OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

The last couple of times I lugged my laptop outside the comforts of home, it wouldn't connect to the internet. It connects to the network available, but not the internet. Sometimes it works, like in my last hotel, but most of the time at hotels or airports it won't work. It used to work at my in-laws house, but now it won't anymore.

Any ideas on why it connects to the network but not the internet?

Google is amazing, you should give it a whirl sometime.

"First, go into your Control Panel / Network Connections / either the Local Area Connection Properties or the Wireless Connection Properties, whichever is giving you the trouble / TCP/IP Properties, and make sure that IP address and DNS are set to "automatically obtain." Also click the Advanced button and make sure that nothing is explicitly entered for Default Gateway, nor anything on the DNS tab.

Secondly, run the Winsock fix per this article:

I don't have a camera specific one, but techbargains.com in general is solid.
