There are two ways to connect to the Dartmouth Network: Ethernet (wired) and wireless. 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 several years have built-in Ethernet capabilities. Many Windows computers — and all Windows computers purchased through Computer Sales and Service — have an Ethernet port on the back or side of the computer that can be connected 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 connect to the Ethernet network, you need to register your computer. See Network Registration for more information.
In order to get connected to Dartmouth Secure, our preferred wireless connection, please see the following instructions:
If you are unsure of the type of network connection on your computer, contact the IT Service 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. They will need to know the exact model of your computer.
