Have you followed these steps and your wireless card sees the university's wireless network but you cannot get the "UOnet Authentication" page to load? Most of the time this problem is caused by spyware that is running on your computer. Pick up a free Windows Security CD from our Help Desk. This CD will install and run Spybot, an spyware detection and removal program.
