Hotel wireless internet portal.

Hey guys,
I have a Macbook which recently had (I believe) it's logic board changed due to a fried ethernet port.
Since I got it back, it doesn't seem quite the same. Perhaps the most frustrating issue is this . . .
I can connect to WiFi networks at the hotels I stay at without problem, however, when I open Safari, it won't automatically redirect to the portal which I need to access in order to pay for the internet service.
I've discovered that, in some cases if I type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar it will find the portal page, but not always.
It didn't do that before. Is there a setting I'm missing??
Thanks!

sounds like a dns issue.

  • Wireless internet in hotels giving security certificate expirations

    I noticed this when I was on vacation when I was staying in hotels and trying to use the internet on my ibook. I was trying to login into my bank and credit card sites to check my balance, but couldn't due to some sort of message saying the certificate had expired. Now back at home, with my wireless I don't get that message. Could this have been a temporary glitch or was this because of the hotels wireless? What should I do the next time this happens to fix this issue?

    Hello,
    This tends to happen when your system clock is incorrectly set.
    Does your iBook battery hold good charge? Sometimes if the battery is not charged and you haven't place the power adapter in for a while, the system clock resets itself. (You should see a warning in most cases)
    If this happens again, just check to see if your system clock has been set correctly and if not change accordingly.
    Best of luck

  • HT3624 I am in a campground and my wireless internet won't connect on my MacBook Pro. Help

    I am in a campground and I can't get the wireless internet to work it worked before now it doesn't. I think
    I did something and messed it up. I was in the network area of system profiler and it was on
    air port and I hit the - at the bottom and it went away when I put it back it hasn't worked
    since. Help!

    I was in a hotel a few month a ago.  The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in.  Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work.  (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
    So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on  my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV.  Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough.  It was very easy.
    (Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

  • How do I use my Time Capsule with hotel wired internet

    How do I use my Time Capsule as a wireless router on my hotel free internet ethernet cable?

    It may not be possible..
    If they use a web access page, then there is no way you can set the TC to authenticate.. you must use the computer to authenticate and then use the computer to bridge to the TC for wireless clients to access.
    Look up instructions on using ICS (internet connection sharing) in the Mac.
    eg for 10.6.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6589
    eg http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740
    Of course if there is no login then you could just use it.. but I doubt you would be asking if it just worked.

  • In hotel w/wireless network.  ATV finds network, but does not ask me for password, so can't communicate through network.  MacBook Air, iPad and 2 iPhones connected to hotel wireless, but ATV does not ask me for the password.  Any ideas?

    I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel.  Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password.  I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices.  ATV did not ask me for a password.  When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network.  It can't set date and time.  When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
    Any ideas on how to connect to this network?

    I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.

  • Wireless internet access in other countries

    Does anyone know if the iBook can be used for wireless internet access in other countries, specifically Buenos Aires, Argentina and Italy?
    iBook G4    

    Hi,
    never had any problems with this (hotels and airports throughout Europe, Middle-East,...), somethimes you get immediate access to a provider when using your browser (then all you need to do is buy time with your credit card number); or by using the internet application: you will see the names of the providers in the list because of the signals your computer receives; then again you need to buy time;
    greetings, Dag

  • Airport Express in hotels wireless only connection

    I am in a hotel without Ethernet cable available, only wifi. I can connect one device per room. I want to connect my PC with Windows 7, my iPhone and my iPad without having to pay for three Internet access fees using airport express 1st gen to create a private network. i saw an article that shows how to do it using a Mac. How should I configure my PC for that?
    I connected my PC to the wifi of the hotel, connected the airport express to the PC via Ethernet and could not see the airport express as a base. 
    Any comment is appreciated.
    Milton

    i saw an article that shows how to do it using a Mac. How should I configure my PC for that?
    The article that you saw regarding using a Mac likely mentioned the Mac's ability to "Share" a wireless Internet connection over the Ethernet port on the Mac.
    I cannot say whether a PC has this same type of capability, but something like this would be a requirement to do what you ask about. It might be worth a post in a Windows 7 support forum to see if this type of feature is supported.
    We do not have many PC guys here on this support community, but there is a possibility that one might see your post and respond.....so check back over the next few days to look for any new responses.

  • IPod Touch: apps (facebook, twitter, facetime) don't work properly with my wireless internet having worked perfectly before. Help needed!

    I got my iPod Touch 4g for Christmas 2011 and for the first 2 weeks everything worked fine - I could download apps; use apps to their full potential; use FaceTime; use everything.
    But after the two weeks, the iPod decided to no longer work as well as it had promised. First of all, it would take more than 2 hours to download a single app from the app store and then, straight after that, I couldn't connect to FaceTime (it had worked perfectly before). Then, finally, to top it all off - Facebook and Twitter stopped working on occasions. For example, I couldn't post/send messages or photos on Twitter and at the majority of the time, the News Feeds wouldn't load.
    Sometimes everything works but most of the time it doesn't. I've tried my iPod at every time of the day and it makes no difference - nothing still works! Also, I don't think it is the fault of my wireless internet because I've had an iPod touch before and it worked perfectly, and the laptop that I am writing this question on also works perfectly with wifi.
    The weird thing is that I have used my iPod to its full potential (everything worked fine) at my friends hosue on multiple occasions - using his wifi. I am really lost for ideas for what to do - I have uninstalled all the apps that don't work with the internet (facebook, twitter) and have always made sure that I have closed apps after using them, so that my iPod wouldn't run slow.
    My iPod has been like this for over a month now, help would be appreciated

    Do you have a blackberry data plan active. On your account? You need an active blackberry data plan to use the majority of data functions on your phone, even if you are connected to wifi 

  • HELP ME UNDERSTAND WIRELESS INTERNET PLEASE!!!

