Default FDX Wireless Question

I blew out a hard drive on my laptop and am setting it back up to the wireless network in Mem. If I try to install Avalanche it now says I need to download the Enterprise Desktop and Server Management software. I don't remember having to do this before...anyone know if this is required for personal computers?
Thx.

Default Computer woes

Yes, you need to get all of the software added onto your computer if you want to get on the company wireless (at least I had to). Follow the instructions on pilot.fedex.com. If you are at the AOC, you can plug right into one of the stations to download the software. It will take a very long time so make sure you start the process when you have a couple of hours to devote to the process.

Default Buy a Mac!

Don't need to load any software - Just plug in the network info and go!

I see people using sites outside the fedex.com domain at Mempho and Indy. How? All I can get is intranet stuff and P.F.C. Other pages just don't load.

Thanks.

Our crack team of computer geeks has worked hard to avoid any security leaks--aka "The Democrat Firewall". You can never be too secure.

Now about that practice bid...

lol.... ya gotta wonder how many variables they had to program into this particular solve... all we gotta do is fly in typhoon's into Subic... probably be easier than trying to figure out all this excess/vacancy/ secondary(none)/passover/new domicile/ND stuff that they are adding into this practice bid....

Didn't the system just post a practice bid a few weeks ago... what's up with that? different computer? democrat firewall of death?

My bet is the computer locked up when it started tabulating how much savings the ND's create by working their tails off at half pay.

I have a similar problem on my Mac ... well, sort of. When using Netscape Navigator I can only access the p.f.c. site. When using Safari, I can get the entire Internet. I can't log onto AOL at all?

In as much as Safari has total Internet access, I would guess that the proxy server settings are correct? Any smart Mac guys out there with a good guess as to the problem? Thanks

Do you have to download avalanche at the AOC? And if so, do you plug directly into a high speed port?

When I try to download it from the Technology/Wireless Access information page on the Flight Ops website it is a dead link.
