Have you tried pulling up safari while on that network? You don't say there's a login. Sometimes they won't pop up. After checking the wifi settings, or manually joining, I was told to pull up safari when joining the network at our school. It worked ever since. Thanks to folks here in the forums.

no,but spoke to a tech and he says it may be a setting on the routers.

Well you said that others join fine and you can't. I don't know of a setting like that on a router unless it is approved by macaddress or timed access. Like I said, I tried this opening safari recommend and it helped me login. I had to wait a bit but it came on after pulling safari. If its a login, you just need the network ID and password in your wifi settings.

Ask the IT tech at work to reset the router, it may solve the problem.
