To connect using the Motel's hot spot I opened Internet Connect and
inserted the network name. That was it.

Hi Merv,
I couldn't be sure but perhaps the motel set up the router with the default
settings - what details did the motel give you?
I'd say the belkin54g is probably left open and is offering itself to your Mac,
and your security settings are set to have you confirm before you join unknown
networks.

Gavin, would this mean I would be joining someones private network or is it an
open network? At home if I look at the pull down menu at the wireless icon I
see my own network and one called Belkin_N1_A1FAEA. Both are locked. I don't
remember checking under the wireless icon for belkin54g but I assume it was not
locked. Strange?

Hi Merv,
Sounds like a Belkin router with the default settings.

While spending a few perfect days in Cervantes I connected to the net using a USB modem.
In fact, I didn't need it as the motel was a hotspot. However I tried it and a message
came up, "Your trusted networks are not available would you like to connect to
belkin54g"? I didn't like the tone of the message so I said no and used the motel's
network.
Any advice on belkin54g?
Cheers
Merv
