Digital Copyright Guidelines at UNL
ResNet offers Internet access support for persons staying in the UNL Residence Halls. We can help you install the software necessary to use the campus network.
Access to the Internet at the Residence Halls is free; however, you will need a network adapter (built into most computers) and software configured on your computer. There is also a Residence Hall Registration Database that controls access. You will need to register your computer the first time you access the network and periodically after that.
Location:
During the regular school year, the ResNet Office is located in the New Student Welcome Center, right across the hall from the Abel-Sandoz Computer lab, for directions, call ResNet at 472-3535.
Check port Status:
To check the activation status of your port go to the Port Status page
Residence Hall Network access:
All residents will have at least one network port active in their room by the first day the halls are open.
If you are having connection problems on a Windows machine, you may need to release and renew your IP address. See the Troubleshooting instructions for details.
Antivirus information:
Everyone is strongly encouraged to take the opportunity to install or update his or her antivirus software. Users accessing the Internet from on-campus can download Sophos free of charge from http://resnet.unl.edu/antivirus/.
Announcements
There is now an opening for a Student worker in the ResNet office. If you like helping people and have a good background in Computers, go here. Put "ResNet Assistant" in for the Job Title.
Campus AntiVirus Contract
UNL has awarded a three year contract for AntiVirus protection to Sophos Antivirus. This covers all Faculty/Staff/Students for personal, office and lab computers. The old McAfee contract expired on June 30, 2005 so anyone with McAfee on the old license should download and install the new Sophos software from here. Anyone with current versions of other Antivirus software, (Norton, McAfee, AVG, etc.), may continue to use those and be protected. The Sophos software will also be available on the UNL AVCDs. The Sophos CDs will be available at the Residence Hall front desks, the Information Services Computer Shops in the two Unions and the 501 Building, the IS HelpDesk, and the ResNet office.
Residence Hall network bandwidth quotas
Information Services-Networking, with input from ResNet Support, the Help Desk and University Housing, has developed a plan to improve outbound traffic performance of the UNL Residence Hall computer network. The plan involves outbound bandwidth allocations and began on January 31st 2005, with active monitoring of bandwidth use for outbound network traffic only. For more information click the "Quotas" link at the left.
Two very useful tools if your computer is running slow or not connecting at all are Spybot Search and Destroy, and Malwarebytes. Links to both are available on the UNL AV CD available at your dorms front desk.
If your network connection seems very slow, you can check and compare your actual speed at several sites beginning here:
