Connecting to hotspots
Caution
Because hotspots
typically do not enable
any security measures,
the data that you are
sending and receiving
may be vulnerable.
Any of the files on your
notebook that are
marked for sharing
may be accessible to
other users on the
network.
Important
If you want to access
your company’s
network through a
hotspot, contact your
network administrator
for setup information.
You will probably be
routed through a VPN
connection for
maximum security.
A hotspot is a high-speed wireless Internet
access point available in public locations such as
airports, airline clubs, libraries, book shops, and
coffee houses.
While you are away from your home or office,
hotspots let you send and receive e-mail, surf
Web sites, or access your company’s network.
You usually need to sign up to get access
through hotspot connections. During the
sign-up process, the vendor will provide you
with the necessary connection information.
To access any new network, obtain information
about the network (such as the SSID, password
key, and security settings to use) and enter that
information.
