Trouble Getting Internet in Coffee Houses

In US I have Verizon WWAN but I'm out of the country and I'm having trouble
seeing the Internet sometimes when I try to connect with the wireless with
no security. Generally a re-boot fixes the problem.

Vista Business 32 SP1
Intel 4965 AGN Driver 12.0.0.82 07/08/2008 Most up-to-date

ipconfig/renew does not work as it says the wireless adapter isn't
connected.

Should I disable the IP6? Are there other things I can do since I don't
have control over the router's firmware?

I looked at this, but it seems to work only if you own the router:

I also looked at this. Can I set up a static IP address even if it is a
public router? Also, should I just set it to a static DNS? TIA

I meant to add that since a re-boot fixes the problem, what can I do in
order to reset the adapter as if I had done a re-boot? What is the re-boot
doing that I can manually do? TIA

ipconf /release
ipconf /renew

These commands should make the wireless reset the connection to a
router. If you are already disconnected then you don't need # 1.

That or just "repair" the network connection.

Hi
If the power saving of the Wireless card is checked to save, Uncheck it.
I.e. get the network components out of the Power saving loop.

It is set to maximum performance.
I lost the connection momentarily just now. I tried ipconfig/renew and this
is what I got:

No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its
media disconnected.
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : siemens

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.138

When it reconnected by itself this is the ipconfig/all for the wireless
adapter:

Do you know what is going on and how I can fix this? TIA
