I forgot to say that the hotel IT guy put in a seperate url for a page that he is authorized to access for the hotel, but even it didn't work. We couldn't get online with that page, and the browser wouldn't launch to that page.
I don't know how much time you have to play around, but program Wireshark is very effective to tell where connection stops. It is in openSUSE repositories.
I agree with everybody that it may be a routing problem and wireshark is very good. You could also try traceroute first as a simpler test.

Hi, thanks to everyone for all the replies. I left China this morning early and didn't have time to try any of the solutions offered. I will be going back to the same hotel in China in the future and will use traceroute & wireshark to see if I can find a solution to the problem. On the flight up here today, I realized that I hadn't mentioned that I tried to use Opera to log in to the hotel network in Vista, and had the same result as I did in Linux with all the browsers I mentioned in my original post. So I suppose that the problem is somehow connected to IE in windows, it must have something that no other browser has that allows one to log in to the network and the internet. I will post more on this thread the next time I visit that hotel, sometime in the future. Mark
