Thanks.
Which hotel blocks port 80?
Blocking port 80 kills basic web browsing functionality. I've stayed at most of the major chains and have never found my basic web browsing capability to be blocked. My access to email (via Outlook) is blocked but that is by my work firewall and not anything the hotels have done.
