The wireless network at the Nittany Lion Inn should be wide open or otherwise self-explanatory. However, if you're in a different building for a sprint or other activity, you'll be using a separate network: Penn State's campus network. To use this one, you need a special client application. Here's how to get it:

1. Connect to the wireless network "pennstate".
2. Go to https://www.work.psu.edu/access/vpn/.  (make sure you use 'www'!)
   
3. Download the correct version of the Cisco VPN software.
4. Install it. (On a Mac, just run the installer package.)
5. Launch the VPN client. ''Make this more specific.'' (On a Mac, it's at /Applications/VPNClient.)
6. Double-click "ITS Wireless at University Park".
7. Enter your username and password when prompted.

Optional: select Connection Entries -> Set as Default Connection Entry.

Known issue

In an overzealous attempt at security, the VPN client prevents local routing. So, for instance, if you have virtual machines arranged in a private network on your laptop, you will be unable to access them via that network. You'll have to close the VPN connection to access them.
