Plug in your computer to an aSNAP port, and launch a web browser like Internet Explorer, or Netscape and go to any site on the Internet. You will be asked to enter your GWMail username and password. After aSNAP has authenticated you, you will be able to use the Intenet. Depending on the browser you are using you will need to allow popups from the site *.nit.gwu.edu.

Unfortunately, you cannot print to the network printers using aSNAP. If you need to print, you have to use one of the workstations in the Academic Technologies computer labs
