[Commotion-dev] IP resolution problem for mesh-hopping

[Dan Staples]

I suspect, since it is redirecting you, that it is an issue with the 
splash page. You could either try clicking through the splash page (if 
you have internet access), or disabling luci-splash by removing all 
interfaces in System -> User-Splash.
