Wi-Fi connection problems

I am running EI7 and Vista Basic Home Edition. When I go to my college, or
even at Borders Bookstore, I cannot get on the Internet. I can connect to
the wireless network and it says I have an excellent connection, but when I
click on IE to get on the Internet, the screen comes up and says that I do
not have an internet. I have a wireless router at home and can connect with
no problems. It also picks up the neighbor's wireless signal and can connect
to it with no problems. I have clicked
"Diagnose" to try to correct the problem and have used every suggestion that
comes up, from disconnecting and reconnecting to the network, to resetting
the IP address. Please help. This is a very irritating problem. If you
have any suggestions, please use layman's terms as I am not a computer person
and am not familiar with the jargon.

you need to post the text output of

ipconfig /all

from an elevated command prompt when the machine is in this
condition (not when you have connectivity).

it is really impossible to diagnose based on what you've posted thus
far.

In the "Start Search" box at the bottom of the Start Menu, type in
"CMD" and press enter. Then type in the command in the new window...

I think this is what you are looking for. I went into command prompt and
typed ipconfig/all and here's what i got. FYI: At this time, I was
"connected" the the network that I am having problems with but still couldn't
get online.

I read the info on the link you gave me, Malke, and saw the part that
explains how to disable the IPv6 but I do not understand the jargon used. I
don't know anything about the registry editor or binary codes and things of
that sort. Is there any way you could explain this in much more simpler
terms.
