hey its ya boy D.C.
I WANT TO KNW WHAT ITS MEANS WHEN UR WIRELESS CONNECTS TO A WIRELESS NTWRK
N IT SAYS  (limited or no connectivity).
ITS REALLY ANNOYING BCUS THERE ARE LOTS OF WIRELESS NTWRKS IN MY AREA N MY LAPTOP CANT USE THEM.
ITS IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY GET YOU THE SETTINGS BT IT DOESNT.Y? Y? Y?
  SOME PLS XPLAIN

limited or no connectivity means there is connectivities btw the two nodes but no routing takes place. Are u acquiring IP through DHCP or STATIC ?.
It could be low signal strength.

rightly said, low sigbal could be the issue if u r expected to get the settings automatically.

its supposed to gt me the i.p automatically bt it will say limited connectivity.
someone said its bcus they are intranet ntwrks!!!
whats dat?

if its supposed to get you an ip address automatically, then it means the issue here is poor signal its either you try to come out in open space and take a height (that is move to a place with a higher elevation) or you save your self the stress and get yourself a wireless radio.

The issue isn not poor signal, The Wifi networks in your area have probably been locked down to prevent unauthorised access. So unless ur good at hacking etc you have to keep hoping that one day, a free wifi access point will pop upin your area

chairman, basically, there are two security options provided in public wi-fi system to the best of my knowledge, i stand to be corrected,

1. WEP. This one would require a user to enter a particular HEX key provided by the service provider and from the post, it is very clear that WEP is not the case here.

2. MAC ADDRESS AUTHENTICATION: this one would not allow you connect atall. If you don't connect, you cannot even try to obtain an ip address and the poster is trying to obtain an ip address,

so what are you not talking?
