I have a Toshiba R150 laptop pc and set up wireless connection at home and
works correctly. I also use it at various locations without any issues.
Recently, I encountered failure connection in two locations where are at our
suppliers. The first one was that I could not connect to the AP with given
password. I went together with my colleagues who worked with the AP without
issue. Yesterday, I visited another supplier who had an AP without any
password. My colleagues worked very well except me. I could connect the AP
but my computer always said my IP was same as others and failed to work
properly. I have no cure how to diagnostic it and trace the cause. Can
someone advise me how to track down the issues.

Ensure you have the latest hardware device driver and software for your
wireless device from the wireless device manufacturer.

Beyond that - you could just have a poor wireless device.

Are you sure you use DHCP to get an IP address dynamically ?

The last time something like this happened to me, it was because the
laptop had a wireless-B (802.11b) adapter. Although many wireless-G
routers are configured to work with both G and B, some routers may be
set to wireless-G (802.11g) only.
 
Thanks for your advice. Let me search to see if I can find any latest
driver and/or ConfigFree utility software.
 
My computer is configured to be compatible with 802.11 b & g. Regardless of
802.11 b or g AP, my notebook should receive correctly.
