Wifi problems

Hello to everyone, i recently buy a new dell laptop with vista home, i have
several problems with wifi networks, but odd ones, i have a wifi network at
home, the vista there works perfectly. But I try to use it on my college, and
it connects to the wifi network but i can't access any website. do anyone
else have the same issue?

do you have the proper security at college?
do you get an IP?

Ok i will send to you the ipconfig in text. the network does not have any
login security, it has a proxy server but in my xp machine i never configure
it. I dont try the DHCP flag because the college DHCP gives me an ip. but i
will try it anyway on friday. i try to ping the dns server and it find it,
but still not working with websites. thanks for your help.

I already try the and modify the DHCP flag, and still not working. Any other
suggestion? thanx for your time

you can try disabling IPv6 but that's a long shot. Is the college
wifi the only network you cannot connect to?
