The ASUS K53E laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium is experiencing issues with internet access on various Wi-Fi networks, including home and hotel connections. Although the laptop connects to these networks, it fails to provide internet access. The initial setup by the school IT department allowed for connections to the school network, but subsequent attempts to connect to home and hotel Wi-Fi have resulted in similar access problems. Potential solutions include checking for firewall settings that may be blocking internet access and reviewing the advanced TCP/IP configuration for any misconfigurations.

My wife has an ASUS laptop K53E series Notebook running Windows 7 Home Premium which she bought to use at her work (she is a teacher), the school part purchased with her and had the school IT set up everything.
The problem started when the school IT wonk set up the WIFI to connect to the school system (worked OK), but while it would connect to our home LAN would not allow internet access. After several visits to the IT guy he got it working so that it would connect to home LAN and give internet access. Last week we were away on a short holiday and in the hotel it would connect to the hotel WIFI but again blocked internet access, does anyone have any ideas as to why the computer is blocking internet access and how to remove the block?

Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
