Hi congratulations.

Deleting a hotspot is not possible actually.
This will be done soon.

Could you please say what was the difficulty you encountered? So we can improve the howtos... Thanks

Hope that you will find worldspot.net useful.

Regards

Hi again guy

I see in the connections history that you have some connections that remain in the alive state.
Could you remember if you changed some dd-wrt settings or rebboted ddwrt while trying your hotspot?

I would like to know if there really is a problem and in which side.

Thanks

Hi admin,

the issue is simple:

typing "exit" in the browser bar does not bring you back to the logout page. :'(

Hope it helps.

Yes. At home it used to work.
It doesn't work anymore, I don't know why.

Have to enter the chillispot address:
http://192.168.182.1:3990

I think the problem with typing "exit" in the address field and not bringing you back to the login page is that "exit" is not pointing to your loginpage/webserver in the DNS server used by various users.

If you would like this to work you need to setup a DNS server and add a pointer record for "exit" forwarding requests to your login page. And all users of worldspot.net must use this DNS server.

This is how my ipconfig /all looks like:

Code: [Select]
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.182.2
 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.182.1
 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.182.1
 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 193.75.75.75 (this is my IPS's DNS Server)

When I try to ping "exit" it will request the DNS server (from my ISP) for records on "exit" and it will result into something totally different than your login page:

Code: [Select]
C:\>ping exit
Pinging 20e.mine.nu [83.249.218.251] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

I tried to add 192.168.182.1:3990 in my hosts file but it doesn't seem to work with the port number. The only way I can make it work is if I leave out the port number and type exit:3990 in the address field.

Maybe it would be better to have a popup window instead but this is not really a good solution as most users have pop-up killers.

the exit address is a chillispot feature
That's why redirection worked.
It used to work, it was a cool feature.
Have to check why it doesn't work anymore.
Will check in the chillispot sources when I have some time.
