How to access the drive while on wi-fi

We have just made a change to the configuration of the Wi-Fi access points in the Boston office that will allow our staff to connect to the internal networks when they are off the wired network.

  1. On a PC, go to the Wi-Fi tool bar at bottom left of your screen
    On a MAC, go to the top right of the screen
    wifi-local-networks-1
    wifi-local-networks-2
  2. Employees should connect to the METROCORP access point – use the main Boston Magazine phone number [6172629700] as the password. You will be able to access the servers at 192.168.2.18 (BOS-NAS8)
  3. Visitors, guest, contactors, etc. should connect to the _Public access point which will first require them to enter the password  bosmag2015 then they will be presented them with a splash screen (like you see in a hotel or Starbucks) and require them to check a box acknowledging that they are allowed to browse the Internet.  Public users will only get internet access, but will not be able to access our Internal Servers.
