getting online in Peets Coffee

Try forgetting the Peets network in System Preferences. Turn off Airport. Then turn it back on and reconnect.

I have had this same problems at Peets. I have tried Mountain View Castro, Los Altos El Camino and Palo Alto Middlefield. No connection at any of these locations but works fine everywhere else. I will try your remedy and see what happens. Thomas

Have you changed your DNS servers? Many public networks will not connect you unless you are using their (default) DNS servers.

I'm having the exact same issue, and oddly enough it started 3 weeks ago as well. It has to be something at Peet's (same issue at Peet's in LA and Newport Beach). I've tried changing everything on my connection settings and it still won't work, but when I go to Starbucks, no problems.

It really ***** because I would much rather enjoy Peet's coffee than Starbucks "warm brown water" 😟

I tried your solution and no success.

In regards to this problem starting 3 weeks ago. I don't think this is a Peets problem. They have not changed their routers/modems. The problem which began 3 weeks ago was after a Mac system upgrade.

I think you're right about the system upgrade, so the question is...how do I go back to the old version? I tried time machine and it didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated because now I can't even get online at starbucks...please don't make me go to the Coffee Bean...blah

I think your wrong about Starbucks. I again today got on there just find. But just tried Peets again with no luck. However just to confound this discussion, an Apple user at Middlefield Peets just told me he has no problem with their wifi. What OS are you running? Also it would be good for this entire thread if everyone posted their dialog box when they can't get online. Mine says "cannot connect to server." What does your dialog box say when you can't get online at Peets?
Also I should say that my Iphone connects to the wifi at Peets just fine.
