I have two ways to get to the internet. I am connected to Hughesnet satellite for high speed and am now able to connect via a wifi system located on the next property (I have their permission to connect). I plan to stop with hughesnet since I can use the wifi for free. Up until yesterday I could use both but for reasons unknown to me I am unable to get hooked up with the wifi. I am using a cantenna with a usb system which has allowed my computer to receive the wifi signal without having to get a card installed. When I disable the hughesnet connection and try to enable the wifi, I see that it is trying to acquire the IP address without success no matter how long I let it try. On the page for the network connections, I can see an address when connected to hughesnet, but only zeros when it is trying to acquire the address for wifi. Any ideas as to if this is a thing with my computer or is it the wifi system that is not sending the address? The status page shows a strong 54Mbps signal. Being the weekend I have not been able to talk to anyone next door to see if they are having any problems on their wireless computers. I friend who knows computers quite well came over but could not get things going. Any help is welcomed
