First post here, did try to look for the answer and was unsuccesful, so I apoligize if this has been posted before.
So this morning just as i always do when I wake up, I booted up my MacBook Pro running Tiger, to check my email, check facebook, and my usual morning stuff. However, this morning, when I clicked safari and it booted up, it went straight to www.google.com (my home page) and said it was unable to find the server, This was understandable, I hadn't logged into the Ohio University wireless network yet, but despite my homepage being set as google, im usually first taken to an Ohio Univeristy Wireless Internet screen and prompted to log in. Not this morning for some reason. I attempted to restart the computer multiple times, and reset safari, opera, and firefox. None of them would go to the Ohio wireless log in page. So I took my computer over to the dining hall. I booted it up and immediately once safari started I got this in the adress bar:

That is the typical URL I get when I first power up my browser and attempt to connect to the internet (except the number in the URL after the word "wireless" changes with what building im in). I tried my computer around different areas of the souther part of my campus and it works fine everywhere else, but in my dorm room safari and any browser i have just goes straight to google and wont let me access ohios internet service. I tried calling my schools support line to get help and I got their wonderful, enthusiastic respons of: "uh dude, its not our problem." So has anyone else experienced a similar problem or know a sollution?