    IM looking into purchasing a laptop but do not have internet currently, IM totally confused on how works. Can I get wireless internet without a phone jack? Some people have also told me that a satellite laptop would be best but I would need a wireless router to connect do you have to have a service provider or can I surf the web right away? PLEASE help me!

    Lets not Confuse Toshiba Sattlelite with wireless capabilties, its just a brand name and does not imply functionality in a specfic way.
    There are legal ways to get free wireless internet, one i just mentioned which is the library. If you use your wireless card and find other locations over the airwaves, and they are unsecured, you could essentially hop onto them but its very illegal and there are ways of catching people stealing wireless access from other users.
    If you are in the market for High Speed internet such as Comcast, or Verizon, you can go here:

  • Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

    We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

  • When I connect to the hotel wireless, it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected to the login page

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with my Firefox 4 beta: when I connect to the hotel wireless, and I start the browser, I should be automatically redirected to the hotel's main login page.
    In FF4b I get 2 error messages (attached) and I am not redirected immediately... it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected.
    If I don't want to wait I have to start IE, make the login, and then get back to FF4b.
    I believe this situation is connected with the "Test Pilot" and/or the "sync" function of FF...
    Any ideas about what I should do? Any setting I should change?
    Thanks,
    Tozé

  • Wireless Internet Access (Cisco IP NGN or Cisco Wireless Mesh Networkin)??

    Dear Cisco Wireless Team
    Please educate us on where to start, or the CISCO product we might need to purchase
    We are trying to branch out a new Internet wireless access and wireless phone service business in our company, and presently looking for the right Cisco product solution to purchase to enable us offer this service in LAGOS, NIGERIA.
    The service will be rendered in Africa, the country NIGERIA, and the city LAGOS.
    We would like to mount or install the product in Lagos, Nigeria.
    As we are new to this kind of service. We would appreciate if the Cisco wireless team can work with us in pointing or directing on the right product to purchase and what are required. We understand the Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking Solution, Cisco IP Generation Network, Cisco 12416 or 7600 Series Router might be the right products to purchase, but we are not sure on what needed or what are required to meet our service need.
    Possibly we would like to offer Wireless Internet Access to unlimited subscribers, and also Wireless or Mobile Phone service to unlimited subscribers in Nigeria.
    Anticipating your reply

    I suppose Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking would be a good choice.The Cisco mesh architecture makes it easy to scale coverage as capacity needs dictate, including increasing access point density; adding wired connections, controllers, and radios; and using dual high-powered, high-sensitive radios and a selection of high-gain antennas.Refer the document for IP NGN in the following URL http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns537/networking_solutions_solution_category.html

  • Wireless Internet access via requires unplugging cable modem -

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Airport Express (7.4.2). I have high speed Internet via Comcast/cable modem. I spent 30 minutes with the Apple Tech Support folks and was finally able to get wireless internet access. However, after I shutdown and reboot, the only way I can wireless internet is to unplug the internet cable from both the wall plug and cable modem and unplug the modem, both for about two minutes. This isnt what I had in mind when I crossed over from the dark side (PC laptop world) and am having buyer's remorse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem (i dont want to unplug cables before each session on the internet)?

    Mr. Timmons,
    Thank you so much for the response.  I thought the complete reboot would work, but apparently not.  I followed the directions precisely, even waiting a few minutes longer than suggested for each of the steps.  My air express is still blinking yellow.  I think the issue has something to do with the DHCP and the IP address which are diifferent. The IP address is one series of number (starts with 169), and the LAN IP address is another number (starts with 10). Status on airport express show yellow for internet connection, and yellow for no DSN servers. When I go to the internet tab of airport utility, it shows the iPv4 address starts wutg the 169 number. When I click on the network tab, the DHCP range starts with the 10 number.  When I open the Network Options window, the iPv4 DHCP range starts with the 10 number.  I am at a loss as to how to get them to match up (with either the 169 number or the 10 number).  V/R sjbgtmo

  • MBP problem connecting to wireless internet

    I recently tried to get online using my Macbook Pro (Intel) and I was prompted for the password to access the wireless internet network which was unusual as it normally connected automatically every time. Once I had entered the correct password I was met with the pop up window "'There was an error connecting to the network 'Vlsise'" (Vlsise is the name of our home network). I think that this may have been due to recently downloading some updates the day before but I can't be sure.
    I have an iMac (Intel) and PlayStation 3 which connect fine to the internet wirelessly but I've not gotten around to downloading the latest updates for the iMac in fear of it encountering the same problem as my MBP.
    My laptop can connect via the ethernet cable but when I try to connect wirelessly I briefly see the IP Address 169.254.109.180 in the network settings window before the error message appears, if that is of any use.
    The router I'm using is a 'Zyxel 660HW-T3' and has been great for the year that I've had it. It may also be worth pointing out that our provider 'Telefonica O2' upgraded our service last month but as the MBP is the only Mac that has a problem I can't really see this being related.
    If anyone has a solution to my problem or any tips to try rectify the problem they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    So I took my MBP to work to try their WPA2 password protected network and it connected no problem! I'm absolutely stumped on this one I think my last resort will be to re-install OSX and see if that works. If someone else has already tried this and it didn't work then please inform me so that I can save myself the hassle.
