1. Submission of Computer/ Host Name

In order for you to connect to the Richmond wireless network we need to (as a prerequisite) make a note of laptops unique Computer/Host Name.

Depending on your Operating System follow the steps listed below.

Please note: If you are running the Windows XP Home Operating system, you wont have a Computer/Host Name at all, thus this won't apply to you.

When entering the Computer/Host Name please be as exact as possible, changing your Computer/Host Name after registration will automatically unregister you and you will have to reapply for the service.
