I have a wireless network set up, it's completely open right now because I'm still having problems getting it to work. Anyways the computer I'm trying to get on the network with it can see the network, has 4 green bars, yet it won't connect to the network.

What do I do?

    this happened to me.

    reset your IP.

    If you've got a static one set on the computer, change it to dynamic, or reset that too.

    go to network connections

    then, right click on your connection (be it wireless, or Ethernet), select properties

    then you should get this window

    so do those steps....

    Under the "General Tab" select to obtain the IP and DNS servers automatically.

    Click ok, you'll be set.

    Hopefully that helps.

    EDIT: I hope you all love my minimalist desktop.
