The most current list of hardware and software that you will need to use ResNet, along with a complete list of the NYU residence halls that offer this service, is available on the NYU ResNet website.

ResNet, USC's residential network, provides users with network connectivity in residence halls, Leavey Library, and some academic buildings. You are expected to have read the USC Computing Policies before using ResNet.

Our ResNet program uses 100base-T. Our entire ResNet program uses standard RJ-45 type connectors for our connections. Crossover Ethernet cables will not work on our system. The length of your patch cable will depend on where you decide to place your computer in your room. For most areas a 25-foot patch cable will allow you to place your computer anywhere in your room. [ back to top ] ResNet uses DHCP and this information will be provided automatically to your computer when it connects to ResNet.

The wireless locations on campus are not intended to service residence hall rooms, although you may be able to use a wireless card in the public areas of your residence hall. If you want to use your computer from your room without using a modem, you must register it with ResNet.

All ResNet users are bound by the general regulations and conditions of service for University of Bristol computing facilities and additional regulations for the use of ResNet. You sign to agree to these terms when you apply for ResNet. In short, you can do anything legal which conforms to the regulations and doesn't interfere with other users. So, in moderation, you can play games, read on-line newspapers, transfer files, send email and whatever else you want to do.

Any Hofstra University student living in campus residence halls can have access to the Hofstra Network. There is a high speed data network port available for each room occupant.

The use of the Residential Network as well as services that ResNet provides are paid for out of housing costs. There is no discrete technology fee.

Students are allowed to connect more than one computer on the Residential Network, but must have their account modified to support multiple computers. Please contact ResNet to have this feature activated on your account. No additional fee will be charged.

Check to ensure that your computer's MAC address has been properly registered. Go to the Network Registration web page and login with your username and password. Check to make sure that the Ethernet card and software drivers are properly installed and the card is inserted firmly into the proper slot, if applicable. Verify that your network cable is correctly plugged into the Ethernet card on the back of your computer and ensure that it is firmly inserted to the data jack in the wall.

Yes. However, please note that file sharing through the use of any client or protocol is not supported by ITS, and excessive use will result in the automatic disabling of the network connection. Don't I need an IP address assigned specifically to my computer? No. ResNet uses dynamically assigned IP addresses. Each time your computer establishes a network connection, you will be assigned a new IP address.

You cannot connect to NYU's DIAL modem service while on ResNet; however, if for some reason ResNet is down, or you would like to manually disable your ResNet connection (not recommended), you can access the Internet via DIAL instead.

Yes you can use AOL and instant messenger using ResNet. In the configuration window inside AOL/Instant Messenger select LAN or T1 instead of modem. Can I Run a Server from My Room? Yes you can run a server from your room. Before setting up your server be sure to read the guidelines and responsibilities of being a server administrator.

A Web browser, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer or Netscape, etc., that is already installed on your computer. If you have an Apple computer, the instructions for connections vary by model. Please call the Help Desk for configuration.

All computers must be registered in order to provide the most secure computing environment possible. In order to register, computers must pass a test certifying that they are up-to-date on patches, have our current anti-virus program installed, and will continue to automatically update both. Since viruses spread through networks, this minimizes the possible sources of infection to yourself and any other computers.
