Wireless Internet is now available at the club again. It is now much easier to connect - you don't need to enter a username / password or reconfigure your proxy settings. The network is still secure and the connection settings will be changed periodically. If you have any connectivity problems see Mary for the latest "password".

Many thanks to Luke Rudd (Rescue Captain) and Alex (kite surfer) for donating PCs. The weather station and webcam are now operational again - and the spare PC should ensure that we can avoid any prolonged service outages in the future. Andy

The problem was that the cooling fan on the processor seized - and whilst the PC has been automatically shutting down when it overheated - the net result seems to be that the PC is fried (I added a new fan yesterday but it took 6 attempts to boot and then it only worked for 20 min before crashing). I will re-instate the old Windows 98 machine sometime this week but the webcam and wifi internet access facilities will not be available until a new PC is obtained. Anyone have a Windows XP capable PC that they no longer need? Andy
