Hi,
Not a Cisco specific question, but thought this group
would have the best insight.
After 10 hours on the road, I'm more dopey than usual. Pull
into a Marriott, and of course the first thing I do is hook the laptop
up. Normally, during the FreeBSD boot process I stop it and switch the
config over from a hardcoded IP/gateway (For use at home/office... I
need to be DMZ'd for somet things, so the IP is static) to DHCP.
Wasn't
thinking straight and let it boot.
Since some have replied about proxy arp and the like, I'll go ahead
and reply to the list.
It's more complicated than that. Many hotels use a device from
Nomadix http://www.nomadix.com/ (now part of DoCoMo). It's a
supercharged packet munger that can take almost any end station config
and rewrite the headers to get you connected to the outside world,
usually after redirecting an HTTP session to the clickthrough "Don't
Be Evil" agreement, credit card info collection etc. Very effective
and flexible.
