In connecting to the conference network, I noticed this on the Westin wireless:

ath0: no link ......... got link
DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPNAK from 1.2.1.3

ssid WestinMeetingRooms channel 149 (5745 Mhz 11a) bssid 00:1d:e5:4d:cf:6f

Perhaps someone should mention this to the hotel? :slight_smile:

I've senn DHCPACK from 1.1.1.1 I was told it's the default value of a
Cisco WLAN Controller. There are more things broken in most hotel
WLANs.

We should go soft on the Westin. The wireless works surprisingly well.

It does indeed, wasn't implying that we should chastise them for having a service that works, merely that since we're a few hundred network nerds we noticed something was broken.

I can confirm this, our WLC from Cisco came with a default IP setting of 1.1.1.1 for the portal.
