(WiFi) compliant interface should
work, but they don't all have good
signal reception.
The wireless networking
installed for RNC is in accordance
with LBNL policy
on wireless and
is an open network with no encryption
and no access controls, and is maintained
by LBLnet. Computers connecting
to it should use DHCP (dynamic IP
address, "choose IP address automatically",
...) for the IP address and nameservers
(DNS). The wireless network is logically
outside of the wired LBLnet (lbl.gov)
and is in the lbnl.us domain. As
such, computers on the wireless network
have the same access to LBNL web
pages and business applications as
any other computer on the outside
Internet, meaning some things are
restricted and not accessible from
the wireless network. Employees and
guests needing access to internal
LBNL resources not generally accessible
to the Internet need to use the wired
network.
