Re: [PLUG] [plug-announce] July 5, 2006: "InfiniBand"


There are several 'open' wireless routers/bridges in the third/second floor of the building (I know of 6 at least...). Depending on your location in Hall C your reception of these signals will be better/ worse. However, all these wireless networks are 'private' efforts. There's no campus-wide wireless reaching Griffith Hall yet...

is good in Hall C?

They've had access points in the building for number of years now, however you need a fairly good antenna to use the signal from Hall C. mini-PCI cards with the antenna sandwiched between the bottom of the laptop and the surface the laptop is resting on typically won't cut it, while laptops with a dipole antenna embedded in the sides of the LCD display should have a fighting chance.
