Connecting To The CS Grad Net Using DHCP

Revision as of 18:48, 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. (DHCP services for static IP addresses are available on the public network, for people who have filled out an IP address application.) 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.
