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.

These directions have been put in place to help those that purchase a new macintosh computer with Mac OS X 10.5 pre-installed configure ethernet access.

Connect Via Ethernet CABLE

Step 1: Open System Preferences, either from the Dock or the Apple menu.

Step 2: When the System Preferences window appears, click on the Network icon. 

ethernet-2Result: The Network configuration window appears. From this window, you configure TCP/IP, AppleTalk, PPP (dialup) and even PPPoE (DSL with an outside provider).

Step 3: From the Location drop down menu (at the top of the window), click and create a new location (give it a name that makes sense to you). OS X will decide how you are trying to connect, but in this case we want to tell it how to connect, so from the left-hand pane, choose Ethernet.

Step 4: Click on the Apply button in the lower right corner.
To close the window, click on the red button.

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.
