Hi all!
I've recently started taking classes again at our university where we
supposedly have wireless access. I've followed the directions they
have posted which I will paste below to see if anybody can tell me if
they make sense or if something is missing.
When I power up the computer I get several networks that are already
present and the airport seems to be working fine but I can't get the
thing to work when I try to set up the network they tell me about.
Below are their directions and if anybody has any advice, please let
me know.
Jim
