Connecting To The CS Grad Net Using DHCP

Revision as of 18:11, 3 July 2014 by Phil.cs.jhu.edu (talk | contribs) (→‎Malone Hall)

Croft/Shaffer Halls

The grad net in Croft Hall and Shaffer hall is available in CS offices other than the Croft 225/227 Undergraduate Lab (as it has its own, separate network.)

Once you plug your computer into a network wall-port:

  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 CS net (Grad/Research net) with a dynamic IP address.

Malone Hall

Malone Hall has two general-use networks, "Public" and "Private". Dynamic DHCP service is only available on the private network. The standard network jack configuration is that odd-numbered jacks are connected to the private network, so you should plug your computer into an odd-numbered 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.
