wireless networking

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi. I have a very basic question. I bought my spouse a notebook with
wireless built in, and replaced my home router with a linksys wireless
router. It works fine. My spouse is a teacher at a school that has a
wireless network. I added the name of her school network and she can
connect to the server at school and use the internet. However, we don't know
how to access the school intranet. The other teachers use powerbooks, and
click on a "connect to server" box and get an intranet page. How do we get to
the intranet page?

HI. She has XP Pro. I asked her for the url of the intranet, but apparently
the other teachers don't now what it is because on their Powerbooks they
click on "Connect to Server." The IS person at the school told her that he
doesn't know how to connect a PC. I suspect that if I can find out the URL
she can get on. Do you have any idea how I can find the URL on a Powerbook?
I don't know anything about MAC computers but I would assume that there is a
menu choice to view an address bar.
