DrClient error in chinese campus network :you are using a router login

Hello,  I am  chinese, new to Arch.

I use NetworkManager manage my network, it successed to connect to my friends' wifi,

but when i use the DrClient to login campus network,
it open a window and say "you are using a router login,please do not using router or proxy login, thanks"

then i test by the command ping and enter www.jlu.edu.cn with firefox, successed.
it seems to that i can only connect to campus network.

i wonder that is there some service in Arch that conflict with the DrClient, but i have a little knowlege on this.

if someone know this, please help me, thank you.

Re: DrClient error in chinese campus network :you are using a router login

I am only guessing here, but I wonder if it has to do with your DNS configuration.  I am aware that your county likes to censor content; perhaps your DNS configuration is trying to not use the official server provided by your university.    Also, I assume you are trying to use dynamic addresses using dhcpcd as opposed to using a static address.  You might try dhclient instead and see if that makes a difference.

Is there any chance that your school wants a specific MAC address ?(one that you had to register with them?)

Sorry, these all doesn't work.

My DNS is actually provided by my university,and i already specific MAC address that registered on campus network.
also, i stop dhcpcd  and start many times.

but, make no difference.
