Hi,
I'm having a problem where my laptop will not connect to any wifi hotspots. I can connect to my home network and the network at my mom's place, but when I go to say McDonald's where there's free wifi, my computer will see the network and say "limited" when I try to connect. It hangs forever in that state.
I brought a second laptop (also a Lenovo, on Win 7) to the McD's and it connected right away with no problem. My phone (Blue Studio Energy/KitKat) also connected right away.
Something is wrong on this laptop where I just can't connect at the library or restaurant etc. I tried the ipconfig/release renew thing and I always get an error after I try to renew:
No operation can be performed on Bluetooth Network Connection while it has its media disconnected.
No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 2 while it has its media disconnected.
No operation can be performed on Ethernet while it has its media disconnected.
An error occurred while renewing interface Wi-Fi : The operation was canceled by the user.
No idea what that means.
Any ideas on what's wrong? Thank you.
