Hi,
Right... I moved into a hostel that provides 'freewire' in the bedrooms which in a leaflet you receive on arrival says "just plug the Ethernet cable into your laptop and once you're sent to the freewire website create a new user and password to get online!" After moving into my shared room I put an Ethernet cable into the router and connected to my pc, which then gave me the very annoying 'unidentified network'.
This problem occured last Tuesday. After a week of looking on the Internet, phoning the 'freewire' help line, and spending ÂŁ70 in PC world on them basically replacing my hard drive and doing a wipe of my laptop, still no solutions have been found.
I really have no idea what else to do or who else to ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Currently I've tried:
8Disabling and enabling my 'Local area connection'
Turning off firewalls
Using different browsers
I did at one point have a weird conversation with the freewire helpline. After going through some steps with one of the call centre helpers I was told to read out my physical address, which reads as '00-00-00-00-00-00'.
The person on the other end of the line was honest and said this address meant it was a problem with my computer, not the network (I.e its not his problem). Hence why I went to the computer shop pc world for a very expensive computer make over.
I'm sorry if this thread seems like one very mixed rant, however it is 1:47am and I am having to write the entire thing from my iPhone using a 3G connection.
Once again any help would be appreciated
Thanks
-Ben
