Millikin University has wireless network access several places throughout campus. These include:

The numbers in front of the location names refer to the building numbers on the Millikin Campus Map.

To connect to the Millikin wireless network, you must be running either Windows XP SP2 on a PC, or Mac OS X 10.3 or above on a Macintosh computer. Additionally, you must have a wireless network card or built-in wireless network connection that supports WPA (WiFi Protected Access). Most laptops sold today will have WPA capability, and most Mac OS X computer will support WPA as well. Also, most add-in wireless cards available today will support WPA.

If you are running Windows XP SP2 on a PC, you can either use the vendor-supplied wireless configuration utility (i.e., Intel ProSet for Intel Centrino-based laptops, Secure Easy Setup for Linksys wireless cards, etc), or you can use the Windows configuration utility (also known as the Wireless Zero Configuration Utility).
