Do you get a limited connection warning after waiting for a while? if so, you have to configure your IP settings manually.

Otherwise, maybe the signal strength is too low to establish a connection.

EDIT: what OS are you running? my first statement is for windows only... in linux it doesn't show any warning like that.

um, if you don't have "official" permission to connect (I assume you haven't) it's most likely caused by a MAC restriction, so only specific MAC addresses are allowed to connect....the network still looks "open", but it isn't (at least not to everyone).
you could try to sniff packets, analyze them (getting the MAC I mean) and spoof yours then.

b_b is right... its always better to have official permission than trying to sneak a use. just like better to visit a friend using the front door than try visiting him sneaking from the back door. ahihihi ^^,
