Notice: Do not use a telephone line to connect your computer to the network jacks. You can pick up a network cable in Dailey Hall.

Before you can connect you must have a network card installed:

If you do not know if you have a network card installed, look at the back of your computer. If you have a plug that appears to be a larger version of a phone jack (usually with a couple of lights next to it) then you are all set. If not, then you will need to purchase a network card from any computer store or the bookstore. Installation instructions are usually included with the network card, or you can have it installed by a computer repair shop for a fee.

Once you have your network card installed:

• Use the network cable (available free at Dailey hall) to connect your computer to the port in your room
• Open your Internet browser. You should be directed to the network registration page automatically. If you are not, please go to www.brockport.edu)
