Several students thought this may be helpful, so here are the steps you need to take in order to access the wireless network at school. If you a Mac, I am not positive this will work, but give it a try and if you are still having problems then go see Jim Epting.

1. Go to Control panel
   -click on Network and Internet Connections
   -then click on Network Connections
   -then left click on wireless connection
   -and go to Properties
2. After clicking on Properties
   -click on the tab at the top that says "Wireless Network"
   -then click on the button that says "Add"
3. After clicking on "Add"
   -where it says "Network name, SSID" type in: 5Tud3nT (this is case sensitive)
   -where it says "Data encryption", make sure it is on Disabled
   -next, click ok to get out of the window for "Add"
   -then, click ok again to get out of the window for "Properties"
4. Go online and type in www.sc.edu
   -in a few seconds it should redirect you to a site where you will type in your username and password
   -if you don't remember your username and password from VIP, then you will need to go to the computer lab, get online, and go to the VIP site
   -once logged into VIP, go to Technology, and then Network/Username
   -it will tell you your username and you can update your password
5. After typing in your username and password on www.sc.edu a new page should come up
   -click on the link to download "Cisco Clean Access agent"
   -download it to your desktop and then install it
   -you will then be prompted and asked if you want to install the newer version, click ok
6. After installing the newer version a box will come up asking for your username and password
   -type in the same username and password as you used before (from VIP) and click log in
7. Get back online
   -it should go directly to a site where you can download 2 different programs
   -click on the link to download "VPN Client for Windows"
   -download it to your desktop and then install it
   -when it asks for your username and password, use the same as before
   -after installing, it will prompt you to restart your computer, click ok
8. Once your computer restarts, an icon will appear on your desktop labeled "USC Wireless Security"
   -double click on this icon and enter the same username and password as before
   -you should now be able to get online, if you have any problems check the suggestion below
   -if you still can't get online then ask a classmate or go see Jim Epting on the second floor of the library
