Networking through a wall?

By wall I mean on of these places that you get on and it asks for PW...like at these hotels and Buisness Conference areas.

We have a conference room where only one unit can get on at a time. Isnt there a way to network off that one unit or even better put a WAP in there and all the units go off that WAP?

Theory there I am thinking that the "Wall" is using like an IP for its detection....If you have a WAP w/ an IP and then just VPN the rest off of that? Talking out my butt here so help me out w/ this!

TIA

    If this conference room is part of a company network, make sure they'll allow you to connect the WAP. We take measures at my place of work to prevent people from doing such things. It can be a HUGE breach of security.

    This is a set of commercial building that one of our field units have a office at where we have a conference room. However on the wall there is a # to call to get the PW to acess the Net...however only one seems to beable to hook up at the any one time...even w/ a WAP....

    I havent been there and tried a WAP yet...but I am not sure how they could block it!....is that possible....supposedly they hooked a WAP up to it and when each of them tried to access the net it asked them for the PW...and when they put it in it something about already being used...

    Does that make since? Like I said this is all second hand...my first time at the field office will be in 2 wks.

    Easy enough to block all the traffic is going through a proxy so if they get weird IP/Packet requests it gets denied.

    It's possible but I can't answer definitively unless I was there to actually try it. It's going to go down to trial and error to see if you can get around it.
