In connecting to the conference network, I noticed this on the Westin wireless: ath0: no link ......... got link DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPNAK from 1.2.1.3 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 DHCPOFFER from 1.2.1.3 DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 1.2.1.3 bound to 10.2.252.129 -- renewal in 10800 seconds. ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 inet 10.2.252.129 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 10.2.255.255 ssid WestinMeetingRooms channel 149 (5745 Mhz 11a) bssid 00:1d:e5:4d:cf:6f Perhaps someone should mention this to the hotel? :) -Tom

A lot of wireless kiosk gear uses 1/8 for bootstrap. It is likely that the people at the Westin cannot do anything about it as it may be hard coded into the firmware. William

I've senn DHCPACK from 1.1.1.1 I was told it's the default value of a Cisco WLAN Controller. There are more things broken in most hotel WLANs.

We should go soft on the Westin. The wireless works surprisingly well.

It does indeed, wasn't implying that we should chastise them for having a service that works, merely that since we're a few hundred network nerds we noticed something was broken.
I can confirm this, our WLC from Cisco came with a default IP setting of 1.1.1.1 for the portal. -g On Jun 14, 2010, at 2:48 PM, Jens Link wrote:
