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.

  1. Click on the Windows button in the lower left hand corner.
  2. In the “start search” box type cmd
  3. In the command prompt, type ipconfig /all
  4. All your network adapters will be listed. Please find the one that describes your ethernet or wireless card in the Description field
  5. Once you have located the appropriate adapter, the Physical Address listed below the description is your MAC address.

Alternatively:

  1. Click on the Windows button in the lower left hand corner.
  2. Go to the Control Panel
  3. Click on Network and Internet
  4. Click on Network and Sharing Center
  5. Click on Manage Network Connections in the left hand pane.
  6. Identify your ethernet or wireless network adapter and double click on it.
  7. A window will pop up. Under Signal Quality click on Details.

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.
