Traveling on the train – wifi works fine on my iPhone but not on my laptop.
Windows 10 detects the irish-rail hotspot, connects but won’t load up the captive portal; http://irishrail.on.icomera.com/ – Pinging the gateway yields a reply. [ 10.101.0.1 ]
A quick ping of irishrail.on.icomera.com:
Ping request could not find host irishrail.on.icomera.com. Please check the name and try again.
Followed by ipconfig /all – yep, using Google’s DNS servers [ 8.8.8.8 ]
Quickest fix is to set your DNS to automatic when using the irish-rail hotspot or add the following to your host file:
10.101.0.1 irishrail.on.icomera.com

This may not fix the issue, if not, do the following:
* Connect to the irish rail WIFI
* Open your browser and type irishrail.on.icomera.com into the address bar
* Connect and you should be good to go.

Even after removing 8.8.8.8 from DNS and using the captive gateway, browsers can’t resolve addresses.
If I use nslookup from the terminal, specifying 10.101.0.1 as the name server, it returns IP addresses which work when tested from my phone, but addresses don’t resolve in the laptop’s browser when using 10.101.0.1 as the DNS.
