Help with Wireless Internet

Having trouble connecting to the Library's wireless network? PC users can get help by following these steps:

Click on the Start button.
Click on Help and Support.
Type "wireless" into the search box.
Click on Connect to an available wireless network (XP) or View and connect to available wireless networks (Vista).

Open your web browser. A greeting screen appears (in place of your home page) asking you to abide by the Library's Internet Public Use Policy & Guidelines. Click on "I Agree" and you can begin using wireless Internet.

If you are unable to reach the "I Agree" page, disconnect from the wireless network (HCL_public) in the Wireless Network Connection Manager. This will refresh the IP address to allow you to connect again.
