Bagels N Bits is an internet service provider which partners with public establishments to allow you to connect to the Internet with your own 802.11b wireless-enabled laptop, or regular 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet cable.
Requirements for the user are simple:
- a web browser
- a network interface card
- DHCP ( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol )
DHCP allows a computer to connect to a network without much configuration.
If your laptop is used to connect to another network, such as an employer's LAN ( Local Area Network ), then you should note the network settings before changing to DHCP. Most importantly, note the DNS/BIND or WINS Name Server IP addresses, and your static IP address (if any).
