User Server Policy

Web Site, Domain Name Services, Newsgroup, FTP and Mail Hosting is not allowed and is blocked unless you have a commercial account with us. We do not allow PC's to host any sort of service without a commercial hosting agreement. We limit what protocols can be allowed to run a "hosts" on the network, and it does not matter what port that resides on. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in having your connection turned off administratively until you comply.

 Multiple Computers Policy

We only allow one computer per bedroom/outlet. If you have more than one computer your service may be remotely turned off until you adhere to this policy. We have negotiated with building management for a specified number of users based upon the number of bedrooms. Ethernet splitters ARE NOT allowed, as these devices cause numerous errors on the network and are essentially hubs. Hubs, switches, splitters, and wireless access points are not allowed unless they sit behind your own personal router. If you need to connect more than one computer per bedroom, we suggest (and do not mind) if you use a Cable/DSL router which are available at the bookstore and many local office supply stores. To our network, a personal router appears that it is a single device, does not cause errors, and allows us to continue providing uninterrupted service and support to you.

Personal Router Policy

Be advised that any personal router not properly secured (wireless encryption enabled)  will be banned from the network. Banned users get this web page when trying to browse the internet. Securing a router is easy, a how-to guide is provided here .

Abnormal PC Activity

Be advised that any PC operating outside of normal guidelines (i.e. abnormally large packet sizes, etc.) or has a complaint lodged against it for improper activity of any kind, might be administratively disabled from accessing the Internet for cause. This will remain the case until the person(s) responsible for that system rectify the situation to our satisfaction.
