Can wifi shield connect to local network without internet? I have an Arduino Uno and a Texas Instruments CC3000 WiFi shield. I need to connect the Arduino to a local network which has no Internet access so that it can send information to a computer also connected to the same local network. I am using a Linksys WRT120N for the local network. 

I can't use the Internet access WiFi because it is WPA2 Enterprise which is why I created the local network. Currently the computer is connected to the local network via WiFi. 

I have downloaded and installed the correct library but when I run the connection test, it searches for Internet access which doesn't exist and sends back errors. 

How do I verify that it is connecting to the local network? 

Btw, I have almost no experience coding an Arduino but I have access to people who are proficient; However, they have no experience with a WiFi shield.
If you have created your own local network, you may need a DHCP server to give it an IP address, or you will have to configure your Arduino with a static ip. I can't think of a reason why it would need internet access, but it is not uncommon for devices to refer (incorrectly) to connectivity issues on the local network as "internet" issues.
