Topic: Corporate Wired v Guest Wireless
** I am an early adopter, not a hacker, so forgive my naiveté **
I have three options for getting online at work:
1) corporate wired network which uses automatic IP address assignment, but requires that one goes through a proxy server (proxy 1, port 8080)
2) corporate secured wireless which uses a non-broadcast SSID, LEAP authentication, and the same proxy server
3) a "guest" network which is discoverable, but has a login disclaimer page which requires one to click "I Agree"
I can sometimes get my Chumby online at work, connecting through the guest network when it seems to have a weak moment. After a few hours, I get booted off. I have tried to use one of my handtops (a UX380N) to serve as an ad-hoc wireless access point, but the Chumby can't seem to pull an IP from it, plus I don't know if it would work anyway, given the need for the proxy server. I've seen this second suggestion elsewhere in the forums.
I am also trying to get at Netgear wireless router set up, but can't figure out how to make it go through the proxy on the WAN side, while not requiring anything on the LAN side.
What would be ideal is if the Chumby could "click" on the "I Agree" button on the web page when trying to authenticate with the guest network.
Any ideas?
