Actually, I now remember that although you can get to the AP without password, it is sometime impossible to get an IP address is everyone is connected in the local DHCP scope. IOW: if every IP address from the DHCP is allocated, it will remain reserved until its lease is over without being renewed.
A year or two ago, someone was mentioning that they had heard about a problem algonquin had had in that their wi-fi was "visible" to traffic driving by the campus, and DHCP took care of assigning IP addresses to the cell phones in every passing car trying to get to the queensway from Barrhaven.
Hopefully they have a work around for that by now. -- Charles MacDonald Stittsville Ontario cmacd [ at ] zeusprune [ dot ] ca Just Beyond the Fringe No Microsoft Products were used in sending this e-mail.
