Connecting -- WUFI-S Windows XP (Intel PROSet Wireless)

Update your Drivers and Management Software!

Before you configure your wireless, make sure you install the latest version of the drivers and management software for your Intel wireless adapter. If you have an Intel 2200BG, 2915ABG, or 3945ABG network card you can download the latest software at Intel's web site. (Download link for v10.5.2 for Windows)

The wireless network is a campus network and is outside the Olin firewall. If you need to print or map drives to Olin servers, you must connect using the VPN Client. (Link to Download and Instructions)
Instructions are also available for setting up your laptop print to Olin printers. (Link to Instructions)
