WaveLAN in the library.

WolfForager

Evenin folks, myself and my friend both seem to be having this problem.

In the library i can connect to the WaveLAN network with my laptop but i can't connect to the internet. It's the only place on campus that this seems to happen. Is there some sort of procedure to get the wireless working in the library? I thought that only applied to wired connections.

Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have a solution?

Cheers.

Yep happens me regularly no idea why though!

Aye, most annoying part is that the people around me all seem to be having no problems, happily planting their crops on Facebook!

Mine seems to have trouble in the hub but the library is fine

If you're using firefox, you may want to put the proxy settings manually as opposed to setting it to detect them automatically.

The Agogo

If you're using Internet Explorer go to: Tools>Internet Options then a box comes up. Click the 'Connections folder' and when there open up 'LAN settings'. From there, untick the box that says 'automatically detect settings' and click the box that says 'Manual settings'

you'll have to enter in the UCD code then, which is: http://proxy.ucd.ie/proxy.pac

It's the same thing for Firefox.

Other tips: you may need to close IE/FF then reopen it.

But Sometimes: the library is full of users with higher speed connections, which effectively 'drown out' your sh1ttier slower speed connection, like my laptop

Library = full then Internet = not working

The Agogo, proxy is already set, i've tried restarting the laptop, turning off windows firewall and Avast network shield, so i'm assuming it must be the fact that the library's full.
