Hotspots Configuration

1. Check your 802.11 card

   Make sure you have your 802.11 wireless card securely plugged in, with the drivers and software installed properly

2. Configure your Network Card

   Run the wireless network card's configuration utility. You should only need to enter the SSID. All Sonic.net Hotspots access points use the SSID "Sonic.net" for ease of use.

3. Configure your Network

   Configure your wireless network card's TCP/IP protocol to connect via DHCP (IP address automatically obtained). You may need to reboot for these settings to take effect.

4. Open a VPN Tunnel

   Using a VPN client such as the Cisco VPN client (VPN Client Download), create a connection to our VPN Concentrator. These packages are pre-configured to connect.

5. Log In

   Once you've opened your VPN tunnel, you will be prompted for your Sonic.net login name and password.

6. Surf!

   You're all set. Load up your internet applications (web, mail, etc.) and surf away to your heart's content.
