Computer Hook-up and Registration

After setting up your computer, connect to the network using your ethernet cable (this is NOT a phone cable). If you forget your cable, you can purchase one at the Bookstore;
Immediately after connecting to the network, launch your browser (Internet Explore, Netscape, etc.) and you will be directed to the on-line registration program;
You will need to know your BUnetID and password to complete this process;
If you did not complete the Responsible Computing steps prior to move-in, it will be necessary to follow all of the instructions to ensure that your computer is secure on the network;
Follow all instructions to register your computer on the network and then turn your computer off for 10-15 minutes;
Students living in Heitz Hall will be provided with a hub. Follow all instructions in your room prior to installing the hub including registering both computers directly to the network prior to connecting to the hub.
