The Law School requires specific wireless card capabilities and employs a configuration that goes beyond what you may have used elsewhere. For more details see the For more details see the various Connecting chapters from the Student Computing Guide.

Please reference the following for Windows based set up- http://it.bridgew.edu/telecomm/perfigo/wirelessxp.cfm or the following for Mac OSX set up- http://resnet.bridgew.edu/macwireless.html Either helpdesk can also assist you with setting up the wireless network by visiting them with your notebook during normal operating hours. For the Macintosh, the best operating system to install is always the most currently available. "Tiger," version 10.

With version 1.3 (or later) of its software, Apple?s Airport Base Station supports the PPPoE protocol used by most ADSL services. It does not, however, support the special login process used by BigPond Broadband Cable. This means each computer will need to run their own software client (either Launchpad or BPA Login Mac).

Most wireless-ready computers will automatically create an insecure connection to the Wesleyan wireless network with no special configuration. However, you may wish to enable WEP to enhance security.

All network devices need to be registered in the Stanford network database (NetDB) before they are allowed to connect to SUNet. Even if you have already registered your laptop's wired Ethernet connection, you must register your wireless connection separately. You will need to provide the MAC address of the wireless card (printed on a sticker on the bottom of the card, or the bottom of your laptop if you have built-in wireless), and the Host name of your Mac or PC.

You can buy a wireless network card online from BT. Or visit your nearest PC World or computer store.

A wireless network card is a small hardware device that allows your computer to connected to wireless networks. (Some cards plug into an external slot on the computer; others are internal, housed inside the the computer itself.) Many newer laptops and handheld computers are sold with internal wireless network cards included; consult your computer's manual or contact your computer dealer's customer support for information.

b/g cards are available from several vendors, and currently cost between $40 and $150. Major electronics and office-supply stores like Best Buy, Staples, Circuit City, and Wal-Mart frequently carry wireless cards. Faculty and Staff will need a Cisco Aironet card purchased from the Division of Information Technology if they wish to join Buffalo Roaming with Faculty/Staff access. The price will be $120 and must be paid via Interdepartmental requisition.

Most home electronics and computer stores stock 802.11b and 802.11g wireless cards. Pricing usually varies from $50 to $200.

Wireless setup instructions will help you configure your wireless card for use in the Law School wireless network environment.

If you can see just the first three lines (or none of them) the driver was not properly loaded and there is no communication between card and driver. Install wireless-tools - in a Debian machine just type "apt-get install wireless-tools" (without the quotes).

Wireless Mobile Network is a Wi-Fi 802.11b network; therefore, any Wi-Fi certified wireless network card would work. Look for the Wi-Fi certification on the wireless network card before purchasing it.

Limit the number of DHCP addresses to the number of wireless access points that you will be using. Optionally, set static IP addresses, set to non-standard network blocks. Consider using VPN, SSL, Firewalls, RADIUS, Kerberos or other access control, or end-to-end encryption. Most of these can be integrated into your 802.11b appliance.

A firewall will help protect a computer on a wireless network, but will not restrict access to the network itself. You should configure your wireless network to use a network key using either Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or wired equivalent privacy (WEP). For more information, see How to keep others from hijacking your home wireless network or consult the manual for your wireless networking devices.

The campus wireless network can handle hundreds of users logged in at any one time, but the more active users, the slower the network becomes. On average, one access point can handle approximately 30 users without a noticeable degradation in performance.

NOTE: When you use the ipconfig /all command, a detailed configuration report is produced for all your network interfaces. The UTB TSC wireless network, Libertad, is also available for The Village at Fort Brown dormitory rooms. Residents wanting to have access to the wireless network must use the on-line registration page. The existing wireless network at Fort Brown currently covers all the dormitory rooms.

The network or wireless PC Card provided with the Air2Data kit is called a PCMCIA Card or PC Card. Almost all laptops have one or more PC Card slots. Some laptop manufacturers place a plastic cover over these slots. Often you must remove the plastic cover by using the adjacent eject button or latch. We have provided a picture of a few different styles under our Troubleshooting Guide below.

No. Accounts must be in good standing in order to access the network. Overdue materials and outstanding fees and fines can effect the status of your account.

Yes, if it conforms to the IEEE 802.11b and/or IEEE 802.11g standard, and operates correctly with the protocols used at Monash. Refer to WiFi Alliance Certified Products for a list of Wireless Cards that are WiFi certified.

Yes. If it conforms to the IEEE 802.11b standard, and operates correctly with the protocols used with SeneNET. A list of brands which conform to the standards and should work with the security protocols can be found at WiFi Alliance Certified Products.

Any wireless card that uses IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g should work with our wireless network. Network Services recommends the use of the following laptop wireless cards for staff and faculty (all of which may be purchased from the Biola University Computer Store): Cisco Aironet 350-series Wireless LAN Client Adapter (for Mac OS or Windows), Apple AirPort or AirPort Extreme cards for Apple PowerBooks (with internal slots), Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN (802.11b/g) mini-PCI card for Dell laptops.

The system supports both Dynamic and Static IP addressing on your network. The system is a DHCP server and will automatically assign an IP address to a network device upon request. However, you can manually configure a static IP address for any device on your network. The first 32 addresses (.1 - .32) in the address range are allocated to static IP addresses. The next 218 addresses (.33 - .250) are allocated to the system’s DHCP server to deliver to dynamic clients.

Students wishing to know how to connect to Boston College computing resources from off-campus should read the BC Help Desk document ' Connecting to BC using a modem to dial in '.

Each room is equipped with a network jack. You'll need an ethernet network card and a ethernet cable for you computer. Once physically connected you need to configure your computer to use DHCP. Additionally portions of the campus are setup to offer wireless access via 802.11 b/g for which you will need an appropriate wireless card.

See the Instructional, Communication & Information Technology Wireless information Web page. This page has a link to information about what you need to do to connect to wireless access, as well as links to other information about the campus wireless access project.

If your card uses the orinoco_cs, then edit the file /etc/pcmcia/wireless, setting the environment variable ESSID to the network name. If ESSID is unset, the card will automatically bind itself to the strongest access point. If your card uses the prism2_cs, then edit the file /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts, setting the environment variable DesiredSSID to the network name.

More and more intruders are tapping into unprotected wireless Internet connections. And anti-virus software protects a single computer, but not your entire network. Network Magic helps keep your wireless network and data safe by detecting when an intruder attempts to log on to your network and alerting you. Once detected, you can allow the computer on your network (for example, a visiting friend), or kick it off.
