So here's a way around it: plug your computer your ethernet jack, log into CCA, find your MAC address - write it down (start->run->cmd->ipconfig /all). Plug your wireless router into your ethernet jack, open your wiresless router configuration, clone the MAC address of the router to your computer MAC address you found before. Now it should work, for the next 12 hours at least. Repeat every 12 hours as necessary. When I quit resnet we were testing other wireless options. I think a wireless basestation (minus the routing part) will work with the current network, plugged straight into your ethernet port. They are also considering developing a wireless system in all the residence halls in the near future, and I did the wireless site survey for this setup. If they implement wireless as they have planned, I would imagine it will be troublesome - they don't seem to want to setup as many wireless access points as needed according to my findings during the site survey. Hope some of this helps. If you have any questions, post back or PM for more assistance.

Wow, good reply for you Erik!
