hi ,
i did setup a hotspot by wizard but when i try to open the explorer from the clients pc i did not redirected to the hotspot login page automaticlly enless i put the hotspot ip in the explorer
any help please ,
I was tinkering with a hotspot idea today, and had a simmilar issue. I haven’t done enough testing to tell if it’s a bug though. I would think that if it was a bug, it would have been noticed by now though.
I’m going to tinker with it some more tomorrow though and see what I can figure out.
Thats not a bug, normally this happens when you dont have the internet connected, it wont redirect you unless your router has a working internet connection that is accessible from the hotspot side of the network.
Or - that’s enough to screw things up - DNS isn’t working/configured correctly.
As long as the clients cannot do a correct name resolution, the browser won’t send out a HTTP request - and that’s the point where HotSpot kicks in, as it intercepts this HTTP request from unauthorized users to display the login page.
So either having faulty dns service OR no internet connection at all will show these symptoms you see.

Please send me a good dns Configuration so i can try ,
if i disable the hotspot and connect to the internet thru the webproxy that i did configure
best regards
Ah, the unit i was messing with didn’t have a default gateway to the internet, I was just tinkering with some things.
However, this brings about a problem for what I was trying to do. My intent is to have a hotspot on my AP not to allow internet access, but so that when users can’t (or forget/don’t) log in, they will get a web page that says “Oops! You either forgot to log in, or there’s a problem. Please try to log in, or wait until we’ve repaired service.” I would not allow internet service through the hotspot, only informational pages.
So, this presents a problem, because the conditions you have mentioned for hotspot not working are the very conditions in which I would like it to work 
Sir ,
can i have the full configuration code of the hotspot and related issues so i can try .
Hello Friend
