Answers to common wireless questions

Why can't I get to the login page?

If you have a proxy server setup in your web browser (or have it set to automatically detect the proxy), you may be unable to get to the login screen. It will appear to just hang. Disabling the proxy and restarting the web browser should take care of the problem.

Also, make sure your network card is set to get it's IP information from DHCP. That includes DNS servers.

Newer laptops sometimes include a button to turn off the wireless card to conserve battery life. Make sure the wireless card is activated.
