We have made some changes to the network and access points. The reports that we are hearing is that the network has improved. We are always interested in your field reports.
Some of the field reports that we are getting are regarding rogue access points. One such access point is "SnowNet". Please check your machine for this network and kindly disable your AP. We are still getting reports of people getting pulled over to machines running the IETF58 SSID in ad-hoc mode. Please make sure you are not running in AD-HOC mode. To use the IETF wireless network exclusively on Windows XP, please choose the "Access Point (infrastructure) networks only" option, which is available by clicking on "Wireless Properties", then selecting the "Wireless Networks" tab and then clicking on "Advanced". (K. Almeroth) If you do detect machines in AD-HOC mode or machines that are rooted and being bad net citizens, please provide us with with as much information as you can (Including MAC Address), and we may look into take some kind of corrective action. Special thanks to our kind NetOps volunteers K. O'Donoghue and C. Elliott for the tremendous effort they put forward to tune the wireless. If you see them in the hallways and byways, please be sure to thank them. Also, the all Volunteer NetOps crew is wearing Green Dots on their name tag. If you see any of them, please be sure to thank them for coming to the IETF and volunteering their services to provide this meeting with a network. --Brett
