Windows vista recognizes wifi signal but won't connect to the internet?

I messed with the TCPIP and Network settings for days before I found the WINSOCK RESET. Click on Start then Run then type in "cmd" and hit enter. At the command prompt type: "netsh winsock reset" and hit enter.

Then reboot.

1 Actually you stated your own answer: This computer works fine on a secured wifi - but will not connect on unsecured (public) network. Your network settings..........ARE SET FOR SECURE........IN ADVANCED SETTINGS...change that but remember then all you do is fully broadcast to the world around you....Personally, I would not do that because of security reasons: But, yes you have the option to drop the security levels!Blessings...........Annlee .

2 I would talk to the administrator of this "public" network, and I would also be very suspicious of any such entity. Entirely possible the network isn't connected to the internet, and is little more than a vehicle for some blackhat to steal your files and/or infect your computer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
