Starbucks wifi doesn't always work for me

I've been having trouble with my 3G Internet so often I try and use the free ATT wifi at Starbucks.

As often as not, however, it doesn't work for me. I select the wifi and when I try and go to a website I get a gray screen over the whole browser and a spinning thing that says connecting. And then nothing changes.

It isn't just one starbucks. And sometime it works and another day it won't at the same store.

Any ideas?

iMac 2.8 Ghz, 4 GB, Mac OS X (10.5.7), iPhone 3GS 32 GB

Thanks for the info. Before using the app did you have the gray connecting screen?

The strange thing about that app, to mr at least, is that since the 3Gs came out (or was it with the 3.0 software update?) I haven't had to do the multistep SMS login thing. At least when the ATT wifi does work it just logs me in automagically.

At this point I'm still going to go with messed up DNS settings.....
