college wireless internet

[mossy]

i am in my universities library using the wireless internet network and a popup keeps coming up saying i need to download a policy key to use the university internet. last quarter i was able to use the WIFi network without a download or anything, just log in with student ID and password. it wont tell me specifically what is in the download so i think its some sort of tracking software to keep tabs on what students are doing with their personal computers. i keep ignoring the pop up and it has not kicked me off the network yet. do any of you guys in school know what the download is?

interesting, it only redirects me to the policy key page when i try to access sights about video games or calguns........blackboard no problem, Gmail no problem, school web sight no problem, calguns = redirect, IGN=redirect, another university websight no problem, Atlantic firearms= redirect.

It checks to make sure you have a current anti-virus program installed.

Clone someone's MAC that is already on.
Don't... this can cause more problems for both of you...

Computer fraud/unauthorized laws make spoofing a bad idea. Some wifi (Cisco) can narrow down where you physically are rather precisely.

I already said that...
Cloning other MAC's isn't illegal AFAIK, but the access would be the issue... Hell, Xirus devices do it to disassociate rouge-AP's I think.
