Stayed 4 nights away at the weekend. Bought a username and password from reception - both 8 or 9 digit ASCII random codes. Allowed 5 hours use.
First night I opened Firefox and a page appeared asking for the login details. I entered them and connected. Used about 90 minutes.
Second night same again - OK. Used about 60 minutes.
After that my iBookG4 1.42 would automatically connect to the hotel system, but never asked for a login. I could not connect to the internet.
I tried deleting any saved passwords from Keychain, checked the settings. Tried allowing pop-ups. Tried only allowing Private networks. Tried typing in the name. At one point I even got into their "shared area" and could have edited their standard letters!! But no internet connection.
Diagnostics only came up with a message like "You are connected to the base station, but are using a self-assigned address. You may not be able to connect to the internet".
I don't think I changed anything after the first two successful connections. And the hotel said that they had done nothing either.
Was it me or was it them?
