[OSX-Users] Re: OS X Mountain Lion (Gold Master) released

[Neil White]

Jules,

I can't seem to get access to the software server from my new Mac Air. I
can only get a signal for ECSWlan (not Eduroam from my office!!!), so I'm
guessing that this is the issue? I have tried to vpn but that doesn't
work. Any ideas?

Neil
