Wireless Network Access for College-owned Houses
All College-owned houses, with the exception of five (5) houses on College Drive, will have full high-speed wireless access to the Lynchburg College network. This means that students living in College-owned houses will no longer need to use either dial-up access or Adelphia cable for network access.
Students living in the college houses will need a wireless network card for either their desktop or laptop computer. Many of the newer laptops have wireless network capabilities already so you might want to check your laptop first. Wireless network cards for desktops and older laptops range in cost from $50 - $100. The wireless network card you purchase should support the 802.11b or 802.11g (or both) wireless standard.
Note that network registration will be required for all computers connecting to the College network in residence halls, college houses, wireless access areas, and public areas with network access. This is done to ensure network security and to prevent the spread of viruses, Trojan horses, and spy ware on the College network.
