If you are not automatically redirected, you can bookmark a direct link to the BlueSocket page: http://131.229.65.198. Use your Novell username and password to log in.

Wireless connections in residence houses and in several other Smith building are monitored by Cisco Clean Access, which also requires you to log in using your Novell username and password.

2. If Wi-Fi is off, you will need to turn it on.
   
   
3. Wait a moment as iPhone detects networks in range, then choose a network.
   
   
4. If you are connecting to a Smith wireless network, open Safari.
   
   
5. When you see the "The certificate for this website is invalid. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?," tap Continue.
   
   
6. Log in to BlueSocket or Clean Access using your Novell username and password.

iCal

Once you've setup your GroupWise email, you can import your GroupWise appointments into iCal.

You cannot add appointments to GroupWise from your iPhone using Calendar. However, you can import existing GroupWise appointments into iCal and sync your iPhone calendar with iCal on your Mac. With this setup, the calendar on your iPhone and on your Mac will be the same as long as you sync them.

Sync your iPhone with iCal

*If you have trouble syncing your calendar, check that all of your events have an end date and a title and that none of your titles include foreign characters. This will prevent your calendar from syncing properly.
