If you're a W&L faculty member, staff or student, use any available Internet connection, on-campus or off-campus, and use a Web browser to access this page:

http://wireless.wlu.edu

Follow the steps, entering your W&L username and password when prompted. After you complete this step, you'll connect to W&L's wireless network automatically whenever you're in range.

If you're not a member of the W&L community, find the wireless network named "wlu," connect, and open a Web browser. Enter your e-mail address, or, if you're a sponsored guest and have been provided with credentials for temporary access to W&L's wireless network, enter the user name and password that was provided to you.

Please note that wireless is a limited resource, and minor disruptions are common; see Statement on Wireless Service at W&L

Applies To: Faculty, Staff, Students

Various restrictions apply to the guest wireless network, including limited speed, and restricted access to some web sites, including Facebook. W&L faculty, staff and students can get the best quality connection by registering for W&L's secure wireless network. To do that, point your browser on your wireless device to http://wireless.wlu.edu and follow the directions.

One of the reasons may be a printer setting.  Open up the selected printer to see if the PRINT TO FILE box has become checked on the selected printer.  If it has uncheck that setting.

The map of wireless network coverage is located here.

The wireless network for W&L faculty, staff and students uses a technology called 802.1x, which provides security by encrypting all network traffic.

Some older computers do not support this technology. However, most modern, up-to-date wireless devices will run on the secure wireless network:

• Windows computers with security features enabled, including auto-updates, firewall and up-to-date operating system
• Macintosh computers with security features enabled, include firewall and up-to-date operating system
• Apple iPad and iPod Touch
• Most Smart Phones with wireless capability, including iPhone, Blackberry, and Android-type phones

Game devices such as the Xbox 360 and Wii and other special-purpose network devices such as the Roku do not function on the secure wireless network. For such devices, use a wired connection, or register them for use on the wireless network.

Please note that wireless is a limited resource, and that minor disruptions are common; see Statement on Wireless Service at W&L

Whenever possible, use the tool at http://wireless.wlu.edu  to configure your device for use on W&L's wireless network.

You may need to manually configure some devices. The settings are:

• SSIDD: WLUsec
• Wireless Encryption: WPA2 Enterprise
• Authentication Protocol: MS-CHAPv2/PEAP
• Outside tunnel authentication: This should be left blank
• Inside tunnel authentication: WLU Username and Password
• Security certificate verification: Equifax Secure Certificate Authority

802.1x is a network protocol that provides an authentication mechanism to devices connecting to a wired or wireless network. Washington and Lee employs 802.1x on its wireless network, "WLUsec." An additional level of security is provided by encrypting all traffic on the wireless network.

Devices must be configured in order to function properly on an 802.1x network; at W&L, wireless devices may be configured by connecting to the Web page at http://wireless.wlu.edu and following the steps as prompted.

The WLU wireless network allows users to access the network for a short period with authenticated access, or a long period with secure access. If you are just visiting campus for a day you should attach to the "wlu" wireless networks. If you are going to be using our wireless network frequently you will want to register for the secure wireless network. Registering on the secure network allows you to remain attached to the network without having to reauthenticate, and it encyrpts your network traffic so it is secure. To register on the Secure network go to Http://wireless.wlu.edu .

If you are not formally associated with WLU you can access the network as a guest by attaching to the "wlu" network. This network has some restrictions.

Most laptop computers require you to turn on the external monitor output in order to send the computer image to the projector.
  
Follow these steps for WINDOWS based laptops:
-Be sure you have a proper cable connected from your laptop's external monitor port directly to the projector or to the classroom podium connectors.
-Press and hold the Fn key on your keyboard (usually located in the lower left).
-Press the specific key for your laptop (F1-F12) that controls your external monitor port.  The key is usually indicated by an external monitor icon or the words "CRT/LCD".  For example, on a Dell laptop the proper keystroke combination is Fn+F8. Other brands may use Fn+F5, Fn+F7 or another combination.  Check your owner's manual if you are unsure.
-Repeat the keystroke combination if the laptop does not project after the first attempt.

ForMAC laptops:
-An adaptor cable is usually necessary to connect a MAC laptop to one of the classroom systems or directly to a projector. There are several different styles that are model dependent.  This cable normally comes with your laptop.  See your owner's manual for more details.
-Hook the adaptor cable directly to the projector or to the classroom podium connectors.
-It is best to turn on your MAC laptop after making the proper cable connections.  The laptop will see the external monitor and set itself up to send an image to it.

Yes. To publish a personal homepage, follow the follwing steps:

1. In your H: drive, create a new folder named "public_html"
2. Open the properties of the public_html folder
3. Open the Security tab
4. Select the "WWW" user entry
5. Toggle on the "Read/Execute" rights for the WWW user and save
6. Send an email to Jeff Knudson jknudson@wlu.edu requesting that your site be registered with the web servers

Mac users will need to access a Windows computer image at MyVI to complete this proceedure.

Your hompage URL will be in the format: http://home.wlu.edu/~username w

here "username" is your user name.

This site supports only static HTML documents.

First turn your computer off, unplug it from the power source and take out the battery.

Second, lay the computer on a paper towel in a manner in which the liquid will drain out.

Third, take out as many components as you can (keyboard, harddrive, Dvd/CD and memory usually) and towel these parts off and leave everything to dry for 24 to 48 hours.

Forth, Check your warranty. Your computer will probably only be covered by the warranty if it has accidential coverage.  If you do not have a copy of your warranty at hand you can call your computers manufacturer.  They will be able to look up the warrenty information using your computers service tag.

If you have killed the motherboard of your computer with liquid, the hard drive is usually still okay. Take it to the Information Desk to see if any data can be retrieved.

If you right click on the files that do not work and look at the Security tab under Properties, the read permissions for the WWW user are missing.  This is the account that the web servers use to read the data.  Missing rights is usually caused by moving files between folders of differing security settings.  Within a volume, the file server does not recalculate rights on a move.  These files may have been dragged from elsewhere in the H: drive, and therefore did not receive the read permissions required.  The easiest way to prevent this is to use copy/paste instead of drag or move, since rights are always re-calculated when a file is created. 

To fix the existing files: 

1.       right click on the public_html folder

2.       select properties

3.       select security

4.       select advanced

5.       check the box “Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects”

6.       select OK

7.       select OK

This will force all the rights in the public_html folder to be recalculated.

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised.
