Hi In many cases having Wireless connection and not being able to connect involved security issue. Make sure that the Wireless is opened (unsecure) when you are trying to connect to free hot spots. Otherwise if it is one specific "Hotspot" that you use to connect to it might be that the opposite occurred. I.e it was secured so that uninvited people can not connect any more.
