I am connected with a cable connection via ethernet, and can get linux to connect to the hotel network via knetwork manager. But the browser will not connect to the internet when I launch a browser. I have tried to do this with IE6 (IEs4linux), Firefox, Opera, and Konqueror. When I launch the browser in Windows, I get the hotel login screen where one elects to pay money for the internet. When I launch a browser in Opensuse, I get no connection to anything, even though the knetworkmanager icon shows that I am connected to the network. I have manually set the IP numbers for the connection with the hotel IT guy, but we still had the same result; no connection with linux.
Does anyone have any advice how I may overcome this problem?
My guess is they have a proxy or firewall that connects to internet, and you don't reach it, except in windows. A windows only proxy, it seems. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
