Applying For Wireless Network Access (For Windows users)

For Ateneo de Manila Employees

1. Determine your wireless LAN card's unique Media Access Control (MAC) Address, which is a twelve character string composed of the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F:

• Inspect the exterior of your wireless LAN card and look for markings that say something like "MAC Address", "Physical Address", or just plain "MAC".

• If no such markings are printed, plug in your wireless LAN card into your mobile computing device and switch on. For those devices with Windows OS:

  • Click on the Windows Start button on the lower left corner of the screen.
    The Start Menu will pop up. Select Run. The Run window will open.

  • Double-click on the input field next to Open: then type command and click on OK .

  • A Command Prompt window will open. Type ipconfig /all.

  • In the resulting output, look for the section with the description of your wireless LAN card and note the line that says "Physical Address". This is your card's MAC address.

• If the above procedure does not apply to your mobile computing device, please consult your operating system's manual.

2. From a web browser in an open access lab computer on campus, open the following web page: https://cng-db.ateneo.net/wireless/index.html

3. Enter the required information.
   NOTE: Only ateneo.edu email accounts will be accepted. If you do not have an account, you need to come in person (or send an authorized representative), with valid ID, to the CNG office at Faber Hall FH 311 to submit the required information and get your WEP key.

4. Upon successful registration, you will receive an email with instructions on how to confirm your registration and activate access for your registered wireless LAN card.
   NOTE: You need to confirm your registration within three days of receiving the instructions by email.

5. Configure your web browser:

   • Internet Explorer (v.5 and above)

   • Netscape (v.7 and above) and Mozilla (v.1 and above)

6. You will be able to access the wireless network only by using your registered wireless LAN card. If you replace your LAN card for some reason, please proceed to the CNG office at Faber Hall FH 311 and bring a valid ID and the MAC address of your new wireless LAN card.
