Additional Information
Please note that the login information used for connecting is
automatically
stored onto the Operating System. This means that if you
successfully connect
to the network, then every time you reboot your machine, Windows
Vista will
try to connect you to the secure network automatically with the
correct
information. You do not have to retype your login information in
order to gain
access.
NOTE: Since your login information is being stored on the local
drive, your
friends will be able to log onto the wireless network as you if
you loan them
your laptop. You will also need to change your password if the
laptop has been
stolen or lost to ensure security access on your account to the
secure
wireless network.
If you have problems authenticating on the Eduroam Wireless
Network, please
contact the ITS Help Desk 9056885550 x4357
