Dave,
Another thought about AP's.  I have two AP's and two Bridges on my
network and they all are on the wrong network.  I have rearranged my
IP scheme a few times over the last 10 years and they are now on the
incorrect network, however they pass traffic to my computers and
printer just fine, which are on the correct network.

So if your AP has a static IP you would have to static IP your laptop
to the same network to reconfigure it.  I would think that the wifi
traffic from your laptop would still have gotten to your AP's wired
port and onto the hotels network even though it is static IP'd on a
different subnet.  Unless of course there was a IP address conflict.

Again this is all subjective and just my opinion so it may not be worth muc=
h.
Sam
