Wireless Network problem

    I was searching last night for wireless networks on my laptop and I pick up three- two of which were locked and one which was open . I connected to the open one as i think it is a public one.

    When i connected using the intel pro set wireless, it showed that it was connected.I tried to use internet explorer to get onto the web , but it wouldnt connect. I then tried to establish a connection in windows but it wouldnt work - why is this . Are there any other steps that i need to take or do or is there a reason windows wouldnt pick it up but the chip will.

    Should I have been assigned an ip address by the people who are sending the signal ?

    when i click on the properties of the signal the ip address is
    192.168. something i think

    A 192.x.y.z address is most likely not on a public network, its probably a private network installed by someone who didn't secure it.

    Ok , but what is preventing me from logging on to it. I am just curious as i am thinking of getting wireless myself and i thought it would be good, but if there is a problem with it and my laptop i wont bother

    whats preventing you is that you dont have the WEP encry. code thingy.


    and your not paying for it ;-)
