    Need Technical Advic

    I am going to down to Hattiesburg MS for 60 days due to my job and I will be living in a Fairfield Inn during that time. I am going to take my 360 down and the room has free high speed internet access, but I am very skeptical about being able to hook it up and it working properly.

    Has anyone hooked their 360 via hotel and was it simple, hard or just totally not possible to do? I would imagine that the Hotel has so many firewalls that it is virtually impossible to hook it up.

    Any ideas gentlemen. I have until Friday 3:00 to see what I can do before I run out of time.

    Let me know.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yeah but playing in a big hotel can cause a crapload of lag for ya. Depending how many people are using it. I remember I brought my PSP to NYC last November and it was a bitch to get online because there were so many people on the internet. The PSP is already slow at browsing the net, imagine it 10x worse than what it is on a perfect connection.

    Last hotel i stayed in only had wireless net access and the tv only had RF input... but i have seen wired ethernet before at a hotel.

    I talked to a friend of mine and he said that the RF input is pretty standard for hotel TVs.
