HattoHi and mXms2u&all advfnersMost likely is that you need to go through your Internet Explorer network settings, ensure that you now connect through LAN rather than dial-up. (That is under \Tools\Internet Options\Connections in Internet Explorer.)Maybe your laptop has not been set up for DHCP (i.e. you previously used a fixed TCP/IP address). Open Control Panel and view TCP/IP properties of your network card to check whether it is set to automatically/dynamically assign number using DHCP and reboot. Open Network Connections as follows:Those two things should enable you to connect to the hotels wireless & internet successfully.If you still can't connect to the internet through the hotel's Wireless network go through the IE setup wizard : \Tools\Internet Options\Connections\Setup.Good luck
