    With my phone unplugged (Not tethered), I can connect to the WIFI but do not have internet access.

    Tomorrow I will be moving to a different campground that has free WIFI and I will try there and see if I have the same problem.

    I will post the results.
    I use my Droid and PDAnet all the time, works fine for me when needed. PLease keep us informed when you get to the new campground.

    I stayed at that campground for a few days but could not get reliable WIFI connection to be sure of what was happening. Some times I could connect and others I could not.

    Today I moved to another campground that has better WIFI and I am able to get connected to the Internet. I will keep trying the WIFI here to see if everything is OK.

    I will post again tomorrow or the next day with the latest results.

    Found out yesterday that I could not send an email thru the WIFI, but I could send one when I disconnected from the WIFI and used my tethered smart phone.

    Still not sure what the problem is, but I will keep looking.

    No outgoing mail... that could just due to many ISPs that do not allow mail forwarding through their systems.

    What do you use for mail... outloook, thunderbird, or?

    At least you know that the issue is not your PC and was the old campground.

    I am now at another campground that has WIFI with a strength of-60/-65 dBm.

    I can get connected to the WIFI, but Internet access comes and goes.

    I tried to sent this message earlier, but lost Internet access as I clicked send.

    The signal strength is good so I am sure it is something to do with my PC. This is the same problem I had at the last two campgrounds so I am sure it is not something at all the WIFI locations. The only common thing is my PC.

    Still looking for an answer.

    Will post when I get an message that I have Internet. Otherwise I will tether my phone and send that way.

    I am now at a location that does not have WIFI so I can only use my phone.

    Based on that, I am going to mark this thread as solved as I can not test any more ideas.

    Thanks for all the suggestions.
