Public hot-spot not providing IP when connecting

I am trying to access the internet by connecting to a public "xfinitywifi" hot-spot. I can connect, but it doesn't give me an IP address. I have tried 2 different computers and my phone. (My phone gets as far as "Obtaining IP address..." and then it disconnects.) I have 3-4 bar signal strength.

Here's the the relevant information from my laptop:

Screenshots of Network and Sharing Center, Wireless Network Connection Status, and Network Connection Details windows.

ipconfig:

If there is any more information that would be helpful let me know. Thanks for any help.
