Connected but no internet access in open network at hostel

Hello everybody,

Thank you all for your suggestions. I am happy to say that it now works, I did all things that you proposed so I am not sure which one helped. Thanks again!

Interesting how it works right after I posted the McAfee removal tool.

I'm curious if you ran the tool to remove McAfee or not?

@ chev65:

I did not run the tool. McAfee was not installed in the first place (in that sense, my post in the first thread may have been a little misleading but since a lot of people had issues with this I thought I mention that it is not installed, should have said never installed)

I am actually not certain what exactly helped as I always had to go through a nearby wlan spot at the university to which I could connect to look at the suggestions and then tried out a number of things (to then walk back and see whether there was a change). I also uninstalled some software (although to be honest, there was no real system behind it and I do not think that this was really the cause). I will see whether I can find other people here who initially had the same problems and then see what might help them as well.
