Why does a “bluesocket – Click to Logout” window now appear when I connect to the wireless network?
This window is a feature of the new device that shows that you have successfully connected to the wireless network, and it allows you to log out of the wireless network. You may know that an IP address is required to connect to the Internet. Logging out releases your IP address to other campus users. If you log out by closing your browser instead of clicking on this window, your IP address takes up to an hour to become available to other users. Logging out makes an IP address immediately available, and this helps the campus manage the limited IP address resource. Read more about the scarcity of IP Addresses in the Departmental IP Address Range Allocation Guidelines.
