Internet Connection
WIRELESS HIGH SPEED INTERNET ACCESS (HSIA) INSTRUCTIONS: If you have an external antenna, you have a wireless router in your room. 1. Turn on your computer. It may take a few minutes for your computer to detect the wireless network. 2. Connect to midatlanticbb.
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:
VPN Service: For any issues concerning VPN Service, please contact Help Desk Support at 866-435-7548. Press option 1 for Hospitality Service, and option 1 for Internet Service.
Wireless Internet Service: If your computer does not find your wireless service, go through the following steps: 1. Verify that your wireless card is on. Some laptops have switches that will turn wireless service on or off. Make sure it is on. Try to connect to midatlanticbb. 2. If you still can’t access the wireless network, please contact Help Desk Support at 866- 435-7548. Press option 1 for Hospitality Service, and option 1 for Internet Service.
If you have found a wireless connection, but you are unable to access the Internet, go through the following steps for your specific operating system:
Windows XP (by command line): • Open a command window. Go to Start, Run, and enter “cmd”. The Command Prompt should appear. • Type the commands: ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew • Type the command exit to close the command window. Windows Vista (by command line): • Open a command window. Enter “cmd” in the Search Box under the Vista Start menu and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to launch the tool with administrative privileges. Then say “I do” to the UAC prompt. • Type the commands: ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew Type the command exit to close the command window Apple Mac OS X (by command line): • Ensure that you know the password of an Administrator for the system. • Open a Terminal command window. • Type the commands: sudo ipconfig set en0 BOOTP sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP where en0 is the interface connecting to the cable modem. These commands are case- sensitive and must be typed as shown. When prompted, quote an Administrator's password. • Close the Terminal window.
IP Addresses: This service only supports the use of dynamically assigned IP Addresses. Your computer must be configured to obtain an IP Address automatically. When you connect to the cable network, your PC/Mac is automatically issued with a unique IP address by means of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The public IP address allocated by DHCP for the cable connection is called the WAN address. If your PC/Mac is connected directly to the cable modem, with no intervening routers, then its IP address will be the WAN address.
• Windows XP: Under Network Connections, highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click on Properties, then obtain an IP Address automatically and obtain a DNS server address automatically. • Windows Vista: When your computer cannot connect to a network and the DHCP client fails to reach the DHCP server, Windows Vista will not show the dynamic IP address but switch to Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) instead. This means that your IP address will be something like 169.254.a.b. If this is the case, you need to disable automatic addressing and restart your computer by doing the following: Click Start > Run. Type regedit and press OK. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters Right click this entry and select New Dword. Rename the new entry ArpRetryCount (leave it set to 0 by default). Restart the computer.
You can discover the (LAN) IP address of your PC/Mac as follows:
• Win9x/ME: click Start, Run, enter the command winipcfg. Use the pull-down item to select the network interface for the cable modem (rather than any PPP dial-up). Look for the line IP Address. • Windows (any version except Win95): Open a command prompt window, type the command ipconfig. Look for the output section related to the network interface for the cable modem. • Windows XP: Open a command window. Go to Start, Run, and enter “cmd”. The Command Prompt should appear. Type ipconfig. This should show the computer IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. • Windows Vista: Open a command window. Enter “cmd” in the Search Box under the Vista Start menu and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to launch the tool with administrative privileges. Then say “I do” to the UAC prompt. Type ipconfig. This should show the computer IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. • Apple Mac OS 8.x/9.x: Pull down the Apple menu, select Control Panels. Open the control panel TCP/IP. Look for the line IP address. • Apple Mac OS X: Any of the following: Pull down the Apple menu, select System Properties, click Network. In the pull-down Show: select the network interface in use. Click tab TCP/IP and look for the line IP Address.
o Open a Terminal window, type the command ipconfig en0 (where en0 is the interface in use) and look for the line inet. o Open a Terminal window, type the command ipconfig getifaddr en0 (where en0 is the interface in use).
In order to verify if the TCP/IP connection on the local machine is functioning within normal parameters, users can also ping their own computer with the following commands "ping 127.0.0.1" (IPv4 address) or "ping localhost." Any error message is an indication of the fact that the TCP/IP connection on the local machine is at fault.

Welcome to the tri-county area. There is so much to see in and around Dayton.
History:
Dunbar House - Born in 1872, Paul Laurence Dunbar, the son of two former slaves, was born in Dayton, Ohio.

The History of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Wright-Patterson's history as a military installation dates from World War I. Its aviation history, however, began in 1904-1905 when Wilbur and Orville Wright used an 84-acre plot of land, known as the Huffman Prairie Flying Field, for their experimental test flights. Here the Wright Brothers solved the final secrets of aerodynamics, learned to fly, and developed the first truly practical airplane-their 1905 Flyer. They returned to the Huffman Prairie Flying Field in 1910 to operate a pilot training school-The Wright Company School of Aviation-and a flight exhibition company. When their operations ended in 1916, aviation had become a reality and a rich tradition of invention, operations, and education had been established on this sacred soil. The Huffman Prairie Flying Field was officially designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990 and became part of the newly created Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park two years later.
