Your router would still be partaking in two different networks and NAT'ing between them and your router would have it's 24 bit subnet mask so any traffic from your laptop which would have been outside it's network would still go to the gateway and then in turn to it's gateway. Also I doubt that in reality they would have been using a 16 bit subnet on a class on a class C range. Did you have any problems? The only problems I have had in hotels is that sometimes the gateway IP address is outside the network of the IP address they assign to my system. In Windoze this doesn't seem to be an issue as it seems happy with a gateway outside it's subnet but in OS/2, Linux and OS9 (Embeded RTOS not Mac) this isn't allowed. So I have to static IP my laptop and massage the subnet mask.
