Your Aries has two Ethernet port: Primary Ethernet for your local area network and Secondary Ethernet for direct Internet connection. You should receive the Internet network parameters from your ISP, or instructions on how to obtain one automatically when you connect. The LAN address is determined automatically by the Aries.

There are several ways to connect your network to the internet. Connecting your network allows all computers on your network to access the internet through a single account. This can be accomplished several ways. Contact Fourway or your network consultant for more information.

Yes, all public jacks, such as those located in the Wheelock Student Center, can connect to the network free of charge. Wireless access is becoming a part of campus as well. A student may also choose to use the phone line in their room to connect to an independent Internet Service Provider. However, this will not allow students access to a high-speed connection nor will it allow access to the campus network. In addition, this will tie up the phone line.

You will need a computer (PC or Mac) with an Ethernet card and a standard Ethernet cable. Network ports — separate from the phone line — are available in every dorm room on campus, and a wireless network covers most buildings on campus. If you don't own a computer, there are more than 45 computers on campus for student use. Read more about the computer facilities and policies on campus.

For wired connections users must fill out an IP address request form for each machine they want connected to the network. You will need to enter the hardware (MAC) address for the Ethernet card being used. We use DHCP to provide IP addresses for laptops, whether it is a wireless or wired connection. We will assign static IP addresses for desktop and server machines.

ARIES is a client-level data system that has been adopted by the Texas Department of State Health Services to track services provided to people living with HIV in order to meet the requirements set forth in the Ryan White Treatment and Modernization Act (RW Act). In order to comply with the RW Act requirement to provide information to the State of Texas, The Resource Group has adopted ARIES as the client-level data system for its Part C and Part D Networks as well as state-funded services.

I am connected to MegaQuebec Internet and I get the following error message: The DNS server cannot find the address.

Yes. Like any router, NovaRoam routes traffic between networks. A NovaRoam can be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and serve as a gateway to the LAN for all other NovaRoams. To go one step further and connect to the Internet, a NovaRoam must be connected to a network that has direct access to the Internet. All other NovaRoams can use this networked NovaRoam as their gateway to the Internet. Additional steps, such as Network Address Translation (NAT), may be required.

You must have a computer with an internal or external network interface card (NIC) and a Category 5 (or "Cat 5") patch cable. If a NIC is not already installed, please purchase one and follow your product's documentation for installation instructions, or read the installation instructions given at index.html?type=installation. If the NIC is installed, you must connect the NIC (on the computer) with network jack (in the wall) using the Category 5 patch cable.

You must have a computer with a wireless network interface (internal card or external device). If a network interface card is not already installed, please purchase one and follow your product's documentation for installation instructions, or read the installation instructions given at index.html?type=installation. Once installed, restart your computer. Once the operating system has booted, if you are running Microsoft Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, visit index.

You should enable "port forwarding" in your router's configuration. Port forwarding allows passing external connections to computers in the internal network. Almost all routers support this type of redirection. For example, to access VNC or TightVNC server running on default ports, a router can be configured such way that TCP connections to ports 5900 and 5800 would be passed to the same ports of a particular machine with a specified private IP address (typically 192.168.x.x).

Yes! The Learning Resource Center has wireless access available. Additionally, the Biblical Learning Center (classroom building) has wireless connectivity available in select areas. Students with laptops will no longer have a need to use the computer labs!

Anywhere you place a door, someone is bound to knock! How you respond to that knock makes all the difference. Firewalls protect your valuable data from users who attempt to circumvent normal authentication procedures. These devices ask "Do I know you and do you have business here?" If the answers are yes, access is granted, if not, access is denied.

Some game consoles, such as the PS2, XBOX and Gamecube are able to connect to the internet over a home network. This enables online game play, a very popular feature of current games on the market. All of these consoles offer Ethernet connectivity, so simply plugging the console into one of the available ports on your router and following the console's instructions should get you on the internet.

YES. The Gnutella network is a system of computers connected only through the internet. In order for Deepnet Explorer to connect to the network, you must have an internet connection. Deepnet Explorer will not establish an internet connection for you.

If you use a wireless network to connect to the Internet, the wireless part only concerns your LAN. The communications link from your LAN to your Internet service provider (ISP) would be identical whether or not you had a wireless network. For example, if you connected an Ethernet network to the Internet via a 56K modem, when you upgraded your network to use wireless, you would still use the same 56K modem to connect to the Internet.

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.
