That is that I am connected (whether through WiFi or ethernet cable) to a university network which claims after the upgrade that the laptop is no longer registered. I went through the registration process again through the browser (and was told: why are you registering this machine again, it is registered, simply restart the network/reboot) but the problem does not go away. I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email). > > What are they using to identify the computer? I don't know the answer to this question. But in general, this setup is, I think, fairly common in universities. Every machine is given an IP address (I think) if and only if it is registered (either as a guest, or as an employee/student). > What is happening with the networking that isn't working? No DHCP response, > no network traffic, etc. I am able to connect to WiFi (or ethernet). I get "Open Network Login page" and am then taken to the page which is what is used to register the machine. I register (or try to) as above, but this problem does not go away upon restarting the network (or rebooting the computer). Sorry I am not sure I am answering the question here. Please let me know what I can do to find the answers to your questions.
