Computer Requirements

Students who bring their own cmputer may connect to the internet directly from a high-speed Ethernet connection over a dedicated T1 line in their dorm rooms.

To receive this free service your computer must have the following:

  • 10/100 Ethernet adapter card (laptop computers require PCMCIA Ethernet adapters) installed and working properly.
  • Category 5 ("cat 5") cable (a 25' cord is recommended). Cat 5 cables are different from regular telephone cords.
  • Updated virus program installed and running on your computer.
  • Most recent windows updates installed and running on your computer.
  • Configuration for a LAN connection.

We also recommend that you run Malwarebytes. This finds and deletes most malicious programs and spyware. Download the free version of Malwarebytes from http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button.
