accessing the college x and y drive on your laptop.

RoyalMarine

hi there, if anyone is using the college internet with their laptop and want to access their personal x-drive or the public y drive, there was a generic e-mail sent around by the tech department.
however, if you cant follow the guide and need some help, send me a pm and ill meet up with you and we can sort it out.

free of charge of course!

im living in ballyraine apartment's so im very local.

thanks!

Is this just for Ballyraine or anywhere? Would be a very handy thing to be able to do

Cant seem to access my email at the moment for some reason..

RoyalMarine

at the moment it looks like the lyit network is offline, as we cant access the internet from ballyraine.

harps, i think lyit pipe their internet to ashlawn too, but im not 100% on that, so at the moment it seems to be only ballyraine.

anyone know how to connect a ipod touch/ipone yet to the wifi????

Mullalliban

Basic instructions for getting ipod touch or iPhone onto LYIT Wi-Fi:

When you access the Wi-Fi Settings, you will see the LYIT-Student option appear. Ignore it. It does not have the correct security settings for accessing the network.
Instead there should be a tab underneath called "Other..."

When you access this option, you need to enter the SSID of the network (LYIT-Student), it is case sensitive, and set the security to "WPA Enterprise".

2 new fields appear that allow you to enter your username and password, those being your L000 number and your account password, same as setting up the laptop.

After that the ipod connects and there is full access to the internet. I haven't encountered any problams at all.

Question not related to topic but wondering does anyone know how to stop iPhone viewing the lyit website in mobile version. When I first got my phone it worked fine and I was able to view the full site and get my email now I just get the news page on mobile view it is annoying.

Didn't realise this was possible at all! must check it out. Easter break now though.

Handy to get online with my ipod touch..
