Had an "interesting" time last week. The hotel we were in had free lobby wifi. One needed a logon/password from reception. After a lot of faffing about I managed to get into the Asus and set the SSID of the lobby and no encryption. But no way could I get an IP although all the lights were good on the asus. And nearly every attempt to get into the asus to see what was going on resulted in a "can't resolve xxx" where xxx was somewhere in the providers (swisscom) network. even though I was using the ip address of the asus. Not a conflicting address problem as the asus was on its default of 192.168.1.220 and the lobby was dishing out 192.168.4* I tried many times with the same negative result. Another oddity was that the only way I could get a response back from the asus when it *did* let me in was to set a default route of itself. Plugged in my old Artem card and whoosh - straight in - well almost. Seems No-Script does not like these hotel system logins - I had to turn it off. -- Regards Dave Saville -- This email was Anti Virus checked by Astaro Security Gateway. http://www.astaro.com
