Bob,
Most of the time motels have a card on the desk which will say what the SSID is.  I haven't had a problem yet finding the correct network when traveling.  But I have had to boot to Windoze


Meaning on the contrary you have had a problem.

Why is it you had to boot to Windy?


That was my reply.  Every once in a while the Motel Router won't give OS/2 a lease so I have to boot to Windoze to get the router, dns and ip address.  After manually configuring I can then connect just fine.  I haven't had to do this in a year or two though.

But last month I was in a Holiday Inn and I got a lease but the router and the IP I got were on two different networks so OS/2 wouldn't work but Windoze would.  I had to manually configure OS/2 and change the subnet mask to a 24 bit mask and it then worked fine.  Strange.
Sam
