Introducing Bluegrass Orthopaedics Cyber Café!
Now you can use the Internet in Bluegrass Orthopaedics—and it is free.
Bluegrass Orthopaedics has installed a wireless network and anyone can connect to the Internet using their own notebook computers with a special type of wireless receiver.
In order to use this resource, you will need a laptop or hand-held computer with a wireless network adaptor. A, B and G wireless standards are all supported. Local computer retailers and office supply stores stock a large variety of these cards. If you are considering purchasing a new handheld or notebook computer, be sure to inquire about selecting a model that has built-in 802.11b hardware.
Once your wireless card has been installed, you will need to configure your computer to obtain our network information automatically (using a technique called DHCP) and inform your computer of our wireless network name (SSID).
The SSID for Bluegrass Orthopaedics locations is BGOCafe.
If your computer is not currently configured for DHCP, you may make the changes as outlined:
Configuring Wireless Networking for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
- Click start -> connect to -> wireless network connection.
- Click “refresh network list” on the left hand column.
- Click “BGOCafe” once, then click connect.
Configuring Wireless Networking for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1
- Click start -> connect to -> wireless network connection.
- Click properties. Click on the wireless networks tab.
- Check the box “use windows to configure my wireless network connection.”
- Click “refresh” in the Available Networks box.
- Click “BGOCafe” once, then click “ok.”
Instructions for PowerBooks and iBooks with built—in AirPort cards
In the AirPort Control Strip at the bottom of the screen click and scroll up to "BGOCafe" If you do not have your Control Strip turned on, you can select "AirPort" from the Apple Menu and select "BGOCafe" next to "Choose network:." At this point you should see one or more of the AirPort signal indicators. If you are seeing one or no indicators lit, move to another location within the library.
Open your TCP/IP Control Panel (Apple Menu > Control Panels > TCP/IP). Select "AirPort" next to "Connect via:." Also, "Configure:" should be set to "Using DHCP Server."
