[X Newbies] Airport in a hotel room

[Aranzazu]

>Good evening,

>(80211.b) and plug it into the high speed internet that comes in the hotel

As long as your base station is set up for dhcp you should have no 
problems. it would be just simple as hooking up the ethernet cable 
and then plugging in your ABS. and 30-40 seconds after that you both 
should be surfing the web.

>internet by launching a web browser?

If the connection is ethernet it is on and connected (so you will be 
charged) the second the ABS is on.
