I'm at a ramada hotel typing this email into Internet Explorer because for
some reason, although my n800 picks up the hotspot loud and clear, the
browser doesn't seem to redirect to the guest registration page and allow me
to browse. I just get a message "network problem" in a dialog box on the
screen.
Should I expect this to happen at many hotspots ? How do these things work
anyaway, they seem to hijack your attempt to fetch a home page and redirect
you to a terms-and-conditions acceptance page. The access is free, but you
have to click 'accept' to continue.
Is there something different I should be doing to make this work - there was
nothing I needed to do differently in my laptop.
I see similar issue with my n770 (and always have although it improved
when I moved from It-2005 to IT-2006) on local govt provided
'StreetNet'. Basically when you try to connect to a site it redirects
to a login page before sending you back to the pages you want to
visit. When you 'login' I think it sets up the router/firewall to
allow you out for a period of time. It doesn't work overly well on the
770.
