Before continuing, please read Networking At CS - Overview to find out more about our network configurations before continuing. (We assume you've read that page before you continue to the next section here.)


Malone Hall's CS rooms have two general-use networks, Public and Private.

Dynamic DHCP (i.e,, non-static IPs) service is only available on the private network.

DHCP services for static IP addresses are available on the public and private networks, for people who have filled out an IP address application.

Remember, the standard network jack configuration is that odd-numbered jacks are connected to the private network, and even-numbered jacks are connected to the public network, so you should plug your computer into the appropriate jack. If you are unable to get on the network, please email support@cs.jhu.edu for assistance.

Once you plug your computer into a network jack on the private network:

  1. Open a browser.
  2. Browse to some website.
  3. Your browsing will be intercepted by our DHCP server.
  4. Fill out the form that appears, and click submit.
  5. Once you see a confirmation page appear, please reboot your machine. You will now be on the Private CS Grad/Research Net with a dynamic IP address.
