How to connect to the net in Germany from my laptop?
A couple of years ago I went to Berlin, DE to visit my mom. She has wireless internet in her home and her laptop connects just fine. I have a Toshiba Portege that I purchased for the US and when I took it with me to Berlin, I could not connect to the net. I tried other hot spots and my moms office, and it just would not pick up a signal or register any IP addresses. Is there a trick involved here? I am planning on traveling again and need to know how to enable my laptop to connect to the net outside of the US. Any suggestions? Shouldn't I just enable the WiFi switch and be able to see available networks and connect to them thereafter? What would cause my computer to not register the IP address and not pick up a signal?

No trick. There should be SOME wifi signals in the range of channels 1 to 11 (Europe allows channels 1-13, but your laptop will only use 1-11). If you don't see any wifi signals, either it's a conspiracy and everyone is using channel 12 or 13, or you're doing something wrong
