Dumb me through wireless internet access please?

Question

Here's the deal. I use dialup. My laptop is geared up for wireless (and has ethernet port, as far as that goes). I take the laptop when I travel. Most motels/hotels have "free high-speed internet access." How do I use it??? Dumb me through it, in ***EASY***STEPS please, someone.

Here's what happened last time. I got the usual "wireless networks detected" balloon, then I connected to the one that had the motel's name. Then I started up a browser (actually I tried on several browsers, all with the same result). "No dial tone". So I truly don't know what I should be doing here!

Give me easy steps, like, where should I go and what should I click (especially and hopefully saving, not destroying, old settings, so I may restore them later?)

okaybsmith134 I saw that one and I also have Wireless for dummies but I don't need to *set up* a network I just need to get online at a motel!

OOps I spoke too soon I have submitted the question to that forum!
