Then, click the View Wireless Networks button. If you aren't connected to a network you won't need to press anything.
      2. Click the Refresh network list button to make sure you're only seeing your La Fonera's networks.
      3. Connect to the network that includes the FON_ prefix.
      4. You might see a dialog box warning you that the network you're connecting to is public and doesn't have a key. Click the Connect Anyway button to continue.

Op http://maps.fon.com/ vind je een kaart (Google Maps) waarop je alle FON hotspots kan zien. Je kan op locatie zoeken. Zo ontdekte ik dat ik in mijn stad nummer 51 ben. Amsterdam: 199; Rotterdam: 142; Den Haag: 147; Utrecht: > 200;
