Windows machines using the same wireless network are fine.
I have seen hotels block the oddest things for no obvious reasons (ssh for instance). But in all cases it affected all platforms. I've never had this failure be specific to opensuse.
https should not be blocked, and if it appears to work in windows it might be some kind of certificate thingie. Is your 10.3 up to date? Can you visit a coffee shop to check it there?
Yeah, that's what I don't get either. I used it on the airport's wireless yesterday fine. I CAN ssh, but not sure how much I can really do over the connection. I tried forwarding vnc, but the connection fails as soon as I start to use it. My system is up to date. Not sure I'll be able to try another wireless or not, but it's going to be a long week if I don't have my laptop!
