HI all, I have a question that I've been trying to research and hoped that someone here would be able to answer it.

I recent purchased a new Macbook Pro which I will be taking back to school with me. Last semester I was using a windows based laptop and in order to connect to the schools wireless network (aside from it being auto detected) I had to set the preferred network to "SDEL_wireless" and then log in when the page loaded.

The schools CIS support page says they do not specifically support the mac operating system and I was wondering if it is also possible to do this on mac?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, Mac os X can connect to the latest Wi-Fi networks. There would be no reason that your computer could not connect to it. Wi-Fi is very standardised now, and the Mac os can connect to all standards (WPA, WPA2 Personal) , something that most PC's cannot do. So, the answer is yes, there is no reason that your computer could not connect to that network.
