Before continuing, please read [[Networking_At_CS_-_Overview|Networking At CS - Overview]] to find out more about our network configurations.  (We assume you've read that page before you continue to the next sections here.)
 
 
 
Some additional notes before continuing...
 
 
 
Malone Hall's CS rooms have two general-use networks, '''Public''' and '''Private'''.
 
 
 
''Dynamic DHCP'' (i.e, '''non-static''' IPs) service is ''only available on the private network''.
 
 
 
DHCP service for '''static''' IP addresses is available on both the public ''and'' private networks, for people who have filled out an [http://www.cs.jhu.edu/ip-address-application IP address application].
 
 
 
The standard network jack configuration is that odd-numbered jacks are connected to the private network, and even-numbered jacks are connected to the public network, so you should plug your computer into the appropriate jack.  (If you are unable to get on the network, please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu] for assistance.)
 
 
 
==Connecting Using DHCP with an Assigned Static IP Address ==
 
 
 
When you filled out the CS IP Request Application for a Static IP, '''''if''''' you chose DHCP, then...
 
 
 
Simply plug your computer into the appropriate wallport (odd - private; even-public).  (Depending on your operating system, you may have to reboot your computer.)
 
 
 
You should now have your static IP on the CS Grad/Research Net.
 
 
 
== Connecting using Dynamic DHCP (i.e., not a static IP)==
 
 
 
(A quick way to get a temporary IP and get on the CS Grad/Research net.)
 
 
 
Set your computer to use DHCP.
 
 
 
Plug your computer into a network jack on the '''''private''''' network.  (Depending on your operating system, you may have to reboot your computer.)
 
 
 
You now have a Dynamically-assigned IP on the CS Grad/Research Net.

# Open a browser.
 
# Browse to some website.
 
# Your browsing 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 Private CS Grad/Research Net with a dynamic IP address.

(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.)
