[...] I am connected (whether through WiFi or ethernet cable) to a university network which claims after the upgrade that the laptop is no longer registered. I went through the registration process again through the browser (and was told: why are you registering this machine again, it is registered, simply restart the network/reboot) but the problem does not go away. I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email).
I should mention that the network on this upgraded laptop works fine when I take the laptop home and connect.
So what could be the problem? I have not had such an issue with installations and upgrades for 40.5 versions of Fedora (the 0.5 is for RH9 that I think I used mid-2003 to late 2003 before Fedora Core 1). How do I troubleshoot this?
Does the University use a Captive Portal?
My apologies, but what is a captive portal. Btw, I can not stress this enough, but this was not a problem before the upgrade: indeed, the upgrade itself happened on that same network (on WiFi).
Many thanks again, and best wishes, Ranjan
