For a lot of "public" wifi networks, it's not even a firewall, it's that the access points are set to client isolation mode (so the AP only allows clients to talk to the gateway). It's basically an extra security layer on their part to keep customer A from causing problems for customer B.
So then you do need your own access point/router. On newer Android devices, you can re-share the wifi with hotspot mode, so don't need any additional equipment. -- Chris Adams linux@cmadams.net --

Not something I could get around sitting in a hotel room. The solution I mentioned about using port 80 for ssh was something I used when I was at a conference in DC and the host only allowed http/https traffic to machines outside the building. I used it to ssh to a machine that was outside, so it wasn't like this case of trying to get two machines behind the firewall together...
