Thanks for pointing this out; I had actually experienced this phenomenon a few days ago. I knew something was wrong when the IP address I received was from the hotel and not from the Asus. Rebooting the Asus solved the problem, but now I know why it happened and can avoid it. ^

If you try this, please let us know how well it works. I don't often use inflight WiFi, but if I can share the cost of one connection with a travel companion (or two?), it would make it a lot more palatable to my pocketbook!
