Connecting to the CS Ugrad Net

Since CS does not maintain wireless connections, if you will not be connecting to JHU's hopkins wireless system, then, you will need to use a CAT-5 or CAT-6 cable for your network connection.

DHCP service with dynamic IP addresses on the CS Ugrad Net is available from:

  • the table-mounted and wall-based network ports within the Malone 122 Undergraduate computer lab
  • The wallports on the Undergraduate Computer lab side of MH G61.

Static IP addresses are not available on the ugrad net.


Obtaining a DHCP IP Address

  1. Set your computer to use DHCP.
  2. Plug your computer into a tabletop or wall-based network jack in MH 122 or the Ugrad side of MH G61.
    • Depending on your operating system, you may have to reboot your computer at this point.
  3. You now have a dynamically-assigned IP address on the CS Grad/Research Net.

NOTE: Sometime in the future, we will be using a different method for providing a dynamically-assigned IP, but for now, the procedure above works.)
