setting up network

[Pollywog <linux-debian@shadypond.com>]

I am planning to stay at a hotel which has Internet access but I know nothing 
about the IP addresses they use.  I am assuming they use dhcp.  If I know 
nothing of their network, what is the most convenient way to get my laptop 
connected?  I am using KDE on a Debian Sarge system and my laptop is a 
Thinkpad (an old one) using a PCMCIA NIC.

I have pump and dhcp-client installed and also guessnet, but I have never used 
either of them.

thanks
