Note: If the web browser fails to redirect check that the DNS server configured in the DHCP Server defined in the Bluesocket is available and successfully resolving domain names. Without name resolution working the web browser will never attempt to connect to the website defined in web browser home page and therefore there is no session for the Bluesocket to redirect.
