Yesterday the IP address was 129.111.202.205 and the mac ended in de:12
If you need more, let me know. I am going to try and duplicate with
this test laptop.

Dwane,
Give me the specifics like IP address, MAC address, for Number 1.
The second issue may not be clearly described. I think we complete
the login process (all the way to the "LOGOUT" pop-up), then click on
the HOME page and it re-displays the AUP page, etc. This seems to be a
problem with browser caching the redirected page, not the originally
requested page. I thought from what Ed said, that getting a new page
everything did NOT work. If you find a PC that has this condition, let
me look at it.

Subject: [pfSense Support] Issues with pfSense and Captive Portal
Good day.
Thank you for the help you have given us in our initial usage of
pfSense. We are however experiencing some issues with pfSense 1.0.1 in
general and also have a CaptivePortal pre-authentication issue.
First issue: I have a particular machine that is capable of going
anywhere on the interenet and has yet to authenticate via the
CaptivePortal. If this machine can do this, I am sure there are others.
The device will show up in the DHCP lease but there is no way to give
cancel their connection in 1.0.1. And the device does not show up in
the CaptivePortal page at all.
Second and biggest issue: We have particular users who run Safari,
Firefox, and IE 7 that our initial captive portal page will allow them
to authenticate our Acceptable Use Page (AUP) and then once they click
Accept, it brings up the AUP again. If they log in again, it repeats
the action. We have discovered that in IE, you can check the "Check for
new Page on each attempt" and that will correct it. We have
Empty/Deleted Cache and this does not work.
Has anyone seen this before and if corrected, what was the fix action?
Thank you
Dwane
