Hi there,

You were assigned a manual fixed ip address on your laptop,to resolve this issue,set your ip to automatic ,its done by:  

-right click on the network icon on task bar and select 'network and sharing center,
-then on right pane select manage network connection,
-right click on wireless network connection>properties.
-now select tcp/ip 4/6 and press on properties ans select automatic ip.

Turn on your wireless and connect to available network,openrun by pressing start+r and type cmd and press on ok.Type the following command:

-ipconfig /release
-ipconfig /flushdns
-ipconfig /renew and wait for new ip address.If still having issues Open internet explorer and go to tools and  press on diagnose connection problems.

Thanks
