I think I already know the answer to this, but I'd be interested in others experience or ideas! I'm sure you have used internet services in a hotel, the cloud, or similar where you have an open wifi connection, but just need to accept the Ts&Cs or enter a password, so you can use your iphone, pc or whatever.
This is all very easy with a browser, you arrive on a landing page, enter some details and then it captures your MAC address and authenticates it - then you are free to use. How on earth do you do this with your radio.... I guess you can take your own router, connect through that with a PC, and then your radio can access your own router and appear as the authenticated device as the router MAC will only be seen, or perhaps you can modify your PCs wifi MAC address to be the same as the radio (although with Windows 7 changing the MAC address on wifi to start 00 like a slim address brings another whole project with it) and swap as soon as authenticated. In all these cases, you might as well just use your smart phone or PC! The hotel didn't intend for you not to be able to connect your radio, it just doesn't seem possible at first sight. Is there a plugin that exists to achieve this - scroll through the landing page as text to get to the bit where you enter the details? Any ideas gratefully received that don't include an additional suitcase! Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dean_Bayliss's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63168 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102026 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
