Does it make a difference if you copy and paste the registration page URL from windows, into your browser in Linux? (Obviously this might be difficult across OS's unless you are using virtual machines, buit perhaps you can write down the URL and manually type it.

Mark, Keith and Tim,

Thanks for your replies - I was a bit short on useful information in my last message, sorry.

I can associate with the AP and obtain an IP fine, my problems are that once connected I can't get the registration page to load.

In Window$, it comes up fine (in both Chrome and Firefox), but in Ubuntu I just get a broken img artefact and a message to the effect of "service not available try again later"

I'd be happy to just use something else, but as I paid for wifi with my room, I kinda feel a bit cheated that I can't use it for is intended purpose to practise and revise my coursework.

Thanks for your input :)
