How do I connect to wireless?
PCs/ MAC if properly configured and equipped for wireless will automatically detect the availability of wireless network and ask you if you wish to connect. You must have a valid Eckerd College Email name and passsword to access the wireless network. If you are a guest, see your contact at Eckerd College or ITS. Guests in the Armacost Library can receive temporary id and passwords at the reservation desk.

Start your web browser and login. It is the same "netreg" process as the one you used to register your PC in your dorm rooms. You will be required to register your PC to the wireless network once a semester. (The first time you login on to wireless)

Wireless, just like your cell phone, is insecure. Someone might be snooping in on you so be careful as to what you are doing over the wireless network.
