In hotels and many other places they offer WiFi as a paid service. The network is open, but when you connect you will be redirected to a page where you pay for internet access, or enter a code.
On many networks now at various hotels across the USA I am able to connect successfully and load the redirect page on a Windows 7 computer, an iPad, and an Android. But on my Surface Pro 4 I can connect but it will not load the redirect page. It automatically opens a tab in my default browser and attempts to load a page at go.microsoft.com, but it just hangs there forever. It has loaded the redirect successfully a few times, but only after 10 to 20 minutes of waiting and a lot of cursing.
I've tried different browsers and even typing the URL to the redirect page, as it appears on a different device.
Is there some trick I can do to learn the redirect page and force it to load? Is there some kind of protocol I can do to get a diagnosis of the problem? I only have the one Windows 10 device, so maybe there is a setting I am unaware of that is blocking the redirect.
