Nowadays more and more organisations will use an intercepting proxy to give you access to internet. Last week I had the pleasure to use again such a system. To use is an exaggeration as my opensuse 11.1 box with kde4.3 rc1 connected to the wireless network (network manager) but refused to give me access to the authentication page in the browser.
I did all the decent tests that my brain and time allowed me. Checked the ip, checked gateway and checked dns. They seemed ok.
To make frustration even bigger I was able to connect to th very same network with a kde4.3 beta1.
