Category:Networking

This category covers how to connect your own machine to the CS Network.

There are two main networks in CS, the CS Grad/Research Net and the CS Undergrad Net. Both have their own IP ranges and can only be connected to via an ethernet (Cat 5) cable.

The CS Grad Network can be connected to via wallports in most CS offices and labs, except for NEB 225/227 (the CS Collaboration Room and CS Undergraduate Lab).

The CS Undergrad Network is only available via wallports in NEB 225/227 (the CS Collaboration Room and CS Undergraduate Lab).

CS does not provide wireless capability. We suggest connecting to JHU's Hopkins wireless system if you would like to wirelessly connect to JHU. If you have problems connecting to JHU's "hopkins" wireless system, you can either contact the JHU Helpdesk at 410-516-HELP or, you can e-mail wirelessteam@jhu.edu for further assistance.

All computers that connect to the CS Grad or Undergrad net should be at their latest security levels and should be configured to prevent viruses, etc. For antivirus software, please see the JHU Antivirus webpage.
