Comment 7 for bug 988841

I ran into the exact same problem, after my computer connected to wifi at a hotel, but I had not logged in yet. I was connected, but there was no internet connection. The first page in any browser is automatically rerouted by the server to the login screen.

I hope that this does not happen every time I'm at a hotel, but the bigger issue that I have is that I am unable to edit the files as described above. I am told that I do not own the files, and I am unable to change the permissions on them. Am I doing something wrong?
