Temporary Registration

Users of unregistered computers will need to open a web browser and visit any URL to bring up the DHCP registration form. The form asks for some basic contact information and should take only about a minute to fill out. Please put Hadron Collider Physics as your affiliation when you register. The registration process is described at: http://computing.fnal.gov/security/registration_dhcp.html. This temporary registration process must be done once per day. The temporary registration period has been extended to the duration of the summer school so permanent registration is not needed.

Wireless Network

Wireless (802.11b) network connectivity is possible in most of Wilson Hall and in the Village Users Center. Your computer will need to obtain an IP address via the Laboratory's DHCP service. Please be aware, however, of the restrictions for obtaining IP addresses via DHCP. Although all computers must be registered in order to use the Fermilab network, visitors to the Lab may obtain temporary network access. This temporary registration expires at midnight each day. To access the temporary registration form, simply start your web browser and request any web address. Fill in the required identification information. Please put Hadron Collider Physics as your affiliation when you register. Your computer will then be scanned briefly for vulnerabilities, and an IP address assigned. Please turn OFF any peer to peer software you have - for music downloads etc. If this software is on you will get blocked and won't be able to access the internet. You will either need to reboot your computer, or restart your computer's networking, in order to use the assigned IP address.

If your wireless driver does not successfully connect to the Fermilab 802.11b network, try the following configuration settings:

• SSID, also known as "Network Name", "Service Area", "ESSID", "WLAN Service Name":
• Try leaving it blank for auto-detect
• Try the keywords "ANY" or "any" for auto-detect
• Use the keywork "tsunami" (not "TSUNAMI")
• Use the keyword "tsunami" (not "TSUNAMI")
• Network type: Use "Infrastructure Mode" (not "Ad-hoc")
• Preamble mode: Long Tx preamble
• Tx mode: 11 MB ("Automatic" will work on some cards, else hardcode to 11 Mb)
• DHCP: Enabled
• WEP / Encryption: Disabled
• WEP Key: WEP is disabled
• Radio Channel: Leave blank or set to "auto"
