Tell me! I think every hotel has its own little quirky way to try to prevent you from using their hotspot!. The Hilton in Munich is so bad, while advertizing highspeed internet access in every room --- well, even their business center with only one chair to use! is sorely limited. You pray to the Lord to get a signal. So , my motto is : hope for the best; when all else fails, use the telephone. But there is one question I have: who gives the numbers to these ports? iTunes is 3689, Printer sharing 631 and 515, remote log-in 22 etc-. Why these wild numbers without any , at least to me, reason? Marta On Aug 19, 2004, at 19:42, Jonathan Fletcher wrote:
