I would like to follow up on this thread... I have the same problem with and
without Norton. In fact, Norton was the only way I could actually connect to
the internet at a hotel. I removed Norton and the problem remains. Is there
any setting I need to change on IE in order to fix the problem? It's a
redirect problem. Something is blocking redirect from my home page to a hotel
sign-in page. Please help!
