Starbucks

I am able to use DisplayLink on my home network, but can't at Starbucks. My Laptop doesn't appear on the "Computers Available" screen. Both are connected the public ATT WiFi, but my PC can't ping my iPad.

Help!

It is normal to block other computers on wireless networks to prevent hackers searching around public wireless networks and seeing if there are any security compromises or shared folders on other computers. This will prevent the iPad app working through public networks.
