These instructions are for the Microsoft Wireless Client that is included in Windows Vista.

The following setup only has to be performed the first time you connect to the Hendrix Faculty / Staff Wireless Network.  You can only follow these instructions while on the Hendrix College campus (within range of the faculty / staff wireless network).

Items to check before you begin: 

• Ensure that you have a wireless network card, and if it has an antenna that it is in the proper position.
