WiFi AP - limited connectivity message

BTW, the AP is open/un-secure, does not ask for WEP/WAP.

I am getting IP = 194.254.74.8 and if past posts on this problem still hold, this could a bogus IP when the network failed to supply me a good IP via DHCP.

OK, 9 repeats of the same message is more than enough...

Got to ask the obvious, have you asked if this *should* work?

It could be possible that they haven't finished the deployment or that there is an upstream problem. Just because you've got an association and an IP address doesn't mean there's necessarily a connection to anything else!

Ask nursing staff to give you the telephone number of the IT staff. They will answer all your questions. ...if they can be found. Normally, one goes to the floor with their offices and follow the trail of Cheetos crumbs to the locked closet where they play Everquest while eating Cheetos and drinking Mountain Dew. You might get lucky.

No, that would be 169.254.y.z.

Again, have you made enquiries as to whether this is a true visitor network that you should be able to connect through?

It could be a rogue hotspot for all you know otherwise.

You didn't actually get an IP -- that's what the yellow triangle/exclamation mark means.

Derek, sorrry for the multiple post. I swear it wasn't me. When I refresh after that post, I noticed that too and deleted all but one. I don't know what happen to that posting. Sorry (nine times!).