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, three military installations were established in the Dayton area. Two of these would become part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The third was located near downtown Dayton. Their original missions-logistics, research and development, and military education-are the same missions that have been performed at Wright-Patterson to this day.
Wilbur Wright Field and the Fairfield Aviation General Supply Depot were adjacent installations located at what is today Area A of the base. Wilbur Wright Field was situated on a 2,075-acre tract of land adjacent to the Mad River that was leased to the Army by the Miami Conservancy District. The lease included the Huffman Prairie Flying Field. A Signal Corps Aviation School was established at the new airfield and began operations in June 1917 as a training school for pilots. The field also housed an aviation mechanic's school and a school for armorers.
The Fairfield Aviation General Supply Depot was constructed on forty acres of land purchased by the Army from the Miami Conservancy District. The land bordered Wilbur Wright Field. The depot provided logistics support to Wilbur Wright Field and three other Signal Corps aviation schools located in the Midwest. Each day the depot received, stored, and issued equipment and supplies to Signal Corps aviation schools in the region.
The third World War I military installation was McCook Field. This 254-acre complex located just north of downtown Dayton between Keowee Street and the Great Miami River. It was named for the Fighting McCook family of Civil War fame who once owned part of the land. McCook Field was the temporary home of the U.S. Army Signal Corps' Airplane Engineering Division. As an engineering and research facility, McCook Field has been described as "the single most influential agency in the early years of American air power." McCook's engineers and technicians researched, developed, manufactured, tested, and evaluated military aircraft and all of their associated components and equipment.
Cooperation between the two geographically separated flying fields began in 1918 when Wilbur Wright Field agreed to let McCook Field use hangar and shop space as well as its enlisted mechanics to assemble and maintain airplanes and engines. Wilbur Wright Field's expansive and relatively isolated open flying field also proved ideal for testing the Air Service's experimental aircraft and the larger, more powerful models developed during the 1920s.
Following World War I, the training school at Wilbur Wright Field was discontinued. Wilbur Wright Field and the depot soon merged to form the Fairfield Air Depot. The depot remained active until 1946.
McCook Field remained in operation until 1927. The field's limited size could not accommodate the larger, more sophisticated aircraft that quickly emerged after World War I. The warning-"This Field is Small, Use It All!"-was painted atop the airfield's hangars. When the Air Corps announced its intention to close McCook Field, local businessmen and citizens protested. The field offered a stable and expanding economic base for the community, and was also a great source of pride to the city that considered itself the birthplace of aviation. Under the leadership of the Patterson family (who had founded The National Cash Register Company), prominent citizens formed the Dayton Air Service Committee, Inc. This organization mounted a massive public campaign that raised $425,000 in two days. It used the money to purchase 4,520.47 acres of land northeast of Dayton, including Wilbur Wright Field and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field. In 1924, the Committee presented the deeds to President Calvin Coolidge for the construction of a new aviation engineering center. The entire acreage (including the Fairfield Air Depot) was designated Wright Field in honor of both Wright brothers.
Between 1925 and 1927, modern new facilities were built on the portion of Wright Field west of Huffman Dam to house all of the functions being relocated from old McCook Field. Orville Wright raised the flag over the new engineering center at the official dedication ceremony on October 12, 1927. The name "Wright Field" soon became synonymous with developments in the field of aeronautical engineering, a reputation that Wright-Patterson retains to the present day. This new portion of Wright Field became the headquarters of the Materiel Division, the main branch of the Army Air Corps responsible for developing advanced aircraft, equipment, and accessories. The Division also procured and provided maintenance for all of these systems and was charged with managing the extensive Air Corps depot system.
Wright Field incorporated the entire installation. Many citizens in the local community, however, believed that part of the field should honor the Patterson family in some way as recognition for their leadership in keeping the engineering center in Dayton. This happened on July 1, 1931, when the portion of Wright Field east of Huffman Dam was predesignated "Patterson Field" in honor of Lieutenant Frank Stuart Patterson. Frank Stuart Patterson, born in Dayton, Ohio, on November 6, 1897, was the son of Frank Jefferson Patterson and Julia Shaw Patterson. The elder Patterson and his brother, John H. Patterson, founded The National Cash Register Company and figured prominently in local Dayton history. Frank Stuart attended Yale University, but graduated "in absentia" in the spring of 1918 because he, like many of his fellow classmates, had joined the Army. He enlisted in May 1917 and was commissioned in September as a first lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps with the aeronautical rating of pilot. Lieutenant Patterson was assigned to the 137th Aero Squadron as a test pilot at Wilbur Wright Field the following May. On June 19, 1918, little more than a month after his arrival, Lieutenant Patterson and his aerial observer, Lieutenant LeRoy Amos Swan, went aloft in their DH-4 to test newly installed machine guns synchronizers. They completed two trials successfully, but during a steep dive on the third test the airplane's wings collapsed and the aircraft crashed, killing both crewmen.
