I am new to Linux but fairly knowledable on Networking (retired engineer) and at home with MS Windows (shame I know!). Machine/Linux details:
Linux Mint 21.1 Cinamon; Cinamon Version: 5.6.8; CPU: Intel i5-6200; Memory: 8Gb; Drive: 100Gb (SSD); Graphics: Intel Skylake GT2; Manf: Lenovo;Model: Thinkpad L560
When I connect in coffee shops on my Android Smart phone I often get a page to agree terms with a tick box then Internet connection. However on my Linux PC I don't get this. The WiFi is picking up an IP address by DHCP from their router. See for instance in Nero Cafe:
So: IP address: 10.225.230.nnn
Router/Gateway: 10.225.230.1
DNS: 10.1.5.153 & 10.1.5.154
Name of WiFi Connection - The Cloud
(very similar in Costa).
When I take my Linux Mint laptop to the libary that uses a password/key security approach. No problems I am asked for security password/key given by the library and I get connection. Same at home with my WiFi.
Anybody met this problem? I haven't taken our Windows 11 laptop into any of these coffee shops. Was hoping to use my Linux Mint Lenovo laptop.. Any ideas.? Thanks
