How can I get connected to the UC Davis Wireless Network while using Windows Firewall (for Windows XP)?
To obtain a connection to the UC Davis Wireless Network, your computer must support the ICMP Echo (ping) function. The Windows Firewall installed by Windows XP Service Pack 2 may not respond to such incoming ping requests, even if you had previously enabled ping in ICF (Internet Connection Firewall). If you wish to connect to the UC Davis Wireless Network while using Windows Firewall, you must enable ping. Instructions for enabling ping for Windows Firewall are here.
