DNS is used to initially resolve a text name (e.g. www.skype.com to 78.141.177.7). Once you've got that resolution, then all networking operations just use the numeric IP address; so existing resolved connections will continue to work. Even if you disconnect and then reconnect, the result of the lookup will still be in the local cache on the system, so it will probably be able to reconnect. Since DNS is often a blocker, that's why I raise it as a potential issue. It may be that no DNS lookups work from your laptop once it's connected. You can verify this by opening a Terminal (presumably, outside of the network first!) and then once connected executing a lookup for a domain you haven't looked up before (say, www.foo.com) by doing 'host www.foo.com'. This should come back with a numeric result; if it doesn't, or takes time, then your DNS is suspect. Note that using a browser to do this test is invalid, since the browser may be connected to a proxy and not do any local lookups.
