Q. How can I use wireless Internet at the Library?
A. Most users can simply bring their wireless enabled laptop computer or other mobile device to the Library Plaza and turn it on. There is no password. The computer will automatically recognize the wireless network. The Library cannot guarantee your equipment will work with the Library’s network. Please note that use of personal laptops inside the library is not permitted at this time. Visits are limited to 30 minutes and services are limited.
Q. Will I need any special settings or passwords to connect?
A. In many instances wireless devices will automatically detect the Library’s wireless network and configure themselves to use the system. If you device does not connect right away please try the following: make sure your wireless network adapter has been properly installed according to the manufacturers instructions; use the management software that came with your wireless device to confirm that your configuration settings match the values shown below.
NETWORK NAME or (SSID): any
NETWORK MODE: Infrastructure
WEP: Disabled IP or NETWORK SETTINGS: DHCP enabled or obtain an IP address automatically
DNS: Obtain DNS address automatically
If you are using Windows XP SP2 you must disconnect your firewall.
Q. Can the library help me configure my computer?
A. Everyone’s computer is different and you are responsible for knowing how to configure your own equipment. The Library cannot be responsible for any changes you make to your computer’s settings. If you need additional assistance, you may need to contact the hardware or software manufacturer.
Q. Is my information safe while using wireless?
A. Your information is not protected while using wireless, unless you are connected to a web page that employs encryption (stores, banks, etc). Keep this in mind if you are accessing sensitive business or personal information. We recommend you use up to date virus software, a personal firewall and turn off file and printer sharing. These steps are the responsibility of the user.
