   I'm running Windows XP Pro on an older laptop computer. In addtion to   
   a home wireless network that I have set up, I do a lot of cruising   
   around my home town to check out the various free wifi hotspots. I   
   have never had any problem connecting anywhere.   
      
   I am going to be going on vacation in a few weeks, and although there   
   are dozens of wifi hotspots around the city I will be going to, I'm   
   not too keen on lugging my laptop just to access these hotspots. The   
   hotel I'll be staying at doesn't have wifi, but it does have   
   high-speed ethernet ports.   
      
   I was considering taking my wireless router and hooking it up in my   
   hotel room so I could use my laptop without having to buy an ethernet   
   card. Has anyone tried this before when traveling? What possible   
   problems might there be in connecting to a hotel room's ethernet port   
   in this way?
