Why won't my laptop connect to the internet?

I can connect wirelessly at home with no problems. At school, there are two different wireless networks to choose from. I can't really connect to either of them. It takes forever to try and connect, then it says that it's connected, but I can't get to the internet or connect my instant messenger or anything like that. So it's not really connected. My fiance's not really sure what's going on with it. Anybody have a clue what's going on?

 

Yeah.

You are connecting to the wifi router but the router is not connecting you to the Internet. Do any other students at that school get online via the schools wifi?

 

If its a college and your enrolled just simply go to the IT department and they normally will get you set right up. If I had to guess your missing out on a setting that needs to be checked alot of times this will allow you to "connect" but leave ya stranded on the on ramp to the information super highway.
