I have a T60p a/b/g/n wifi card.

I can connect to almost any open network that I can see but I'm having problems connecting to a hotel that I'm staying in for the next couple of weeks.

Vista tells me its has connected but I guess the hotel access point is not handshaking with me completley because I do not get an IP address or gatway ...

Other people are successfully connecting to the hotels wifi without any problems.

Any ideas please ?

Is the hotel using DHCP? Are you using DHCP?

The problem I sense here is that you need to configure your wireless settings according to hotel's network specification. Windows Vista has a better "Network Diagnostics Tool" integrated in IE that can detect and provide you a hint regarding the root cause of the problem.

Moreover, please look into some very handy instructions from GomJabbar in this thread.
