Network access for guests
Many institutions participate in the eduroam world-wide wireless roaming service (check availability for your institution). Then configure your wireless according to your institutes requirements for eduroam using the "eduram" wireless local network. Also refer to wireless access.
If wireless network access is not possible or otherwise undesireable, wired access via the usual network wall plugs is available.
wired network access for notebooks
Please supply the MAC-Address of your notebook (wired network adapter) when asking for wired network access at mailto:helpdesk@itp.uni-leipzig.de.

This will give access to the university intranet, outside of the institute network. Therefore you may not be able to directly print over the network.

Creating a local Proxy with SSH
SSH can be used to create a network proxy, that web browsers can use for network access. For Firefox there are addons (e.g. FoxyProxy) to switch a proxy configuration on/off without hassle. To create such a proxy issue
ssh -D8080 <host>.physik.uni-leipzig.de
and configure it using the parameters:
| Proxy | localhost |
| Port | 8080 |
| Type | SOCKS5 |
