If you do a search of the archive for "Ubuntu NetworkManager" it'll explain it all, I hope :-)

Hi all I'm travelling over in Sydney at the moment and have been trying to get my Dell 640m laptop connected to the network in Global Gossip internet cafe in Kings Cross. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 on it. It connects well when I boot up into Windows XP, everything as it should be. Finds the Global Gossip wireless network, you then open the browser and it defaults to the www.moreways2pay.com website where it asks for your membership details from where you can start using their internet connection. In Ubuntu however it doesn't work, it finds the wireless connection or the hard LAN connection, but never connects to it, I contacted the admin of the cafe and he said he could see my MAC address on the network and that it had been assigned an IP but for some reason it's not connecting properly. Apprently there was someone running Redhat in here before and it was working so it must be possible. If anyone has any thoughts I would really appreciate the help, thanks very much! :) Jim -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
