will need to connect via the wireless network.

    • It is best to have your laptop up-to-date with respect to service packs, patches, and virus checking databases.
    • It would be good to run a virus scan of your laptop the day before you come, with a current version of your virus

checking database.

    • All NSF network traffic is subject to inspection by NSF network administrators and surveillance software.
