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.
