This wireless network uses the most common standards, does not require special configuration and has been tested. Wireless technology, however, can vary among hardware and software. So if you are having problems, please check your product documentation. Here are some general tips:

• Devices that use the 802.11a standard will not work with this wireless network.
  
• If you’re using a wireless card in a laptop or handheld, confirm that it’s inserted properly.
  
• If your laptop has built-in wireless with a separate power switch, confirm that it’s on.
  
• Confirm that your wireless network connection is enabled.
  
• Confirm that DHCP is enabled for your wireless network connection.
  
• If you are getting a “page cannot be displayed” message in your web browser, click “refresh” or try another website.
  
• This wireless network only allows web browsing and email. Telnet, FTP, online games and other forms of network activity are not allowed.
  
• In the configuration for your wireless connection, you may have to select for your computer to connect to an “insecure” network (see note below).
  

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS – IMPORTANT!
Please be aware that the security of your computer and personal information cannot be guaranteed if you connect to this wireless network. In an effort to make access as available as possible, extra measures (such as WEP encryption) are not implemented. Although almost any wireless network communication is insecure, you can take steps to improve your own security by taking these steps:

• Use a firewall: A firewall can keep your computer protected from other computers. Windows XP has a built-in firewall that can be enabled, or firewall software can be purchased and installed.
  
• Conduct secure online transactions: When shopping or conducting other online transactions, make sure that each session is using SSL encryption, which is indicated by “https” in the address line (instead of “http”) and by the lock icon displayed in the lower right corner of the web browser window.
