I could use some help debugging this connection.
It's called "Free Public WiFi", and came up as an ad hoc network. I connected easily, and apparently data is going back and forth. But when I run the browser it gives "Server not found" for any web address. So it looks like I'm not getting DNS.
Is there a setting I need to tweak for ad hoc networks? Is there any other info I can gather that would help?

I don't believe you can access the internet while connected Ad hoc. You have to be connected to an actual wireless access point. I don't know, I guess I could be wrong...?

I believe when it says "link-local IP address" it means that there is no internet connection, just a local LAN.
