<p>I was hoping it would be wireless everywhere, including inside the dorm rooms, :(</p>

<p>Eh, wired is faster anyhow. I was only hoping for wireless everywhere else (like, surf while sitting under a tree or something).</p>

<p>Isn't the whole main campus wireless?</p>

<p>I didn't think so. Got a link?</p>

<p>Nope the entire campus is not wireless. There are certain access points.</p>

<p>The 'Room Phone' field doesn't have enough space for the amount of characters needed to put a phone number in it...</p>

<p>you're only supposed to type the last 4 digits of the phone number, but it's moot because (as it says on the front page of the irc site) "Please do not attempt to register before you arrive on campus." haha i tried too tho :)</p>

<p>do you HAVE to sign up on that website before you have net in your room?</p>

<p>You cant just show up on sunday and plugin?</p>

<p>Danny, what will happen is you have to go to this IRC setup date during Welcome Week. You will be without Internet access until that date (it sucks completely, but there isn't much you can do about it). You can't use the computer lab until that date, either (since you set up the account at that time), so overall you don't have many options to get Internet access (unless you go to a computer lab or WiFi cafe like Yali's on Oxford).</p>

<p>when during welcome week do we set this up</p>

<p>nbanyk, it depends on when you are scheduled to get it done. IIRC, it is scheduled by groups of rooms, and it can be from Monday to Friday. Just hope you're one of the earlier times.</p>

<p>nbanyk: see my Cal Connect thread for the schedule.</p>

<p>can you use airbears before your cal connect workshop?</p>
