Hi all,
I'm stuck in a Travelodge in Marylebone this week while renewing my RHCE certification.
Unfortunately I can only get connected to the travelodge wifi from Windows on my laptop - doesn't seem to make much difference which browser choice I make when back in Linux where I want to me.
Like most hotel systems the access point should be easy to connect to and get an IP address, but it won't open up to the Internet until you visit a specific webpage and login. Can you associate with the access point and get an IP address? Can you ping the gateway? Does visiting something safe like http://www.bbc.co.uk/ redirect to the login page?
Good luck!
Tim.
