Wireless hotel network Q

#1 Post by christie1111 » Mon May 19, 2008 3:43 pm

I am so helpless at this.

I probably will have to ask everytime I go to a hotel.

So I can connect throught the landline.

But when I try to connect wirlessly this thing called Entrust tries to have me authenticated and I get stuck.

Help for the helpless please?

I can't help you, I am more clueless than you are.

did you get an access code when you checked in?
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Yup and I could only get to that site by being wired. Which meant I could get here at least. But whenI try to check my email the VPN-1 Secure Client thingie wont connect. It says I am authenticated, but it....

Shoot, it just connected now.

No, I don't know what I did differently, but it seems all better now.

Thanks anywho!

Sometimes if you reboot, it fixes everything.

By the way, just to be a paranoid buzzkiller, hotel/internet cafes are very high priority targets for identity and personal information thieves.



So you got that goin' for you............................
