Hi, I am at a hotel in China where I can't get onto the internet with linux. I have previously written about my steps to get onto the internet at hotels here:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-07/msg00503.html
None of these tricks are working here, the last step where I ask if the Internet help people can see my computer and allow it on the internet is not possible because of a language barrier.
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?
Just a guess here, but would lowering the MTU for your interface help? If its 1500, try 1200? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
