Hi Guys,

I have seen some Wireless Hot Spot providers (Access Points) automatically showing a greeting page to Welcome the new clients.

It seemed to be a general html page using IE

I have not got a clue how this works so if any of you can shine any light on this it will be great.

Thanks

I'll leave this up but, it's not what you need I think (laughs into hands). It does deal with the Hotspot Object.

I read the Title of the thread and went off that. Ah, nice job on my part, S.O.R.R.Y there.

lmao

Some internet access gateways show these pages and often a 'click here to agree to our terms of use policy' before allowing connections. Most of the time I think it is the firewall or other proxy type server that does this.

Thanks, Chris, Corey, Intrigued (LOL),

Your right, I found out that I really need to use a Linux Box and use something called noCat with experience of IP tables.

I searched netgear help files but they don't mention anything about it.

I may just buy a new router with this support.

Thanks

I was curious about your file Intrigued so I downloaded it thinking that you may have got LuaCom to display available networks or something.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Thanks guys
