I want to setup a wireless hotspot for our customers who come in. When they get on the wireless network, I want them to be taken first to a specific webpage. Its a page that advertises our business and also has disclaimers for their use of our internet hotspot. How is this possible?

Thanks.

Hello...

I don't know of any clean way to do this. The "unclean" way would be:

- Intercept and interrogate all packet traffic on your wireless network.
- Identify the first web browsing packet from a "new" client PC by MAC address.
- Redirect the request to your server and display the desired page only once.

If you find a clean way to do this, be sure to share it.
