The Howard Johnson [1] we're staying at can't configure their wireless
network.

Yes, I was assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) of 192.168.255.101 (with a
netmask of 255.255.255.0) yet my gateway was defined as 192.168.8.1.

No XXXXXXX wonder I couldn't connect out. I just reassigned myself the IP of
192.168.8.240 (netmask of 255.255.255.0) and it worked just fine.

Sheesh!
