Unable to connect to wireless network

Hello all,
I am currently in a hotel (in Germany) with my laptop, which has an SMC wireless
card. This card connects with no difficulty to my Linksys wireless router at home
in Canada. In the hotel they have an open wireless network with password access for
guests (I have the password), but I am unable to get on this. Other Canadian guests
have managed to connect fine. It shows that the link is active and there is a signal,
but I cannot ping the router or access point, nor can I receive an ip address etc.
from the router. I have manually set an IP address, subnet mask and dns server as
well as gateway, but am still not able to get online.
I thought perhaps there was a problem with the wireless card, so purchased another
one here and the results were the same.
I am running XP SP2 with the latest updates.
I am really desperate to get online with my own laptop as there is an emergency at
home and I need to use it to message and call. Has anyone any idea of what might
be going on? I can receive email in the hotel lobby, so will receive any replies.
Many thanks,
Ellie
