Well, I also noticed in a message post what I replied to that you plan on 
taking both the working Dell and the non-working Sony to compare. That should 
facilitate finding the answer to that question. 

I just find it highly irregular that they would specify a DNS server that is 
external to the network, and then give a domain name that would require a call 
to that DNS server, before you are allowed to pass traffic through the gateway. 
These networks have to have their own DNS server, or at least a proxy DNS 
server to redirect traffic until you've accepted the T&C. Otherwise, the whole 
security model breaks down. 

And yes, I use the term "security model" very loosely.