Patterson Field consisted of the land known today as Area A of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. It included the Fairfield Air Depot and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field. Patterson Field soon became the Army's center for aviation logistics, maintenance, and supply. Although Wright Field and Patterson Field were now two separate installations, their missions continued to be closely intertwined.
Both fields experienced dramatic expansion during World War II, in terms of real estate as well as structures. Employment at the fields jumped from approximately 3,700 in December 1939 to over 50,000 at the war's peak. Wright Field grew from a modest installation with approximately 30 buildings to a 2,064-acre facility with some 300 buildings and the Air Corps' first modern paved runways. The original part of the field became saturated with office and laboratory buildings and test facilities. The Hilltop area was acquired from private landowners in 1943-1944 to provide housing and services for the thousands of troops assigned to Wright Field.
The outbreak of World War II provided a crucial test for the Materiel Division. Since 1926 the Division had managed its experimental, engineering, and procurement functions with limited peacetime appropriations. Changes were required within the Division to accommodate the massive wartime Air Corps expansion program. The functions of the Division were ultimately broken into two separate commands, the Materiel Command and the Air Service Command. The Materiel Command, headquartered at Wright Field, was responsible for the procurement of airplanes and equipment in production quantities and for sustaining an accelerated program of testing and development. The Air Service Command, located on Patterson Field, assumed responsibility for all logistics functions, including maintenance and supply.
The separation of these functions soon proved cumbersome and confusing. The Army Air Forces addressed this problem in August 1944 when it inactivated the two commands and reunited their functions in the newly established Air Technical Service Command. This action made Wright Field subordinate to the new headquarters at Patterson Field and had a psychologically divisive effect on the installation. To solve the problem, the portion of Patterson Field from Huffman Dam through the Brick Quarters (including the command headquarters in Building 10262) was reassigned from Patterson Field to Wright Field. To avoid confusing the two areas of Wright Field, the former Patterson Field portion was designated "Area A" of Wright Field and the original Wright Field became "Area B".
Patterson Field likewise saw the growth of hundreds of barracks and their supporting mess halls, chapels, hospital facilities, clubs, and recreational facilities. Two densely populated housing and service areas across Highway 444, Wood City and Skyway Park, were geographically separated from the central core of Patterson Field and developed almost self- sufficient community status. (Wood City was acquired in 1924 as part of the original donation of land to the government but was used primarily as just a radio range until World War II. Skyway Park was acquired in 1943.) They supported the vast numbers of recruits who enlisted and were trained at the two fields as well as thousands of civilian laborers, especially single women recruited to work at the depot. Skyway Park was demolished after the war. Wood City was eventually transformed into Kittyhawk Center, the base's modern commercial and recreation center.
Patterson Field and Wright Field remained separate installations throughout World War II. As the war drew to a close, base leaders quickly recognized the need to make the most efficient use of their facilities. In 1945 they integrated the master plans for both fields and increasingly administrated the functions and services of the two fields as a single installation. This practice was formalized in December 1945 with the establishment of the Army Air Forces Technical Base, Dayton, Ohio, which provided base operational support to the combined bases. On January 13, 1948, the newly created U.S. Air Force officially merged Wright and Patterson Fields to create Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. To facilitate daily management, Patterson Field became "Area C" and Skyway Park became "Area D" of the installation. Area D was donated to the State of Ohio in 1963 for the creation of Wright State University.
Today Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is arguably the most important base in the Air Force. From its beginnings as the Wright brothers' testing field, it has evolved into the headquarters for the Air Force's worldwide logistics system and all Air Force systems development and procurement, the aeronautical engineering center, a major research laboratory complex, the heart of Air Force graduate education, location of the second largest Air Force medical center, and home of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Wright-Patterson's age and history coupled with its vital air power missions, and significant functional architecture make it one of the Air Force's most historic bases. These elements make Wright-Patterson a place where past, present and future meet. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Hangar 18
Wright-Patterson AFB is known among those involved with UFO conspiracy theories because of its connection with the Roswell UFO incident of July 1947. Some believe that Wright-Patterson's Hangar 18 contains or once contained wreckage of a crashed UFO.
Dayton Agreement
The base is also notable for being the site of the Dayton Agreement, also known as the Dayton Accords, the peace agreement that put an end to the three and a half years of Bosnian war, one of the armed conflicts in the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia.
In Television
In April 2008, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base was featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi channel. The episode investigated Building 70 and the Arnold House. They were reported to have investigated Building 219 as well, but this building was not shown.
