Got wireless?

If you have a personal router and are connecting it to our network, wait! Please visit the appropriate section for a "how-to" first! Incorrectly configured or connected routers are one of the top reasons your connection gets suspended.

Going somewhere?

When going on break, please take a minute to look over the "best practices" of what to do when leaving on break .

Need help?

It's always a good idea to have this checklist handy. Over 90% of the calls we get from folks who can't access the internet are "self solved" here.

If you are moving into a site that has Cavalier Broadband Internet provided for you by your landlord, property management firm or condominium association, all you need is a PC with an operating system that supports TCP/IP and can obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP client).

  • Windows 98
  • Windows Millenium Edition (ME, not the same as Windows 2000)
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP
  • Windows XP (any edition)
  • Mac OS9 (and later)
  • Linux
  • Personal Router (wired or wireless)
Your computer will need an Ethernet card (LAN card) and a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.

Personal routers are supported, but we ask that you refer to the FAQ's for more specific information on personal routers.

UVa Targeted by RIAA

As reported by the Daily Progress (full article here ), seven users on the UVa network have been targeted by the RIAA for illegal music download files.

 The University of Virginia tracks which user uses each IP address at any given time (just like we do). As a result, they are able to forward these warnings on to the actual user(s) that downloaded the files.  If the users do not "settle", they may find themselves the targetof a lawsuit.

 We ask that if you have not actually "bought" a song or movie, that you not download it so we don't have to forward these same letters on to you.
