I can connect to wireless in coffeeshops, etc. That is, the Wireless

IBM ThinkPad.
About all anyone can say based on the above is:
Evidently, it's broken. Sorry to hear it.
You'll need to gather more info. ipconfig /all output from the
command prompt while yer connected to see if you got an ip address or
not, try pinging the default gateway that's listed after you
"connect", verify that the wireless adapter is set for dhcp, tell us
what web browser(s) you've tried, how many coffee shops have you tried
this at, any software firewall stuff that might be swallowing up dhcp
communication on the wireless, s are you sure the access points you're
trying to join are open or don't require additional information to
join, what wireless chipset your thinkpad has, have the drivers ever
been updated, etc.
In general, perhaps try to seem a little more invested in your own
problem than you exect others to be.
