forcing first page on network

Oct 03, 2007 0 Replies

Just a question I've been pondering every since I visited a hotel over the summer...



How do you force a first page on a wireless network?



For example, Joe connects to a Hotel wireless network...before he can reach the internet, he is presented with a front page where he must agree to TOS and click to continue...



How can you force the viewing of that first page on a wireless network? I'm not talking about an "in-house" robust network (with a proxy server), but can this be done from the router?



Can you set up a web server as part of the WAN that forces the showing of that first page?



I've seen it done a dozen times, but I can't figure it out.
