Walkabout Wireless Setup Guides

For instructions on how to configure your computer for the Walkabout Wireless Network choose your Operating System from the list below:

Windows Vista | Windows XP | MacIntosh OSX

Should you experience any problems while following the above steps, check the Support web page for further assistance.

Vista Users

Microsoft Windows Vista is currently not a supported product, but the Wireless network has been upgraded to allow students with Vista pre-installed on laptops to connect.

Linux Users

Due to the number of different linux configurations we do not have any published guides for Linux.

PDA Users

Due to the number and inherent limitation of the PDA operating systems we do not support connecting PDA's to the Walkabout Wireless network. It may be that your PDA can connect but we shall not be providing any support for that device.
