Hi all,
Need some advice on the easiest way to setup a forced splash or default webpage when people connect to a wireless (or wired) network (similar to what they do in hotels etc).
Ideally it would be using some basic wireless (Netgear / D-Link) wifi routers and using a Windows based server as I don't have much (if any!) Linux / Unix knowledge.
Guide / advice / walkthrough appreciated.
Many thanks :-)

NoCatSplash is included in most builds... all but mini and micro, so if that looks workable you'd want a router that can run at least one of the std builds, if not the mega (the mega build has all features).

You can use an inexpensive Linksys router and DD-WRT firmware with a package called NoCatSplash.
Here's a link to their wiki article
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki
Using that you cannot get around using (if not learning) some linux commands, though. I suggest reading through that article completely and see if it looks too complicated before even deciding what router to try (let alone buying one).
NoCat's website is http://nocat.net, but the packages available there (besides NoCatSplash there's NoCatAuth and NoCatMaps) are pretty-much completely linux-ized.
