There are three ways to connect to the Dartmouth Network: Ethernet, modem,
and the wireless network. If you are living or working on campus, Ethernet is
the recommended method because it is faster and more reliable than wireless or
a modem. Ethernet jacks are marked with a blue plastic tab or dot in a box
mounted on a wall in your room or office.
All Macintosh computers manufactured in the last few years have built-in
Ethernet capabilities. Many Windows computers — and all Windows computers
purchased through Computer Sales and Services — have an Ethernet port
on the back or side of the computer that can be hooked directly into the
Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable. Refer to the owner’s manual for specific
Ethernet port locations.
If you do not have a network card in your computer, you can purchase one
from Computer Sales
and Service in 171 Carson Hall (646-3249).
Dartmouth has made changes to its wireless network infrastructure in
2008, including a new secure wireless network. In order to get connected to
Dartmouth Secure, our preferred wireless connection, please
see the following instructions:
For those users who are outside of the Dartmouth Campus area and who need to
connect to the campus using a dial up modem, please see the following
instructions:
If you are unsure of the type of network connection on your computer,
contact the Computing Help Desk at 646-2999 and select from the options
provided, send electronic mail to help@dartmouth.edu, or call your department's
computing support office. They will need to know the exact model of your
computer.
