    if you're are lazy, bring it to the laptop clinic in henry grattan building.

    No Sarunas thats not nearly lazy enough!

    Just bring it to L125 in the computer building and ask anyone on the right.

    Ok, well the coputer should connect automatically to either laplan 2.0 (most of campus) or "school of computing"

    In order to look at anything outside of dcu's stuff though you'll need to enter a proxy.

    In Firefox go to tools>>options>>general and click "connection settings"

    In the space for "automatic proxy configuration file" enter: http://proxy.dcu.ie.pac

    Now your laptop should work all over campus.

    If it every gives you trouble when on laplan 2.0 however, you'll need to enter the proxy settings manually.

    Enter: proxy.dcu.ie
    port: 8080

    Enjoy :P
