You have logged on successfully to the Live-WiFi network.

Tips:
Make sure you have a firewall and updated antivirus software when accessing a public WiFi hotspot.
If you are able to connect to the network but not the Internet, make sure your username and password has been entered correctly.
If you are unable to connect to the network, please ensure your laptop is set to automatically get its IP address from the router.
If you can't find the wireless network icon, ensure Airport is enabled. To check this, go to System Preferences then Network.
