      Hi,

      I am playing with the captive portal, and have put in place a custom login script however I cannot see to get it to work.

      Insofar, after authentication the server shows a successful login, and I can see the session in the captive portal status page, however on the client it hangs on connecting to address http://ipaddress:8000 and after that times out I cannot connect any websites.
      Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

      My login script is as follows:

      <title>Company Name - Guest WiFi</title>

      <center>

      Welcome Company Name

      After reading, and agreeing to abide by the Company Name usage policy below; please enter the username and password provided by reception to continue.

      <form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$">

      I have read, and understood the Picochip acceptable
      internet usage policy

      | Password: | |

      |

      </form>

      Company Ltd - Acceptable internet use policy

      blah
