I'm not sure if the solution to my problem would actually be a web programmer's job, but I'm hoping that one of you may have had a similar need. Here it is: I am setting up wireless internet for a hotel major hotel chain. Only one computer (one of the hotel's servers) will actually have the wireless modems, but will supply internet for each room. The ideal situation is this: 1-The user plugs their computer into the network jack (no internet access at this point). 2-They open up their preferred browser and instead of their homepage, it will display a page on our internal network. 3-They will go through a process to activate their room. The problem that I have is dsplaying our page instead of their homepage. How would I intercept this? Would I have to write a pseudo HTTP server? Thanks, Josh Koppang Wiacomm, Inc. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

I think you will need to write an ISAPI Filter for your intranet, although I'm not sure, just a thought Philip Patrick Web-site: www.stpworks.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer

Your best bet is to use a proxy server in transparent mode (like Squid or ISA Server). This will ensure the person HAS to go via this server regardless of there personal settings. Now, I dont know how to set it up on either of the 2, but it should not be too difficult :) Hope this helps :) Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
