CONFERENCE SERVICES

Internet Access/Wireless Network
USENIX is pleased to offer free Internet connectivity at LISA '04. Attendees with laptops may connect via an unsecured 802.11b wireless network or via Ethernet in the laptop room (Trinidad). If you have a laptop but do not have a wireless card, you may borrow a PCMCIA card from the registration desk. The wireless network has the SSID "usenix". The conference LAN provides NAT'd IPs via DHCP in the range 131.106.56.0/21. Static assignments are available upon request. Those without laptops may use one of the computers in the terminal room (Madrid). Please direct questions to Tony Del Porto at the registration desk or to wireless@usenix.org.

The wired and wireless networks provided by USENIX at this conference are for the use of conference attendees only, subject to the following conditions:

  • USENIX may monitor these networks.
  • Any illicit or intrusive use of the network, including packet sniffing, is expressly forbidden.
  • The wireless network is open and insecure. USENIX strongly recommends that all users encrypt their transmissions. Users are solely responsible for the security of their passwords and data.
If you have any questions or concerns about the use of these networks, please contact any USENIX staff or Board member immediately.
