Perhaps you could reply to the list that if anyone has any questions
about using it (and it is now in many places on campus, not just the
library), they should contact the IT helpdesk in the library.

Hi, they do have Mac OS X software, and it has been working for
months just fine with my ibook. Can't see why anyone would have
problems as they seem to cater for Macs and PCs equally.
To access the wider internet, they have VPN software available for download.
You need your Murdoch student no. and computer access password for
both the local and wider access.

Has anyone on the list used their iBook or PowerBook to check out
the Murdoch University Library's wireless access network?
I've downloaded the instructions which are very PC-based:
http://www.murdoch.edu.au/studentit/wireless.html
The gist of it all is set out in the following quote:
"The default settings [after using the Windoze XP CD provided by
the library] should automatically connect you to the network, if
not, enter the following configurations.
SSID:
MuWLAN
Wireless Mode:
Infrastructure
Channel:
6 (South Street) or 11 (Rockingham)
Power Mode:
Continuous Access Mode"
For iBook AirportExtreme user would this mean just going to the
AirportExtreme icon in the menu bar, choosing 'Other ... ', and
then typing in 'MuWLAN' in 'Network Name' panel with nothing in the
'Password' panel and then starting up Safari and getting access to
the following Murdoch sites as per the instructions page?
Murdoch University Home Page http://www.murdoch.edu.au
Library Home Page http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au
Library Catalogue http://wwwopac.murdoch.edu.au
ITS Commuications http://wwwcoms.murdoch.edu.au
IT Services http://www.its.murdoch.edu.au
The library is open tomorrow so I thought I'd drag the new 12"
iBook up there and have a bit of a play ... as a Wi-Fi neophyte.
Any advice from Uber-Users would, however, be appreciated.
