It turns out I was getting on and out anyway, and didn't know it. Tim pointed out that I needed to click on the network/server called 'tsunami' on the airport pop-up menu in the control strip. What threw me off there was that I coincidentally have a network server *also* called 'tsunami' back at my office. I thought it was a phantom of a prior setting.
Also confusing: the network *really was* down some of the time, and in some of the places inside the hotel I was picking up a *different* 802.11b signal that belonged to the hotel and required authentication via the browser window to which all my browsing got redirected. But after awhile opening new windows bypassed that one and I was able to connect anyway.
FWIW, I still need to disable all the airport extensions to make ethernet or dial-up work at the other hotel. That's where I am now. PITA, it is.
