Unidentified Network, No internet access, tricky problem.
Wow.
I am officially stumped. Maybe someone here can offer some insight.
I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite, nothing special, but it gets the job done. I don't have internet at home and go to multiple locations to get wi-fi. The one I use the most is a hotel down the street. It has the fastest connection speed and it is closest to home. For whatever reason, the connection no longer works there. I've taken the laptop elsewhere and it works fine, so it obviously isn't something specific to my laptop.
Here's where it gets tricky. I've also been able to connect to the network at the hotel with my android phone and an old dell laptop I had laying around, and it works beautifully, so it isn't something with strictly the network.
That can only mean it has to be something to do with the way the two are communicating I would assume.
I've tried deleting some programs (apparently both AVG and Bonjour that came with iTunes have caused issues in the past), I've set a static IP address to the best of my ability, I've refreshed the TCP/IP config, I've done a winsock reset, and more. I can't for the life of me figure out why it still can't connect to the internet.
Any ideas for now?
I'll add my ipconfig later when I actually go somewhere that I can access the internet to post from that laptop. In the meantime suffice it to say that the only thing out of the ordinary is that the Default Gateway is blank.
Thanks in advance
