I just received word from DeVry today that this will no longer be true. We will be setting up a wireless access point ourselves, with a 4 port switch on it. This access point is supposed to be able to connect tot he web freely. There is some work required on DeVry's side of things, but I'll be there a little early (6:30ish) to take care of this.
BUT, this is unproven at this time. So, take it with a little doubt mixed in.. :) Shawn On Wednesday 01 June 2005 13:17, Jarrod Major wrote: > If you are bringing a laptop with a wireless card you will have to send > your MAC to one of the Executive who will then forward it on to the DeVry > IT people.
