SP Conference – quick tips on connectivity

I ran into a few odd issues accessing MySPC and I helped a few different folks with some connectivity issues this morning while checking my email on break so I thought I’d post a few quick tips and then tweet about it in case others are hitting the same problems.

Connecting to the network

You can find this on the conference site, but users still seem confused. In short, you should connect to the MSFTINET network with the bars, not the connected PCs.

 

Accessing MySPC

I ran into an issue where MySPC wasn’t showing up on the main site and there wasn’t an option to sign-in/sign-out. After a few minutes I realized I was signed in to the browser session with another Live ID (that I didn’t use to sign-up for the conference). I went to https://www.windows.live.com and signed out. Then I went back to https://www.mssharepointconference.com and a link to Sign-in with my Live ID showed up on the page.

I signed-in using the right Live ID and I was good to go. The MySPC was showing up as expected.

Support

If you are having issues head to the support desk over by registration. They’ll be able to help you out much quicker than I can.

 

Hope this helps!
