Solve : Connected, No network Access?

1.	Solve : Connected, No network Access?
Answer» I have tried ipconfig /release, renew, and flushdns. Winsock and netsh as well. DHCP is connected. IPV4 settings are set to automatic.The external network adapter works. I am able to connect to another wifi, but not the one I want. It says connected, no network access. When I use the troubleshooter, it says the wifi doesn't have a valid wifi configuration. I am not about to change anything on any kind of router/modem as the wifi is provided through a third party. This is the message I get when I try to do ipconfig /release and renew: "No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection *2 while it has its media disconnected" I don't know what that is really, but the Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi which is right below it is what I'm using. When I switch wifis, the IPV4 seems to be correct on the one I can use, 192.168... On the one not working for me, it says 169.254.... That is labeled next to autoconfig IPV4 address while the one working is just IPV4. The default gateway is also blank on the messed up one while the good one has 192.168... as well as having "DHCP Server" I went to check on the IPV4 and the bad one is autoconfig with no settings, while the good one has the 192.168... and whatnot. I use a external wifi adapter. It is awake and I have done any troubleshooting on it that I could think of. I do not use VPNs or proxies. I disabled the firewall with a command and restarted. Still nothing. I have done a network reset via the built in option in win10, did not work. I tried safe mode with networking, but all that happened was a BLACK screen with the asus logo. Any help is appreciated, thank you.Connected to other wireless networks WITHOUT a problem. Connecting to a 3rd party network and you have issues. The issue is with the 3rd party network. If you dont have access to working on that 3rd party network then you will need to contact whoever owns that 3rd party network and see if they have it configured in a manner to not allow your connection to it. Your connectivity issue reminds me of a person once needing to get onto a 3rd party wifi that showed that it wasnt secured and it appeared open. They complained that they can connect to the wifi but wasnt able to get out to the internet. In the end they were trying to get around a paid for internet service at an airport where it shows up as unsecured but you needed to go through a browser connection to authenticate and pay for internet use time.
