Wifi Access HELP!!!!!

Options
Hello,

I'm studying in a backwards country. I use the wifi at tho only free public library requires a registration. The system then immediately gives you a password and a user name. The problem is that internet access is only limited to 1:30 (all at once) per 24h, I can't download voice messages, watch youtube, use skype, etc.

For a few months I realized that if I don't close off Firefox and restore the session, I could use the wifi without registraring and without any restrictions. Now they have changed something and I get

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.google.com/
Line Number 1, Column 1:

Which, when reloaded, switches to the registration page. Even when I repair the connection to change the IP it doesn't work.

I'm only here for a few months so I can't get internet at my apartment (requires 1 year contract). Does anybody know a way around the stupid registration and restrictions?

PLEASE HELP.:cry:

    If they do it via MAC address then there is no an easy way around it...

    This is done to stop people abusing it.... You can pay for wifi at many places.. Like martins email last week where wifi costs you a cut of tea or lime soda per 30min.
