Re: cables/connectors for in-room internet?

actually I was using NetStumbler and the network was unsecure, no wep. If
anything, security might have been done through mac address filtering. I
was told by a staff member that others have not had a problem but that
person was obviously wrong. Strange though, the times I tried were part of
the contigous 24 hours that I had paid for to access the in room wired
connection, guess they are different systems.

In room you use the system by bringing up IE (or whatever browser you use)
and trying to go to a website, it will take you to the service ordering
page.
