Generally yes. Recent Macintosh computers come with Ethernet built in and some products may have wireless as well. The Mac hardware and operating system[OS] has extensive networking functionality built in. You should check with Apple for details of connecting a Mac to your network.

CMU is maintaining the following telephone line for SLIP and PPP connection of users from remote locations: 412-268-9000 Windows 9x an later, Macintosh MacOs 8.0 and later: follow the standard instructions in your operating system to create a PPP connection using the above telephone numbers and the default settings. The TCP/IP settings should contain the nameservers mentioned here; the IP, gateway and broadcast addresses are established automatically after the modem connection is done.

With the current adapters you cant, the USB modem is the DSL equivalent of a WinModem and requires some processor power to perform the modem functions and convert the ATM data into TCP/IP for presentation to the PC. There is a Draytek device however which can effetively act as a router and presents ethernet to the user side. See details here.

Yes. You may connect your Waterford WISP high speed internet service to either an existing or a new in-home network. We can advise you on what equipment to get, if you would like to install an-in-home network. We can also help with the installation, if desired.

Apple Airports operate with the same 802.11-based technology as other types of routers in the marketplace. They also now are compatible with both Macintosh computer and PCs. Check with Apple for details on setup if you plan to install an Airport.

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.

Previously, we suggested that people use Mac modem cables; however, it has come to our attention that there is no one standard Mac modem cable. Since correct modem operation on a NeXT depends upon a correctly wired modem cable, buying a Mac cable is not a good idea. Some Mac cables do not allow dial-in and no Mac cable allows the use of hardware flow control. For these reasons, we are recommending that only cables that meet NeXT specifications be used.

Unfortunately no, we don't stock or supply any spares. What we do recommend is searching eBay for the items you need, eg "USB FLOPPY".

Windows 98 or greater is recommended, though most modern operating systems, including Macintosh OS, should function well with a home network. Detailed support for Windows networking can be found at the Microsoft Support site while Mac OS networking questions can usually be answered by the Help function in the OS or by visiting the Apple Support site.

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.

Students who live at home are encouraged to subscribe to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) through either a cable modem or DSL broadband high-speed connection. Use of a broadband ISP along with NJIT’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides high-speed access to most of the campus-based proprietary information services. You can access NJIT network services just as if you were on campus in the library, a computer lab, or residence hall room.

Detailed information on how to access the University network from Halls of Residence will be available shortly.

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.

Florian Xaver postet a list of intersting DOS network links to the FreeDOS mailing list: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/news/technote/157.html. Thanks a lot!

You should try increasing the switch time using "multinet changeparams -switch ". Also make sure the wireless zero config is turned off, and you are able to connect to the network. A way to check for connectivity is by following these steps. Firstly, turn off the MultiNet service, using "net stop MultiNetService". Then, turn on Wireless Zero Configuration, and try connecting to your network. Once you are done testing, turn off Zero Configuration, and turn on the MultiNet service.

No. You are not permitted to connect any 'network infrastructure' equipment to the network, therefore it is not possible to connect more than one computer.

Generally, with the equipment we're using - you need to have Line of Sight (LOS) to someone on the network already and they probably need to be within a few miles of you even with a clear LOS. Once you connect to them - you're on the network and should be able to connect to anyone else on the network regardless of how far away from you they are.
