=Configure a laptop for GISD wireless=

First you will need to dock your laptop in it's docking station or find a regular desktop computer that no one is using. On the desktop you'll need to disconnect the network cable from the back of the computer and plug it into your laptop. The network cable will usually be blue but might also be black, grey or some other color. It will look like a phone cable only larger.

Next turn on the computer and login. Since you are now on the network you should be able to login without problems. Call the Help Desk at x5005 and tell them you need the **AutoSSID** and **Hosts file replace** software packages to configure this laptop for wireless. When they have assigned those packages, find the Application Explorer icon on your desktop and use the right mouse button to click it. You'll see a list of options, left click **Refresh**.

Wait about a minute for the application explorer to update, then double click the Application Explorer icon. When the window opens, double click the [All] icon.

In the next window that opens look for the **AutoSSID** package first and double click that. You may see a popup showing it's loading, but you may not because it's a very quick install. If you don't see any errors after a minute, find the **Host file replace** package and double click it. Again, if you don't get an error within a minute, you can assume it's installed.

Shut down the computer and undock it or disconnect it from the network. Turn it back on and try to login via wireless again. If you still can not login, call the Help Desk at x5005 to further troubleshoot.
