Does anybody know if I can connect a router to a BT Openzone hotspot? I need to connect 4 PCs to a hotspot at a hotel. I'm hoping I can do this via a router, so we will only have to pay for one connection. Does anybody know for sure?
Hmmm, good question.
I guess it's possible if you have a router that can use the wireless as the WAN side (i.e. a Linksys WRT54GS running the Sveasoft firmware).

I'd not really considered that the routers wouldn't have wireless on the WAN side.
After another brief think, we should be able to use (Windows XP) ICS on one of the machines, acting as a gateway, shouldn't we? If this was the case we would require only 1 wireless adaptor also.
Have wifi in one machine, then with the same machine share that connection that machine recieves with the rest. I think thats what you were saying and it will work.

Yea. Two wireless cards in one laptop & Internet Connection Sharing should do the rest.
