Squid, one thing to try is take your laptop to the centralized office and see if you can get a signal and connect.

If you can then the problem is with the strength of signal from them and your ability to pick it up.  See how far away you can go before you loose the signal (There are various ways of trying to deal with it but the upshot is that if the signal isn't strong enough then they need to put in some type of booster or you do to strengthen that signal for any chance of connecting to the network).
We have just come back from holiday and took our laptop with us.  The only way we could get a signal on the hotel network was to switch off the onboard wireless card and use a network adapter via lots of usb cables strung together and hung over the outside door.  Our friends who were at the opposite side of the hotel couldn't get a signal at all no matter what they tried.  He's a network engineer so it's not like he didn't know what he was doing either.

If you can't connect in such close proximity then the problem is with your system, you haven't got it set up properly etc.  If it was password protected you would still see the signal just not be able to connect to the network.

Until you have done these tests you don't know where the problem originates from.

Hope this helps :)

No responses?  How about if I throw in a lakeside bbq with tons of beer?

If it's a secure connection, you'll likely need the password to be able to connect, but that doesn't sound like the problem you're having.  So, can I still get the lakeside bbq?  Don't drink no alchiehol but will gladly eat the grub!

I hate not having computer access at the lake.  Can anyone help me?
Have you set up that laptop to connect to the wireless connection at the vacation home?

Control Panel>>Network and Sharing Center>>Connect to a Network>>Set up a Connection

Not sure if you have to toggle between the two but I do not when I go from my home to where I stay on my frequent disneyland trips - my set up does it but I am not sure if it looks for one of the two on the Connection Panel.

I have 5 college kids renting the house next to me and 2 of their computers are closer to me than the wireless signal which is kept in my grandsons bedroom on the other side of my home. My computer, when booting, will tell me that there are other signals. If I thought one of them would stay longer than a few months I would get rid of the DSL in my grandsons room and use theirs since they do not have a password lock on it. Any college student should know better than to not have passwords! :{:

Funny you should mention this. I was at our local library today and found mostly teen boys in the parking lot sitting in their cars. I knew they had the day off from school (Teachers Conferences) and I was thinking how nice it was to see teens interested in books as I walked to the door. The library was locked - Closed on Mondays! As I got back to my car I said<b> "Closed"</b> to the boys and they said <b>"Yep, that's why we are here"</b>. Then I looked closer and saw them playing games online in their cars on laptops. I asked them if the library forgot to turn off the internet signal and they said that the library never turns it off and they are there most evenings after it closes. So there you go - public wifi. And it keeps the kids out of our canyon which has more danger than WOW fields.

No, not at work but if you have a laptop and it is wireless capable, you can hook into any public wifi connection. All you need is a peer-to-peer sharing program, like Limewire.

Yeah, it did the same thing to me, but that is Google's IP address. Sorry it didn't work from here or by copying and pasting. I tried both ways too after I read your post.
