On the hotel network, I have also seen some issues beyond getting an address=
. I can usually trace just fine, but applications, specifically web is extre=
mely slow, or non responsive. The hotel appears to be shoving all traffic th=
rough a squid proxy, which does not appear to be big enough to handle the tr=
affic. I have gotten various error messages from squid.
I would think that the contract with the hotel for the conference would incl=
ude the specific requirements for the network. Is that not the case?
