The advanced troubleshooting guide (found on our wireless page at http://www.nelson.usf.edu/systems/wireless.html ) has been amended to also cover the contingency of someone who has had a static IP address configured on their laptop. It used to be that very few people were running wireless in their homes, so this issue was rare. Now that there is widespread wireless use in the home, students may need to alter their default settings in order to use our wireless network, and then put the IP information back so that their laptop will work when they return home.
Step 4 in the guide outlines this process, so that if they cannot reach our wireless network and their IP address is static they can alter it temporarily to use our network.
