Thanks for that... I dounf coovachilli and installed it, now my freeradius wont start.. when i type: radiusd -X i get a whole lot of errors, any ideas where i could have gone wrong?

We have a cisco 2800 or 2850 on its way from the company we have purchased our internet link from, so i am not sure if that can do the captive portal thing?

It's called captive portal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal

Try
coova.org/CoovaChilli

What we usually do:

- get a wireless AP which has captive portal feature. I find it easier than having to install a captive portal manually on a server.

For example, if you're willing to use third-party firmware, dd-wrt support these devices: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

- get a radius server (you already have that)

- get a login page. Something like http://net-mai.net/files/hotspotlogin.php.txt

- adjust settings as required
