A: Prior to login, wireless hot spots were entirely open -- to the university community and the general public alike -- posing security and virus risks and taking up your bandwidth, too.

A: No. Non-degree students do not have access to Wireless. (Alumni, use your "Alumni Email" username and password.)

A: All locations support both 11 and 54 megabytes per second (Mbps), based on the IEEE 802.11b and g wireless standard, and many locacations also support the 802.11a standard at 54 Mbps.

A: You will stay connected as you go from one access point directly into the range of another. However, if your connection is lost, it will resume when you re-enter a campus wireless hotspot.

A: Based on on campus tests, all browsers in all operating systems work. Tested browsers include Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Safari. If you use a Mac, Firefox and Opera seem slightly smoother. When using Internet Explorer on a Mac, the security certificate appears to install okay, but you are prompted for it at every login regardless. In Netscape and Safari on a Mac, you get an error message that the "certificate is not valid", but it actually installs and works fine.

A: Are you running special Internet Security software on your laptop? If so, turn it off using the icon in your system tray (lower-right corner of desktop). Try that. This seems to be a common solution, especially with Norton's Internet Security, which prevents the login.

A: Clear the cache and history in your Web browser and try again. If that doesn't work, try this: First, go to System Preferences > Network. Select "Airport". Click on the TCP/IP tab. Then "Renew DHCP".

A:
Are you running iTunes with "music sharing" turned on? If so, turn it off. A network scanner sees frequent bursts of data traffic caused by a service such as iTunes music sharing as a potential virus threat and quarantines you temporarily. You will continue to be quarantined temporarily you stop the data "broadcast".

A: Macs use a Web browser and login through the newschoolnet Web login page - every time.
Back to top
A: Other Operating Systems, including Linux, Unix and Palm OS, gain access through the browser, like a Mac.
Back to top
A: No. There are no checks for operating systems other than Windows. The Windows OS is most susceptible to Viruses, Spyware, and other risks.
Back to top
A: Newschoolnet checks for a current release of Symantec, McAfee, Trend-Micro, or AVG AntiVirus software and current virus definitions. Your computer will be quarantined until it meets the minimum security standards.
Back to top
A: Not at this time.
