What do I need to connect?
To connect via cable to the ResNet, you will need a desktop or laptop with a network adapter and an RJ45 (ethernet) network cable. Note: A modem will not work in residences. Other devices such as hubs & routers are not allowed.
How can I tell if my computer has a network (Ethernet) adapter?
There should be a network cable provided in your room. The network port on your laptop or pc may appear next to an icon representing 3 computers connected together.
Plug one end of the network cable into the network port on your computer and the other end into the wall outlet in your room. Ensure it is connected firmly. You have now established a physical connection to the network.
How do I check whether I have a valid IP address?
If internet pages are not displaying, please carry out the following checks:
Check the connection is set to obtain address automatically:
From Control Panel > Network & Sharing Centre. On the left select Change adapter settings (Win 7) or Manage network connections (Vista). If there is a red cross against Local Area Connection, make sure your cable is plugged in securely. Right click on Local
Area Connection then click Properties .
