This documentation is for members of the Bryn Mawr College community to connect their computers to approved wireless access points across campus (ie Guild, Canaday, Park, etc).

Setting up additional Wireless Access Points is considered "extending the network", which is a violation of the Networking Policy and can result in loss of network privileges.

To connect to the wireless network using Windows XP, you need to setup your wireless card, and configure it to the correct settings.

Installing Your Wireless Card Insert the wireless card into a PCMCIA slot on the side of your computer.
	(1 & 2) Windows XP will automatically find and install the driver for your wireless card. It will tell you when it is done, and the card is ready to use.
	(3) Right-click on the Wireless Network Connection icon in the taskbar, near the clock. (If you are not sure which icon it is, move your mouse over each icon, and the name will appear above it.) Click on View Available Wireless Networks.
	(4) The Wireless Network Connection window shows a list of Available wireless networks, depending on where you are on campus, you may see more than one. Click on BrynMawrWireless, and check the box that says “Allow me to connect to the selected wireless network, even though it is not secure.” Click Connect.
	(5) Once the connection is made, XP will show you what network you are connected to, at what speed, and what the Signal Strength is.
