It seems like you're facing connectivity issues with a public wireless network after upgrading your computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate. The message "network not identified, no internet access" indicates that although your computer can connect to the network, it's unable to establish a proper connection for internet access. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue: 1.
Reconnect to the Network: - Forget the network and try reconnecting to it again. Sometimes re-establishing the connection can resolve the issue. 2.
Reset TCP/IP Stack: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:
Code:
netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset
3.
Update Network Drivers: - Ensure that your network adapter drivers are up to date. You can check for driver updates in the Device Manager. 4.
Check Network Settings: - Make sure that the network settings on your computer are configured correctly. Check if the network is set to obtain an IP address automatically. 5.
Disable Security Software: - Temporarily disable any security software, such as firewall or antivirus, that may be blocking the connection. 6.
Check Network Configuration: - Verify that the network at your workplace does not have any restrictions or requirements (like a captive portal) that you need to address to get internet access. 7.
Network Troubleshooter: - Use the built-in Network Troubleshooter in Windows 7 to diagnose and fix common networking problems. You can access it by right-clicking on the network icon in the taskbar and selecting "Troubleshoot problems." 8.
Restart Router: - If possible, restart the router or contact your workplace IT support to check if there are any network issues from their end. Try these steps one by one and see if any of them help resolve the issue with connecting to the public wireless network at your workplace. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you encounter any specific errors during these troubleshooting steps.
