Wireless connection problem, please help...

sparkthatbled

Hi guys, i just moved into a place in Portobello, right across the canal from the college. Naturally all the college wireless points are protected but there's one or 2 in the area free and when i try to connect it just pops up saying "connecting to network" for about 2 minutes and then the message dissapears without it having connected... Any idea what i can do to get connected?

If they're college AP's and you're meant to have access then contact the college IT dept.
Otherwise, go sit on the naughty step.

Naw, they dont belong to the college... All the college wireless points are properly protected. There's 2 free wifi connections in the area, i dunno where from but i cant seem to connect...

they might have mac filtering on them that prevents you being allocated an ip address.
