I recently bought a new desktop computer for school and i cannot get it to connect to the internet. It says unidentified network with limited connection but no internet access. I have the right cat5 ethernet cable and the proper drivers are installed. There is windows 8 loaded on the computer, i dont know if this maters but there is a Cisco Aironet 1140 router in the hall, i only say that cause in all the other posts every one asks. I tried looking up the IP address and DNS from my macbook air but after days of no results I've almost given up. Assistance would be greatly appreciated- Thanks.
 
Solution
that usually means you are not authenticating to the router. Some of the reasons could be that you are to far away from the router, or you mistyped the password, or the wifi password has changed.
