Default I have Vista Home Basic on an EMachines desktop PC

And I recently installed a Linksys Wireless PCI card to link to the
local WiFi hotspot in my hometown. It worked for about a week with no
problems, then all of a sudden I was able to connect to the wireless
signal just fine-but I'm not able to access the Internet at all.
Instead of being able to access the internet, I get either a limited
connectivity or local only message. I've tried just about everything
to get my access back, and NOTHING has worked. Any suggestions would
be VERY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Might be that the Hot Spot was lock and made secure and you need the
credentials to log in.
