Wireless Networks

You need to set up your computer to use DHCP in order to be able to connect to the LSE wired or wireless network on campus and in LSE Residences. Chances are the default configuration of Windows XP/Vista/7 will just work, but if your computer has previously been configured differently then you may need to re-configure it.

An easy test will be to open a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and go to lse.ac.uk|

For information on how to configure your computer, see Configure your computer for DHCP (Windows and Mac OS X)|.
