Yes, Windows XP and Vista computers that are owned or operated by a contractor on behalf of or for the United States Government, or are integrated into a Federal system are subject to FDCC. 12. FDCC settings prohibit wireless connection. Are there any conditions under which wireless is allowed? Airport? Hotel? We have implemented wireless within our enterprise. Do I really need to disable wireless? What if I am using a third-party wireless client? FDCC wireless setting specifies that all wireless interfaces should be disabled. HHS rejected this setting and NIH desktops and laptops are allowed to run wireless as long as they follow NIH wireless policies. More information is available at http://irm.cit.nih.gov/security/sec_policy.html and http://cit.nih.gov/ProductsAndServices/Networking/WirelessLANServices/.
