Limited connection whenever I connect to a Wi-Fi network outside the company

1

Whenever I connect my work laptop to a wireless network outside of my company, the connection shows as Limited, and there is no internet access.

I have tried several times by disabling/enabling the network adapter, restarting the computer... without success. Sometimes, after a while, without taking any action, it shows fine, and I have internet access. But can pass 2 hours before this happens.

My computer is under a domain network, but I don't think that's the problem, because I can successfuly connect other computers belonging to same domain to other networks.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro and my network adapter is the following:

Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

Any idea of which is the problem and how to solve it?

I'm guessing your company has locked down the name server setting to prevent this, and restrict how you can access the internet while on the company net. – Daniel R Hicks – 2013-06-29T12:20:35.740

@DanielRHicks but this only happens with my computer, not with others. Additionaly, we don't have any restrictions to access the internet. – anderZubi – 2013-06-30T09:55:22.240

Check your name server settings. – Daniel R Hicks – 2013-06-30T11:53:05.933
