There is a firewall between ResNet and the rest of NYU-NET. This should not prevent any ResNet user from running a standard web server, and it should not have any impact on everyday web browsing and other common Internet services.

Ethernet card is the computer equipment that is needed to connect your computer to our computer network. It is similar to a modem but uses different technology to transfer information at a very high speed. [ back to top ]

Get an Ethernet card. However, if you can afford it, also get a wireless card for your laptop so you can use the wireless network where available.

External adaptors are available for both desktop and laptop computers which connect to either a USB port or PCMCIA card slot.

In theory Facade can run from a storage card, and some users have reported success with this. However, this does not always work so it is not recommended. The problem is that on some phones the storage card is not quite "on line" yet at the point when the home screen is being initialized, so the Facade portions of the screen will fail to load.

Yes, you will have to register twice: once for the wired Ethernet connection and once for the wireless connection.

I'm connected to the VPN and can now read online journals/exam papers but I can no longer view off campus web pages.

There are two commands you can run to verify that your network interface is running properly: ifconfig or netstat. You can also go through some of your files in the /proc directory, such as /proc/interrupts, /proc/pci, and others to see if you can find information about your card there.

This new generation of Ethernet cards provide a connectivity solution that allows you to connect to 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks easily. Increased performance: up to 10 times faster than 10Mbps PC Cards, and 4 times faster than 16-bit 100Mbps PC Cards.

On Windows NT the address of the Ethernet card can be obtained with the command ipconfig/all. The address of the Ethernet card is listed by Windows as Physical Address. sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep eth0 | awk '{print $NF}' | awk -F : '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) printf("%s", $i); printf("\n")}'

You can purchase a Wi-Fi 802.11b or g wireless networking card for most laptops and many handhelds from electronics retailers or direct from the manufacturer.

a first step, make sure your NIC is supported by the kernel, and all modules are loaded if any are needed. For further details on how to load modules on the fly or during boot, check the modules section of this FAQ. If you can manually run ifconfig eth0 up without complains, adding the bootup configuration is a breeze. Simply add a line similar to eth0=''eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255'' to /etc/rc.

In order to access ResNet, an ethernet card is necessary to access a network connection. Eliminating use of a modem will free phone lines in each wired residence hall room. There is never a busy signal when using a direct network connection!

Your ResNet connection will be at 10mbps (10 million bits per second) for the duration of your NYU career. If you have personal reasons to get the faster card, go ahead. However, you will never be able to utilize its increased bandwidth capability on ResNet. Most 100mbps cards also support 10mbps (they're usually designated 10/100mbps).

We use various high-quality Ethernet cards in your computer. The specific card depends on the precise configuration needs of your computer.
