Hotel Requires login for internet access

spvoyek · #1 12-23-2008, 09:54 PM

Brought my new HD200 on family roadtrip. Was anxious to try placeshifting, but I couldn't placeshift with the HD200. I could with my laptop, so I know that everything was set up properly on the server side. I'm guessing that it's because the hotel internet access required a login? At least it did from the laptop, which I was doing wireless. I didn't have a chance to try to using it wired after it crossed my mind that that may have been the reason the HD200 couldn't placeshift. How would one logon to a hotel network with an extender?

Best bet is probably to figure out some way of spoofing the HD200's MAC address with your laptop (or vice versa) so that one login will cover them both. (Obviously you'd want to disconnect the laptop from the hotel LAN after logging in and before connecting the HD200.)
