Hello!
I am trying to set up an advanced network for my house. All i have to work with is a little Linksys Adapter. How can I make this Linksys into a functioning hotspot, maybe even with a landing/greeting/login page when you connect?

Thanks in advance!

You can setup ICS on a computer with that adapter connected to. You have a Wireless Router aside from that adapter correct? Otherwise that adapter may as well be ground up and sprinkled over your yogurt or cereal without a WiFi router you can connect it to.

This will explain how to setup a logon page like you are looking for http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/340573/set-up-landing-page-for-my-lan/ although you will need a bit more advances setup than just using ICS with your adapter.
