Default wireless problem...

So I am at a hotel and my buddies laptop with Vista says that it is connected to the internet, receiving info, etc...but the sites aren't loading...any ideas?

I have repaired/reset/cmd'd it and nothing is working. Any ideas?

Does the hotel require any sort of login or code?

Roommate suggested network connections/share network.

No idea what that'll do :shrug:

reboot and try reentering that code. Most hotels won't let you do anything until you jumped through a hoop.

We have rebooted, released and renewed the ip and it shows that he has an ip gateway and all the other things but it won't load in IE. (He doesn't have firefox)

is it sending/receiving packets at all?

if so it's probably on their end and not his.

Call the front desk and ask them to reset the router. Usually when I have problems like this at a hotel, it's on their end.
