If you need help configuring your computer or troubleshooting
wireless network issues, please contact the Information Systems Help
Desk, either by phone at (425) 352-5239, by e-mail at help@uwb.edu, or in person at UW1-080.
Basic Steps for Configuration
When using Mac OS X, your Airport card should readily discover the
wireless network nearest to you. Check to make sure you are connecting
to the UWB-CCC network.
- Position your laptop where wireless is available, which is
currently all of the floors of the UW Bothell library buildings (LB1,
LB2, and LBA).
- Start your laptop.
- At the top right hand corner of your desk top, you should see the wireless icon.
- Click on it, and verify that there is a check next to UWB-CCC.
Test your connection
- Open either Internet Explorer or Mozilla.
- Type in www.uwb.edu in the address field.
- You now have access to any UW or Cascadia resources available to you, including e-mail and file servers.
