How do you force start a page in a browser when someone connects to your network?

Question

I'm looking for a way to force the first page that is seen by any user opening a browser. I've seen it in hotels, but never been able to figure out how they do it.

I want the first page the browser opens to be our own network page. I want it to work like it would if I walked in off the street into a hotel and plugged in my laptop. How do they force your browser to that start page?

Thanks,

HENRY

Answer 1

Not using standard equipment like office-stores sell.

If you look around you may be able to configure a desktop computer as a firewall/DCHP server to do that, or find a industrial grade (expensive) router that can.

Answer 2

you can not you can only fource quit

Answer 3

There are several commercial products (fairly pricey) from Cisco and Logisense, but if you can run a Linux capable router, you may want to try nocat.  You can also force all all your traffic through a proxy server and configuring your DNS and DHCP correctly, but that is fairly easy to get around nowadays.
