Connect to HotelNET in Germany

Question

Connect to HotelNET in Germany

I am in Germany - and having a problem logging into my hotel's WiFi.

The login site is Kraftcom HotelNET

I get the login screen and enter my name and password (from the hotel)

When I hit login - nothing happens. The page just freezes at login.

The same user name and password works on my MacBook Pro - and I am writing this from that.

Anyone using an iPad in Germany -- ???

2 MacPros, 6 intel iMacs, 1 MacBookPro, 2 MacBooks , 4 iPods, Mac OS X (10.6.5), I teach Digital Photography classes - on Macs

on the MBP, try this:

go system preferences > sharing and enable *internet sharing* to computers using airport.

next, click *airport options*, create a network and secure it. connect the iPad/iPod Touch to that network.

does that work ?

OK - Problem solved.

the hotel only allows 1 computer to use the login - so I got a second voucher and the iPad was able to log in.

No real iPad problem here - just a limited hotel WiFi service. Not a problem with T-mobile at hotels in Germany.

Try turning Off Autofill in Safari.

Go to Settings > Safari > Autofill > Names and Passwords and turn it Off.

For wat it's worth .. I cannot login with my iPod touch either. Same problem. Frozen at the login screen.

My MacBook Pro had no problem getting on.
