Has anyone tried this? Any luck? I'm going to Memphis April 5th in support of my wife for a work function. I will be stuck with nothing to do for two days. Holiday Inn Express has high speed internet included in their rooms. I imagine it's just an ethernet port.

This would be good info for future reference. I'm going to bring it along and give it a try. I hope it works.
Every hotel Ive ever been in (and Ive been in a LOT of hotels) the first time you connect, you have to accept their agreement on a web page. From there on out, that port in the room is tied to the MAC address of the machine you connected with. I dont see how you could get past the initial web page from an Xbox.
You could possibly try a router...that way you could hook a computer up to it to accept the agreement and then it wouldnt matter what you hooked up to the router because the MAC wont change. Most routers will also allow you do spoof a MAC, so you could hook up the computer, log onto the web page, and then spoof the computers MAC on the router and teh hotels ISP is none the wiser.

I don't want to do all of that. I was hoping to just plug and play. I'll call the hotel and see what they can tell me. Thanks for the info!
I thought the Xbox let you spoff MAC address. I thought in the network settings in advanced, you could set the MAC manually if you wanted. Not sure but I thought.
Okay i'm here and no dice. It's wireless internet, and the t.v's Rca plugs are blocked. I can't do anything. This sucks. I'm soooo bored.
