Connected but no internetacces with wifi
Hello people! I have a problem I can't solved. Excuses for my English, I am from Holland.I always used to login on the free (no web or wpa) Wifi accespoint at my work. Since last mounth I can't login anymore. It shows a good connection but als NO intenetacces. My IP-adress shows 169.254.xxx.xxx and the subnetmask 255.255.000.000. My I-phone shows the same info, but has no problem to connect.At home (Mac adress safety) and by my mother (WEP safety) both Wifi, everything works fine.It happened after a weekend in a holidayhouse where I connected there shortly with a hotspot. I payed the connection with my Skypeaccount. Mayby it has nothing to do with it, but it's strange the problem occured after then. Is it possible that the hotspot company (KPN fron Holland) or Skype made some changes in my settings?I looked for weeks now on internet and my settings, but the answer for my problem is not there. My Wifi adapter must be OK because it works fine somewhere else. The router from my work looks fine to, because my I-phone work great on it.I hope somebody can help me with this problem.Windows 7 64 HomeThanks in advandce 1 person needs an answerI do too

HiIP of 169.254.xxx.xxx means that your Wireless adapter is trying to connect but cannot get an IP, thus assigning the Windows self default IP.Given that you can connect else where my guess would be that something in the free Hotspot does Not let you to logon and get a functional IP..You should contact the owner of the free Hoptspot and find out what the story is.
