Default Help logging onto public WIFI
My neighborhood just setup a free WIFI system for us, but I can't seem to get on it.
I bought a Linksys WMP54G PCI wireless adapter for my tower.
It has great signal strength and connectivity with the public WIFI but no internet access.
With DHCP enabled it ends up with 0.0.0.0 as an IP address.
The public wifi is unsecured and doesn't need a logon or encryption key as far as I know.
The ringer is that there are 3 other open networks that show up also, all open, and when I try to connect to those also, the IP is still 0.0.0.0
What do I need to do to get this up and running?
