Wireless - Limited Connectivity (Invalid IP Address)

[morkus64]

So, i basically take my laptop between home and school. Each time I get to home or school it tries to connect to the available network and says limited or no connectivity. When I repair the connection it works, but then when I connect to my home network later, I get the same problem. Repair it, it works, but when I go back to school I have the same problem again!

What's going on? Clearly it's something with my computer, with my settings, but what should I even be looking for?

Not sure what cause exactly but try using the wireless adapter's software. If you have an Intel one, you can set up different profile, set one as primary so it will automatically connect to that first, then if unsucessful, it will try in order the rest.

Are you in a dorm? I believe your school has fixed IP in dorm's ethernet outlet and at home you have dynamic IP allocation. So your wireless adapter still remembers its school setting. If you do the profilling with Intel software, it will automatically fix it for you.
