Hmmm... interesting problem.



You have two possibilities - either:



1) The Hotspot's blocking you for some reason



(doesn't like your IP address / the MAC address of your wifi / your browser / who knows)



Solution: Go into the hotspot and say you have a colleague coming in from out of town, that you've mentioned the place and ask if they have any set-up for access he should be prepared for. Ask them the steps so that there are no hassles.



2) Something's gone wonky in your computer.



Solution: Start up Google Earth and look up a new place on it. Vancouver, BC perhaps? I, personally, think Google Earth's running off the info it downloaded before, hence the check.
