Airport Extreme/PowerBook G4/School Network Question

freaky

OSXer
I have a 15" PowerBook G4 and just bought an Airport Extreme card. My college has a wireless network and I was wondering if I need to do anything (besides plug the card into the laptop) to connect to the network. If so, what would I have to do?
 
If your school uses standard DHCP, there's not much configuring to do. Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make sure the Airport Card is set up properly for DHCP.

When in doubt, there's usually a ton of tech types hanging around the computer labs in colleges. The ones at the university I go to are wonderful -- sometimes they'll look at you funny when you mention you use a Macintosh, but simply asking them for the setup information usually works.
