However, you do make a good point. I'll bring it up. > Just thought I'd follow up here for clarity. the problem may be similar to what Hakan experienced. On the wired link in my room, I am able to get an address, however, in certain places throughout the hotel, using Wi-Fi, I simply hang waiting for a response. This morning, there are two guys behind me with Mac PowerBooks; one was able to gt an address, the other was not (one of the guys - Josh - was so intrigued by my eCS installation, that he took down the info and will be purchasing a license). I finally resorted to creating a profile in XWLAN using the DHCP-assigned address from my wired NIC from this morning. upon hitting the captive portal (24-hours of access, then the portal comes up; this is MAC-dependent, not IP-dependent), I am back on the network. Very frustrating, and I will be sure to provide comments to the hotel (BTW, this is a beautiful hotel, the Beverly Heritage, in Milpitas) as well as iBahn. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
