    Hello.
    I have a Lenovo T-61, got it a couple weeks ago.
    It works great, and has no problem connecting to wireless networks in my house or hotspots, and does fine with ethernet connections as well.
    Where I work, however, I can pick up the wireless signal as excellent,
    But It will stay in the status "identifying" for a while and eventually move to "unidentified" and I can't connect to the internet. I've tried 2 different passwords as well as working with our tech support. It's a local access only connection and it's a secure network. any Ideas?

    fn/f5 will pull up your wireless on the computer. In my t42 it is. Try and reset it there. Then try and reset the router.

    Who's managing the network at work? You may need a Static IP Address from them.
