Connecting To The CS Grad Net Using DHCP

Revision as of 18:36, 12 August 2013 by Steve410 (talk | contribs)

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-5/6 cable for your network connection.

DHCP service on the grad net is available from CS offices other than the Croft 225/227 Undergraduate Lab (as it has its own DHCP service.)

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

Open a browser.

Browse to some website.

Your browsing call will be intercepted by our DHCP server.

Fill out the form that appears, and click submit.

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.
