- The first step is to register your computer on the network. To do this, with your computer plugged into an Ethernet port on the Dartmouth network, open a web browser. You will be prompted to enter a description of your computer, then click Continue. Next, enter your DND (BlitzMail) user name and password, then click Login. Once you see a window that tells you your registration is complete, close your web browser and wait two minutes. Registrations are good for one year. You'll receive an e-mail a few days prior to the expiration of your registration reminding you to re-register.
- Next, select System Preferences from the Apple menu or the dock.
- Click the Network pane and ensure that the Location field shows Automatic. You may need to click the Lock icon in the lower-left corner to make changes if the lock is closed.
- If your computer is using Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) or Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), select Built-In Ethernet in the Show field. Click the TCP/IP tab.
- If your computer is using Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), click Built-In Ethernet from the list on the left side of the window.
- Select Using DHCP in the Configure or Configure IPv4 field.
- Click the Apply Now or Apply button at the bottom of the window, then close the window.
Personalizing Your Macintosh Computer
You will need to personalize your computer when you first set it up. Be sure to use a name that is unique to you. This allows us to easily contact you to help with any network problems your computer may have.
From the Apple menu or dock, select System Preferences, then Sharing. In the Computer Name field, enter the name of your computer (e.g., JADoe). Close the Sharing window.
If you have questions, please contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, send electronic mail to help@dartmouth.edu, or call your department's IT support office.
