So i was just wondering if there is a way to fix the windows error message "connection unsuccessful" Windows always displays this message when it detect the AP has no internet connectivity?
I was thinking maybe windows must try to ping microsoft.com upon connecting to an AP to determine internet connectivity, If this is the case then maybe we can enter in a dnsmaq rule to tell the windows client that microsoft.com is at 192.168.1.1
If so this would eliminate that error message for windows clients and make the process of connecting to the AP more seamless.
I think this is important for most users because people that are less tech savvy will just assume that the connect failed and will not bother trying to go to a website and thus never be redirected to the piratebox page.
Is there a way to fix this?
