Re my previous message, it appears the need for frequent re-activation of the connection is due to just losing the DNS information. I can stay connected while using ssh or telnet. But anything requiring names instead of ip's stops after a few minutes.
If the hotel doesn't block udp port 53 you should be able to run your own dns server. if its installed service named start should get it running. you could test it with dig google.com @127.0.0.1 if it doesn't time out you should be able to configure your network to use that as its DNS and you would be away.
