PAWS FAQ: Using NT 4.0 on the PAWS network

    Install your wireless network card.

    **IMPORTANT: You should have a copy of a Windows Workstation or Server CD handy before starting these steps.
    The first step is installing the network adapter in your machine. If the computer comes pre-installed with an wireless card you need to make sure the card is set up properly for the PAWS network. Most network cards come with Windows NT drivers and installation instructions. If your computer is new and you are just installing NT for the first time, many cards will be detected during the install. When the network card has been installed you should see it in the Adapters portion of your Network control panel. This can be accessed from the desktop by clicking Start->Settings->Control Panel and double clicking the Network icon in the box that pops up. The Network control panel should pop up and the adapter should be under the Adapters tab when you click it.

    Install TCP/IP

    From the Network control panel select the Protocols tab. Select "Add" a protocol. Select TCP/IP protocol and Add. It should ask you if you want to use DHCP

    Say yes. Make sure that TCPIP is the only protocol installed. If other protocols are installed remove them now by single clicking them and then clicking Remove. You will have to reboot.

    Set up your wireless card

    Some wireless cards require additional client software (drivers). We can not provide this software, or help you install it. However, you should be able to find the software and instructions on how to install it and use it on your vendor's web site.

     Set the case-sensitive service set identifier (SSID) for your RF network to "UGA".

    Log on to the PAWS network
