Add Wireless to SSD Teacher Laptop

Call the Tech Help Desk...give them the last name of the SSD teacher.
1)  Go the "my computer"
2)  Click on the Remote Tab and change this so the tech help desk can remotely access the computer (change this back when finished)
3) Click on START, run and type cmd.  Then type the command "ipconfig", the ip address will read 10.9.__._
4) The Tech Help Desk will control the computer and hook up wireless for the laptop.

NOTE-  Charter sometimes causes issues with the IP address and kicks off the PKwireless IP address when the teacher connects to wireless at home.  The can be remedied by going into network connections and disabling the home wireless.

Now click on the movie on your desktop and when it begins to play, w/o sound, choose Audio from the menu and and Disable.  (Seems illogical…right?)
