For some reason the wifi at my school isnt working, we have to wifi connections ones is free public wifi and the other WPA encrypted. Obviouly I am trying to join the public one but for some reason or a another i keep getting an error that says unable to join network "Free Public Wifi" and when I look at the setting for that connection only the ip address and subnet mask are being found. Any thought on how i could fix this or possibly a way to crack the WPA key.

The one that says "free public wifi" is actually just a windows laptop that has wifi set up in adhoc.... its actually a dangerous thing because once a windows lappy connects to the adhoc connection, it too starts broadcasting the free public wifi connection too....
