Re: [NTLK] WaveLAN Setup Questions

I haven't been able to. I think you need the SSID.

Check with the campus IT group to find out what the SSID is or if you have a
friend who has a WiFi connection, you can look at it to see it as well.

Huh,

I have never seen the newton connect to a network (even an open one) with
the SSID left blank? Can anyone confirm this tidbit for me?
