Now that we've had a week or so of wireless questions under our
collective belts, I thought I'd post some of the most common
problems/solutions/issues:

1. Security settings - users should set it for UNSECURE connections.

They should also disable (uncheck) WEP security settings.

2. They should set their wireless NIC to INFRASTRUCTURE (XP) or ACCESS
POINT (windows 2000 & 98), rather than Ad Hoc or Peer to Peer.

Under Network Properties, the setting should also be to obtain IP adresses/DNS automatically.

3. The SSID is: ubalt-guest

4. Available ports:
80, 443
web, secure web
POP3, IMAP, SMTP, FTP, AOL IM

5. If a user gets a message that they've been 'blacklisted,' it means that they have tried to log in (unsuccessfully) 3 times. They need to wait at least 60 seconds before trying again.

6. When asked to log in, they need to use their network login, not their MyUB or email login.
