Does anyone know the secret of connecting a laptop to Auckland Libraries' WIFI? My Android devices are fine but my Lubuntu laptop just won't. It connects, I get a DHCP address, but it doesn't register with Tomizone so all requests are blocked. I can't get it to go to the Tomizone portal so I can't do anything. Last time I tried it I sent a support request to Tomizone and got zero response. I just sent another one.
It worked about a year ago if I fiddled with the DNS settings, but not any more.
Maybe someone knows the current trick?

@rogerparkinson I canΚΌt even connect a Windows laptop to Wellington libraries (which are Microsoft, I think) but like you, Android is fine. If I have to work from a library, I choose Porirua, where it works with Windows. I have an awful feeling this is the state of libraries not being able to afford decent tech that works with us all.
@jackyan Auckland libraries seem to be consistent across the region here, probably heroic efforts by badly paid people. When I say consistent I mean I've tried 3 libraries and run into the same issue πŸ™ƒ but they all go through Tomizone and they all give me 500Gb/device/day (assuming I can connect).
I mostly use it when I'm waiting for a car service.
