Hotel Wireless Network issue

    Folks I'm in San Diego at the moment staying in what I thought was a pretty nice hotel, well from their website anyway it looks like a prison from the outside. But this is the least of my worries.

    We have two Laptops as were both working / holidaying here at the moment, the Internet access is $11 per day. Now I feel that I shouldn't have to pay $22 a day for both laptops. Most hotels have Ethernet access and you can just plug and play after you pay for access and it doesn't discriminate between laptops.

    Do any of you know how I can share the access between the laptops http://www.solutioninc.com/ offer the Internet access.

    SolInc use MAC for thier connection & billing tracking, so you'll have to do something very clever with faked MACs, or use ICS as degsie suggested.

    hmmmmm...1 lil problem here. You need 2 network cards in the host machine to do ICS.

    To the OP, is there a computer shop near you? If I were in your shoes, i'd buy a cheap 'BRODBAND', not ADSL, router. Linksys do a travel router and should be cheap enough in America. Also, buy enough network cables to connect from the wall into the router and also the 2 laptops into the LAN ports on the router etc.

    http://www.jiwire.com/linksys-wtr54gs-photo-image-gallery.htm on looking at this router, it only has 1 LAN port, so you would need a 4 or 5 port switch also.

    Another option is, do any of your laptops have wireless cards? If one of them does...you can do ICS on it and buy a wireless card for the other. The ICS PC will act as an Access Point with the wired and wireless being bridged together.
