Default As soon as I start Limewire...my MAC addy gets blocked help?

Im at a hotel that has a wireless network and I have been trying to figure out how to use limewire here, but as soon as I start limewire, my computer loses all connectivity to the network. I assume its an automated mac address blocker because it is almost instant.

I can change my mac address and get back on the network and internet, but if I start up limewire again, same thing happens again.

When I log onto the network and open up IE i am redirected to http://www.bestwestern.com/speedlinks/ where I have to agree to the terms and conditions.

What kind of setup is this? Why am I being redirected to that webpage? How can I get around having my mac addy blocked? or can I? is there any way that I can make my mac address invisible? or at least misleading?
