How to set up automatic connection to a router's login page

When I try to use a public wifi (say at the library) that requires a simple login, my Firefox does not automatically seek the login page. How can I make that automatic? Of course, I am manually connecting to the router and opening my Mozilla, but it simply times out because it finds nothing. In order to make it work, I always have to type in IP address. How do I make Mozilla automatically find the login page once connected to the router?

Bookmark the IP address, then you should only have to click the bookmark to get to the right place.

Thanks for your answer. I should have mentioned that I did that for one very specific case, but my browser still does not automatically seek out the login page as do other's laptops (including my wife's).

Any thoughts on how to make it automatic?

Usually, if you request a page that is not cached, the router will detect the request and redirect to its login page. Try hitting a bookmarked site, or use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload without using any cached files. Does that work?

If you have to manually determine the router's IP address, I'm not sure how you would do that.

jscher2000,

I tried your suggestions: (i) When I clicked a bookmarked page (wsj.com) it continued to spin its wheels and ultimately timed out. (ii) Ctrl+Shift+r did absolutely nothing also.

Also, I tried your suggestions in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer to no avail.

There must be a simple setting in either of the two browsers options menus that tells it to automatically seek out a router's login page. Why would this not be occurring on my four month old laptop.

Thanks for helping.
