Hi,
I moved into my new apartment recently and configured our wireless router. But when I try to connect, I get stuck on "Identifying... Local Only". My apartment-mates don't seem to have this problem. I am honestly getting very frustrated with this and have searched the internet for solutions but nothing has worked.
I have Windows Vista, and this is a Lenovo Y550 Ideapad.
In case you were going to ask for it, here's the copy-paste from ipconfig/all:

I am currently connected to my router through an ethernet cable, which works fine. Could somebody help me figure out the solution to this?
Thanks,
James
