Public bug reported: That one isn't easy, couldn't figure out which package is responsible for that issue.
Well, it's the following: I'm actually (and for the next few weeks) sitting in a hotel which is providing internet via WIFI to which I'm connected to. I successfully receive an IP adress, no setup in network settings is needed at all. That's how it should be like: As soon as I enter an adress in the web browser's adress field, I'm being redirected to a login page. The adress of that page is http://hotspot.hhi.local . Here I can enter the credentials I've got at the reception desk. And that's how it is: I try to visit a webpage and I'm being redirected to the URL above, but the page remains blank for some seconds. Then I get a "Server not found" page and I'm not able to do anything at all. Now I'm running WinXP in a VirtualBox, which is connected via NAT. While the host is connected to the WIFI net and is not able to visit any page, I am able to connect in the VirtualBox. Running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox brings the same as on the host, by the way. Does that look weird only to me? If there's any information I can fetch for you, please let me know. I'm running Ubuntu Mint Katya, but it's the same situation on an Ubuntu 10.10. The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Laptop Lifebook E8310.
