I have a question. My building has wireless access via a hotspot from a non-for- profit agency that registered the SSID.

An electric block occurred and for a second Thursday morning, knocking out the lights and forcing my pc to re boot. After that I haven’t been able to connect toward the net.

My connection tells me it’s “acquiring for an IP address”.

I tried to put non valid IP's... It showed a connection but the IP addresses wasn’t valid given they wasn’t from the routers DHCP.

Given the router for the building isn’t within my range so how do I configure this problem?

Do, I talk to the manager about re booting the router or configuring it so the DHCP can send an IP.

How do explain this situation to someone who is a newbie toward all things wireless.

Remember I don’t have access to the router nor the AP’s. So, I’m limited in what I can do on my own and trust me, I tried numerous situations.

Any information is appreciated.
