Another route to try is, when you see the pop up, do the following:
1) Open a command prompt (should be an option in the Start menu. If not, select "Run..." and type "cmd")
2) At the prompt, enter "ipconfig /release". You should see some info scroll by, a few lines that end with "0.0.0.0"
3) Once you have the prompt again, enter "ipconfig /renew" You'll see the same info scroll again, this time with actual number (e.g. '192.168.2.56" and "255.255.255.0") instead of 0's.
Close the command prompt by typing "exit"
That might do some good.
ETA: and shame on you for having unsecured wirless access. Go find manuals for setting up access to secure networks for all the devices you connect (it all should be available online if you don't have them at your fingertips) and secure your network!
